I'm not sure how many might have heard of Tales from the Green Valley, but it is an amazing series about life on an early 17th c farm in Wales. I have the DVD's and love watching about daily life from that time. It has a lot of great information and was done by archeologists & historians. The people in the DVD all dressed in the manner of the early 17th c and could only use tools, food, and equipment that would have been around during that time.
Tales of the Victorian Farm will do the same thing, but be late 19th c. It looks like it will be really interesting (if you are into late 19th c daily life). It's going to be on BBC2 tonight and on the 10th. Since most of us don't get that, I'm guessing it will be out on DVD soon to watch.
