If all else fails, you could try buying the dvd of the programmes!
Here is more information about it, (from Amazon UK, but I expect there
are many other sources, both for buying and for Region):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0045ZIY90/ref=s9_simh_gw_p74_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-1&pf_rd_r=0279RYWWSYB0CFXRVSXX&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=219600407&pf_rd_i=468294
There is also a book to supplement the information shown in the series:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Edwardian-Farm-Ruth-Goodman/dp/1862058857/ref=pd_bxgy_d_h__img_b
While the book is already available, the dvd will not be released until
February 14th, 2011; when it finishes airing on television, I suppose.
A Valentine's Day gift, perhaps?
I have purchased the dvd recordings and the books for their some of
their earlier series, ("Victorian Farm", "Tales of the Green Valley"
showing seventeenth century farming), and I have been overjoyed with the
quality of them all.
Since the participants are professional historians and archaeologists,
the research has always been of a very high standard. Also, their good
nature, and their enthusiasm for discovering what can be learnt by
trying the experiences, is delightful. That is especially so by
contrast with similar series which seem to concentrate on being amused
by the mistakes and sufferings people who know nothing about the period,
and who seem especially chosen to generate conflicts - "Big Brother in
Fancy Dress", as it were, if not a huge practical joke.
One final point, most dvd recordings of such series usually have extra
material, which perhaps was edited out of the programmes, and which can
be particularly interesting.
