Anyone else feel like drilling a hole in their head watching this programme?
I especially feel like it when that woman is on.

Fascinating to see how our grand parents lived we know from stories passed down of course but very nice to see how it all worked.
Find the 3 presenters extremely entertaining, just the right combination of history teaching and humour.
Might not be for everyone but then there are many shows these days we don't want to see either.
Todays special was a real treat .
I hope we get another similar series next year......maybe a farm set in WWII?
Couldn't be further from the truth,IMHO. Excellent and informative programme, as are the three presenters.
In a Facebook fashion ... 'like' !!
I presume there's something in the program you don't like and that's an attempt at criticism.
Maybe you've already drilled a hole in your head if that post is what you can come up with.
I really like Victorian and Edwardian Farm, Coal house at War.
I'll watch them again and again.
I enjoy the whole construct with everyone dressed in period costume.
Ruth Goodman's an old school grafter, she's amusingly poor with a sewing machine, but she can do very little wrong in my eyes.
It is a bit unfair of me I know and I admire the concept of the programme but it's become a bit of a legend in our house as my son and I sat down last year to watch one of the Victorian Christmas episodes - bless him, he was only 12 and we sat through an hour that seemed to all about wet hay. He does remember the woman making butter though!
But the bonus has to be the two burly men who are very pleasing to the eye to watch....!
Can i ask why you watch it then? I feel the same about Eastenders/X Factor etc so I don't subject myself to them, and I certainly wouldn't be bothered posting in a thread about them.
I like the "Farm" programmes. It's fascinating to get an inkling of how people lived then, and I think the presenters do a good job.
No, but feel free to carry on. Remember to use the hammer setting for extra ease of penetration.
Or to be more authentic a genuine Edwardian mining drill, as used in episode 5.
But you do wonder if Ruth scrubs the floor for a couple of minutes while the camera's rolling, then a skivvy comes in to finish it off............
And the boys learning to plough..........well, they've been doing it for 5 years now, yet they still seem to go through this 'we've got to learn how to plough' every series.........
I'd like 'em to do something really different like Stone Age next.....
i think ruth is great .. also her daughter too ..
i agree there should be some programs.
I also loved watching coal house ..
I bet that's true, and I bet after doing a couple of furrows for the camera, they get a tractor to plough the rest of the field! Still, even if they do, I can't see why not.
stone Age or Viking settlers
I like the lads
I like Peter aka Fonz the best he seems to love the animals and always gets the muckiest jobs
