Wartime Farm
Season 1 Episode 3 of 8
Ruth Goodman, Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn experience the conditions Britain's farmers faced during late 1940, when three million city dwellers fled to the countryside to escape the German bombing raids of the Blitz. Alex and Peter try to convert their outbuildings into refugee shelters, and meet a 94-year-old man who was conscripted as a farm labourer after refusing to fight. The presenters also learn how farmers helped spot enemy planes and lure them off-target, before getting ready to celebrate a wartime Christmas
Wartime Farm airs on Together TV +1 at 10:00 PM, Friday 17 January.
