- Synopsis:
Following the huge success of the 'Wartime Farm' series - watched by over three million viewers a week during its eight week run - historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologist Peter Ginn return to Manor Farm in Hampshire to recreate the conditions of Christmas 1944. 1944 saw the sixth Christmas at war and shortages were biting deeper than ever. Added to this Britain's cities were in the grip of the worst German attacks since the Blitz of 1940. Unmanned flying bombs - the dreaded V1 'Doodlebugs' and V2 rockets - rained down, stretching morale and services to breaking point. Peter learns how to brew potato beer and Ruth cooks an improvised Christmas meal, relying chiefly on rabbit and a glut of carrots from the farm. There are innovative home-made gifts for children, and ingenious festive decorations made from scraps. The Salvation Army bring musical cheer to the occasion as the team reflect on the impact of what was to be the last Christmas of the Second World War. - Actors:
