In case anyone missed this series the first time round, it is being repeated this week, starting tonight at 7pm until 8pm on BBC2. The second episode is the same time on Wednesday and the third on Friday. Presumably the other three will be on the same days next week.

Thanks! (Pity I don't have Foxtel.) There is a date in the top LHS of each post. I often don't look at them and sometimes get a shock about when things were posted. Is this what you mean?

Each message on the forum includes the tme and date posted - look just above the name of the forum member. In this case, just above my name, you'll see [today/yersterday/23rd Spetember 2009 depending on when someone looks at it] and 9.08am.

BBC2 are currently showing another programme based at the Acton Scott farm where 'The Victorian Farm' was filmed.
It's a sort-of competition where each day two families (mum, dad, and two children) are given tasks to complete. Today the dads had to scythe hay, the mums had to make brooms, and the children had to make vegetable soup. It also showed the children carding wool, and the mums learning to spin it, ready for the 'weekly challenge' on Friday.
It's a bit dumbed-down, as we are subjected to the inevitable recaps every five minutes, but you do learn little snippets about every-day life. In the kitchen today when the girls were making soup was Eve Goodman (daughter of Ruth), who appeared a couple of times in the Victorian Farm programme.
The programme, called Escape in Time, is on BBC2, at 4.30 - 5.15pm, Monday - Friday, though there's a break next Thursday and Friday (15th and 16th July) when the British Open golf tournament is on. Twenty programmes in total in the series which began two days ago on Monday 5th July.

Ruth Goodman meanwhile is also back on BBC in the 'Victorian Pharmacy'.
Starts Thursday 15th July, 9pm for one hour, and there's four programmes in total.

I just caught the end of it today, as I hadn't realised it was on! Very interesting though. I love these type of programmes.
