I saw the book of the series in the Book People catalogue (£7.99) and thought I'd missed the programme. Hope it's as good as Tales from the Green Valley.

Hi

Remember that ag labs fed the country. They slogged for hours a day digging ditches, ploughing fields and using heavy farming tools that are nothing like todays technology. They were also skilled.

A really excellent programme.

Very interesting, informative, and what a great idea to have the presenters to be "experts" dressed in the appropriate costume of the time - so that whilst carrying out all the tasks they could explain how and what they were doing.

If you missed it, do try and catch it again, and the rest of the series

I enjoyed the programme.

It was good that all experts were in costume.

But what hard work all day and every day.

I shall hope the rest of the series is as good.

Believe the 'presenters' are all historians  and not presenters in the normal sense.

Also the idea of them dressing for the part is that they are living and working as the Victorian's would have as they did in Tales of the Green Valley when they dressed in 17c clothing and worked as they would have in the 17c.

It amazes me that women put up with wearing all those long skirts and petticoats for so many generations!  The clothes must have been either wet, muddy or dusty most of the time.

I agree and it did seem to me that it would have got in the way a lot of the time with a lot of the tasks she had to do.  You should have heard what I said when Ruth was on the boat unloading the coal  ::)

Toni well worth watching, very interesting and amazing to think what an impact one small commodity -coal had on the world!
