hell yes. Between Secrets Of The Castle, Tudor Monastery Farm, Tales From The Green Valley, Victorian, Edwardian, and Wartime Farm, I always have one of them going almost daily. Couple these with Time Team and I am in history heaven. If you have not watched Time Team I highly recommend it. It's my all-time favorite show. It's a group of archaeologists, experts, and historians, along with a presenter, doing weekend digs. Truly fascinating and informative. For an educational show to last 20 years and spawn well over 300 shows between the regular episodes and various specials is incredible. These two contributors have it all, every episode, special, and spin-off type show between them. I truly appreciate their work and highly recommend watching the shows in sequence since you get to see the team grow and learn so much over the decades. I know more about British history than my own here in the US. :) All Time Team episodes kzitem.info/news/bejne/2nqJyX6XoaVllWU All time Team specials kzitem.info/news/bejne/15VpzZ1sqGWcl5g I recommend watching the first 6 seasons of Time Team before getting into the specials.

I tossed my TV a few years ago, and don’t do radio or news (stopped that over 10 years ago), either. Clears the mind like nothing else, and I don’t miss it at all. I’m very careful now what I allow into my head. This is the first bit of a more “modern” TV-type show that I’ve seen in quite a while, a more modern production, but old-school technique. I do still watch instructional videos, and more obscure vids if they’re created by individuals and not corporations. People worldwide have a lot to teach each other, in that part I do still engage. The manufactured, mainstream world of TV, radio, magazines, news, etc. is absolute cast-off, mental mucky sludge. Ending all contact with it is like having a long, hot, scrubbing shower and being all snuggled into cozy pajamas and a cozier bed after having fallen into a cesspool. I doubt most people realize just how good they’d feel if they just unplugged. Highly recommended.

D E: Nice to hear from a fellow liberated one! Still, the patents on the equipment itself is pretty scary, beyond content, but so are the ones for computers, and I still use them, but watch less and listen more to new info (substantiated only, not the Freemasonic stuff sold to the masses by the mainstream media) every layer peeled away sure does help! Of the mainstream stuff; the old, old stuff is best and of course the Brits do it better for sure. When I did watch TV, it was mostly the same as you, mostly Brit and nature. Now it’s on to what can be done by individuals and how to maneuver around the manipulation going on. Lots is done to distract the people. But it’s simpler than they think. Refusing to engage is a good first step;) I am lucky, I haven’t had te backlash that many experience when they unplug (or maybe people know better than to give me a hard time, I just give it back). I’ve always been the oddball, sauntering along, not marching, to my own drummer, so it never bothers me if people think I’m weird. I usually just think they have a sad life; they lost out, buying into something someone else has sold to them, a phony life of endless dissatisfaction and loss of self-esteem, with shallow offers to buy it back at extreme prices, like endless work hours to pay for unimportant things, time stolen from loved ones to buy more stuff and feel more important to impress people that don’t even care about them at all, and they fell for the whole thing hook, line, and sinker:/ I pity them. They’ll die and never know what really mattered, but they’ll have a face full of Botox, a body full of silicone that will still rot everywhere else when they die, and a closet, garage, and entire house full of stuff that stole precious life hours from them. That’s very sad. (I once knew a girl who lived in a horrible low-rent neighborhood, and still wanted to keep up appearances for others to the point where she wanted to buy a wallet for $900 while we were out shopping. It was far more than her entire month’s rent, but she wanted a wallet (which was actually pretty ugly and bland), but had a designer label on it, just so she could say she spent $900 on it. She could’ve had a happier life in a safer neighborhood or even just saved it and not watsted it, but she was constantly spending money to try to make other people think whatever it was she felt they needed to think about her. She’d been violently assaulted in that horrible area more than once, but appearances were more important to her than just buying a little less junk every month, she could have had a decent place to live and a lot less stress. Rich or poor, many just waste their worry on appearances. So unimportant. Other go on shopping sprees to cheap stores, for “shopping therapy”, to buy useless junk, all to try to fill their empty voids that are unfillable with material things. Seems most people never bother to stop and think for a very long, or they might do something entirely different with their lives. They get caught up with the flow and they just swim along in the main stream. And that’s exactly where the main stream wants them...slaves to the system.

Maybe it is unavoidable though and not really the fault of the victorians, because our whole societies get "industrialized" ... and so are the holidays. Just look at how Ruth described the changes in washing and cooking, which really showed that you cant have one but not the other.

6 жыл бұрын
Sorry but I agree with prettypete007 a little because it's YOUR choice as to how you celebrate Christmas and it's YOUR traditions you set for YOUR family. Societies pressures should have nothing to do with it, or your older family. Once you have your own family, you marry someone who agrees with you on how you want your children raised. You don't marry and then fuss over what should be done. If you start out leaving the commercialism out of it, then your children will grow up knowing the importance of the holiday instead of how much they are expected to spend. We set a budget every year and we stuck to it. Things were made also, even trimming the tree we all got involved and made things fun. Not everyone is into spending thousands of dollars on something that will gather dust or truly doesn't need. It's a shame everyone blames society on what it has turned into...BUT who is "society", it's US! So WE control what is and isn't expected. Again as I tell everyone...you have a CHOICE and it's YOURS, not someone else's. Don't live by what someone else thinks. They don't feed you, clothe you, pay you or your bills. And hopefully you won't let them raise your children. It's all about choices in life, which affect our tomorrows.

They didn't have credit cards, and children were seen and not heard. Now they're heard whining for the latest electronic gadget that ironically results in their not being seen or heard because they're locked to the screen.

It's a working farm, so I wouldn't assume the work was for show. They did specifically mention in another series that they would want to cut the hay-grass in bloom, as that was the moment when the greatest amount of nutrients were being delivered into the above-ground portions of the plant; what's the reasoning for cutting it before that point, if you don't mind me asking? Reading a bit, there seems to be some suggestion that the toxins in buttercups are only active when the plant is fresh, making hay from dried buttercups safe for animals to eat, but that idea seems in contention.

If anyone could hold on to the traditions of the Victorians it would be the English, and only in Europe do they have a respect and appreciation for the Victorian era. For that matter, every era from the dawn of time as far back as stonehenge and the day of the Druids. Sadly, America cannot make this claim for every year the Victorian homes are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Many homes are discarded for a new more modern home and some are left to rot and decay.

Unfortunately, these are all of the series they have made (including the Full Steam Ahead one which is probably too modern for you, as well, but it's still a good series if you crave more from these guys like I do :p)

The expression BAKER'S DOZEN did not come about the way mentioned. Rather when a person ordered a dozen loaves of bread, the baker would add an extra loaf, making the count 13, not 12, for fear of being accused of not providing sufficient weight, or measure, of bread. Goes back a long way in British history. Try as far back as Henry III who introduced the law to standardise the weight of a loaf of bread. Also, surprised the hay dray, or hay wain as it was also known, did not have sides as it was supposed to. That was a serious mistake as can be seen from their losing the hay as it landed on the wagon. Learn from mistakes. I did enough of that sort of work with my grandfather in rural Yorkshire, England after WWII. Same work, same machinery, same wagons and we had to take the wheat to the local windmill.

I did haying using almost the same equipment except with a tractor to pull the hay wagon and rake and hay-picker-upper. That machine had hooks picking up the cut hay onto a ramp dumping the hay into the hay wagon. The hay cutter was powered by the tractor. After the hay picker, we used hay forks to pick up every stalk of hay the picker missed.

I'm enjoying watching the program and am comparing their methods of 19th century farming to farming here in Northeast Tennessee, USA durring the same period. So far in observing the cutting of hay I think the 19th farmer would have left the hay where it lay until it was dry, then it would be put into Wind rows.

Eh-eh. I found a discrepancy. Around 38:00, Peter says that during the Victorian period there was no fixed idea of St. Nicholas and that it wasn't until the 1930's when Coca-Cola... etc. (you can go to that point for the rest.) No, no. And I'm very surprised to find such a glaring error. Clement C. Moore first published "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (or, Twas The Night Before Christmas) in 1823, even before the Victorian era began. And it was immediately a big hit. In it, there is a very detailed description of St. Nicholas, from his clothes to his pipe and beard, even his sleigh and his reindeer. Though Coca-Cola did have a famous campaign in the 1930's, that was long after St. Nicholas was firmly established in his traditional wear... and even though it was "only" an American poem, I believe it was popular throughout Christendom. Where Peter got this nonsense about Coca-Cola I don't know. He really should have checked his facts.

There are certain appealing aspects of the Victorian Age, but one often forgets how laborious the time period was. There was little personal time to read. Most time was spent preparing for tomorrow, to next week. All of the labor made for a tedious life.

It's good to see the three back together, although I'm not real crazy about Ruth but she certainly works very hard; she just talks so much and I think she over does it on the laughter thing. But she's a good person all and all. I got the biggest kick when they brought the sheep out to buy. The guy said how you need to make sure the male sheep has a "masculine face"...so... at 22:06, that sheep looked over at the other sheep and thought "I'm strong and masculine, no girly stuff about me...how 'bout ewe?" lol Such an enjoyable show. Just love this time era.

I'm not trying to be mean or nasty. I am just making an observation. If a man made a comment similar to yours regarding a couple of young women, the women online would jump all over that man and call him a sexist and other names. I'm just curious as to why this is the case. Like I said, I'm not trying to anger anybody or to cause a flame war in the comment section.

Claidheamh da Laimh if anyone makes a comment about most anything online someone is going to get upset about it and say so. You have to expect that if you’re going to comment anything online. There are billions of people in the world and the vast majority of them aren’t going to be upset about someone saying that someone else is attractive but the few that are will certainly say so online and it’ll feel like the whole world is jumping on you. It’s a little more acceptable for women to do it because women don’t have a history of being so bold with their preferences and society is telling them that it’s ok to feel the way they do and they shouldn’t have to hide it but also because women don’t have a history of being a threat to men physically or mentally based on levels of attraction while men can’t say the same thing. Even today, if a man is attracted to me a part of my brain is looking for any sign that he’s a danger to me but men don’t have to worry about that.

I had begged her years ago to leave him because he was so physically and mentally abusive, but she wouldn't until he almost killed her. I had no designs on her, I just wanted her to be safe.

37:16 CORRECTION Santa Claus was what Coca-Cola used in the 1930's and he was based on the Thomas Nast cartoon of the Civil War-era, not Father Christmas. Father Christmas is a Puritan-era predecessor to Santa but both modern interpretations derive from the Dutch Saint Nicklaus.

You are kind of right but the program was also kind of right. Santa Clause as known in the US was a product of Clement Moore's poem "A Visit from St. Nick" and Thomas Nast's drawings. THAT version of him stayed pretty much in North America but then was spread worldwide by the Coke advertisements so Britain wouldn't have received major exposure to the fat bearded man in a red suit until the 30's.
