I've learned so much in this series, from Ruth in particular. She's taught me I need to steam my oven to get my bread to rise, to make melomel from my parents overripe garden peaches instead of throwing them out, to put my starter under the same peach tree to supercharge my yeast, and so much more. I even roast my hotdogs and marshmallows in front of instead of over the fire now. My mom used to think I was nuts: now if I make a cooking or baking suggestion she asks if it's a medieval farm thing, and then just does it.

For me, it's Peter. He's knowledgeable about the old tech with a great, wry sense of humor, always willing to "get stuck in" as they say and seemingly a very sweet, gentle, kind man. He's usually the dirtiest one on the set because he doesn't seem to hold anything back just like a little boy at play. In other series, he's always the one to do the heavy lifting. His work on the "alarm" clock in a previous episode is amusing. He goofed something up and the spring unwound in a few seconds. Zing! Oops! The look on his face .... These series are a wonderful look into history. I love history and BBC documentaries are chock full of the best. These series are great because the have useful information in them like different edible weeds, herbs to chase off bugs, cooking tips and much more. I think I've seen all of these different series, but I keep my eyes open hoping for more!

Finding a suitable blocking shot may be tricky, but once you have it you have it. The real problem with period productions is sound, because it can change constantly. Jet Overflights, nearby highways (horns) or, when they filmed Edwardian which was abutted by working farms, heavy machinery caused many a delay in scenes. I watched an interview where Ruth was talking about trying to film scenes during Edwardian and it was constantly delayed by a front-end loader on a neighboring farm being put into reverse and it would beep loudly and exclaim 'VEHICLE IN REVERSE!' and this would echo across the valley. Ruth said there were days where she was convinced the machine only drove in reverse.

I have enjoyed watching these series

Just seeing them handling those lead ingots makes my skin crawl. There's no safe amount of exposure to lead.

I was thinking that, like I'm well aware that in tudor times they didn't know the dangers of lead....but surely you should have some more precautions in modern times even while trying to recreate this experience

@@GBfanatic15 I'm horrified that they're even entering these mines! They say they haven't been used in 130 years, it could easily be unstable and collapse on them.

Yes there is, it's perfectly safe to handle lead ingots. The vapours from melting it is not safe though. Lead is dangerous when it enters your bloodstream, not when it touches your skin.
