The Wartime Farm

Whether you can, or you can't I'm sure there are lots of experiments involving loaves of bread going on now!

Short answer no the modern dye is entirely different.

Lots of bread going to waste then!

Reminds me of a job I had once that involved a potato mountain - potatoes were dyed purple and were supposed to be used as animal feed and farmers were given a grant in compensation. After a busy days work, we went into the local chip shop and guess what colour the potatoes were in the sack in the corner. They made lovely chips! There's always a way of beating the system

Very hard to peal petrol.

Did anyone watch this last night? I forgot it was on so only saw the last 20 minutes or so. Will catch up with it later.

[Bren In Pots]

I did worse than you VC I only caught the last 2mins so I'll be watching it later on iplayer.

[rustylady]

Iplayer for me too. I completely forgot about it

[veggiechicken]

So at least 3 of us forgot it was on! Do you think the novelty has worn off?

[Mikey]

It must have I haven't seen it once yet!!

Not sure about anyone else but I don't think its a good as the other era's they've covered.

[Potstubsdustbins]

I did and thought it was better than the first two episodes. I won't go into detail if your going to watch it on catch up.

Started watching it, about three quarters of the way through and got fed up. Not much about farming

[northepaul]

Cant watch it on the iplayer - doesnt work here!!
Missed the programme about the Vikings too....(wishes BT would sort themselves out!)
