I love the farm series that chronicles farm life in different periods of history. But this season was by far my favourite because Tudor era life is the most different from ours- the simplest yet the most fascinating!

I did miss Alex but it was still so interesting to learn how things, machines and techniques developed- as well as linguistic phrases. Ruth is a delight as always- enthusiastic, positive and cheerful. I wish they did this in more periods of history.

The final of the _ Farm series (so far), this time joined by Ruth Goodman, Peter Ginn, and Tom Pinfold, the latter a newbie of the bunch. Sadly Alex Langlands from the previous series is missing, and is certainly missed. The farthest back in history gone yet at representing life ~500 years ago, I was immediately impressed and reminded of the dedication of staying in period clothing and dress throughout. This has been true for all the series, and is particularly a treat when there's larger gatherings or others of particular industry with specific garb, but it really honestly is impressive the detail they put into particulars. That all said, going back so far in time I imagine things get increasingly more difficult (and expensive) to reproduce in the modern era for television. At only again 6 episodes like the original series, we somewhat feel rushed through the period, and never get a true sense they were truly living there. Again understandable as living a true monastery lifestyle would be a whole different dedication required than even representing Victorian / Edwardian farming periods as some modern luxuries still made life generally livable (for middle / upper classes) without relying on mass communities for basic tasks. All said, was definitely interesting and informative, but the three hosts seemed the most tired and detached for this one. I still haven't checked out the Victorian Pharmacy series, itself a spin-off of Victorian Farm, so fingers crossed Tubi also adds it eventually. As for this one, if you've seen all the others, or are particularly interested in this time period, would recommend.
