Wartime Farm

Episode 8 (1x8)

Data di messa in onda: Ott 25, 2012

The team face the conditions of 1945 and prepare to harvest the wheat crop following one of the wettest summers in memory. Even as the conflict drew to a close, the need for home-grown food became greater than ever. With Britain sharing the responsibility for feeding populations across war-torn Europe while struggling to afford imports, and American aid no longer available, rationing lasted well into the 1950s. As a fitting send off, the team celebrate the harvest with a 'Holiday at Home' - inspired by a government scheme to encourage exhausted workers to make the most of time off without travelling anywhere. Alex has a surprise up his sleeve to make the party go with a bang.
