BBC Victorian Farm
BBC Victorian Farm is a British historical documentary television series that aired on BBC Two in 2009, consisting of six main episodes broadcast from January 8 to February 12, 2009, followed by three Christmas-themed episodes in December 2009.
The series, the second in the BBC's historic farm series, recreates everyday life on a farm in Shropshire during the 1880s using authentic replica equipment, period clothing, original recipes, and reconstructed building techniques.
It was filmed at Acton Scott Historic Working Farm, a preserved Victorian-era living museum, and produced by Lion Television for the BBC.
The main cast includes historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn, who lived as Victorian farmers for a full calendar year, undertaking tasks such as restoring a cottage, tending livestock, ploughing fields, harvesting crops, and preparing food using only period-appropriate methods.

The series was highly successful, becoming one of BBC Two's biggest hits of 2009 with audiences reaching up to 3.8 million per episode, and received widespread critical acclaim.
It was a sequel to the 2005 series Tales from the Green Valley and was followed by Edwardian Farm in 2010, Wartime Farm in 2012, and Tudor Monastery Farm in 2013, all featuring the same core team.
A related book titled Victorian Farm, authored by Langlands, Ginn, and Goodman, was published in 2009 and reached number one on the Sunday Times bestseller list.
The DVD of the series is distributed by Acorn Media UK.
The show's success also led to the creation of related series such as Victorian Farm Christmas, Victorian Pharmacy, and Ben Fogle's Escape in Time.
