Yes, spotted this in the TV guide Nanny Jan, should be good.

 I'd defy anyone on here not to have an Ag. Lab. in their tree!

Since I have carried the sheaves which fell off the tractor to a steam threshing machine and also picked peas etc. in my youth I guess that I was an Ag Lab.

Hello everyone,what an interesting programme that promises to be. Acton Scott is a working farm where everything is done as it was in the 1930`s. It is a lovely place to visit especially with children. The farm buildings and cottage pre-date the 1930`s and will be Victorian. It is on the eastern side of the county not far from Church Stretton. They plough with shire horses ,make butter by hand churning and things like that. There is a very nice little restaurantwith home-made scones and cakes etc.A very pleasant day out.Thank you for bringing our attention to the programme. Viktoria

No Ag. Labs. as such so far (just the "oldest young farmer in Britain"   ;D), but Acton Scott features in my more recent family history, so will be looking out for that.

My maternal side were mostly Ag labs. Not sure if I would fancy the reality of a 14 hour day of very hard graft !

Here's some more information on Acton Scott -

My Dad was a bit surprised to see plenty of farm tools that he had used as a lad on display as museum exhibits - now that does make you feel old!  He was also able to identify the "mystery tool" as a peat spade because he's spent plenty of hours using one.

I really enjoyed "Tales from the Green Valley" and am looking forward to this series.
