  • A three-part companion to BBC's historical documentary series "Victorian Farm" tells how the Victorians prepared for and celebrated Christmas. Re-creating life in the mid-19th century are archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Gunn and historian Ruth Goodman, who return to the same farm in Shropshire, England, where the original series was filmed. There, they make traditional food, gifts, games and decorations.

    Excellent work!!! Loved watching Ruth stay composed when the landlord told her he had moved her garden. She was so excited to see it after so much love and care and then - the guy says he moved it.

    I'm with Alex. Bah-humbug. Christmas is too commercial and starts waaaay too early in the stores these days. It lessens the impact of the actual day of Christmas and those days immediately around it. And the commercialism cheapens the joy of the season. You don't have to be overly religious to enjoy Christmas, but lets all tone it down a bit, eh? Fabulous documentary though, giving an insight into times that were both simpler and harder.

    • @zyxw2000

      Actually the commercialism began during the Victorian era. There are other videos on that subject.

    Quite frankly, it’s almost like a scene from the classic Disney movie known as “DR. SYN, ALIAS THE SCARECROW” starring the late actor Patrick McGoohan.
    In fact, it makes one wonder how Christmas is celebrated in and around the areas of Romney, Dymchurch, and the rest of the vicinity of the white cliffs of Dover?

    Would I be crazy to think that the production crew likely filmed most of this content during the original year of Victorian Farm, and that this was the unused stuff? It just seems awfully disjointed at times, and a lot of it has nothing to do with christmas. Until the actual christmas stuff at the end, the weather seems too warm, their clothes aren't winter clothes, and the environment seems too green.

      this must be in YOUR country. i am watching here in Moscow,Russia, there is another one in Ohio,USA:
      With only the promotion clip from Timeline. Which is by the way shown on any Timeline episode.
      Even the ones with Sir Tony Robinson...
      But no other advertising, not in any language, since we know it is fed external, from a local -provider-.not at the beginning, middle or end. And definitely NOTHING every 3 minutes.
      I have no ad blocker, no tricks that i know for sure. nothing.
      And already back then when i was watching this episode , actually the whole series, there was no advertising here.
