Of course they interact with a lot of “locals” who are all in period costumes (but who do NOT have to spend a year dressing and living that way). They then work the farm for a year with only the clothing, food, resources etc that would have been available in 1940’s during WWII. Historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn move in to a cottage farm in Hampshire, England. Let me explain the premise of Wartime Farm. Tales from the Green Valley (17th Century Farm) So there are quite a few of these series, each ran for about a year and covered a different time period. As a matter of fact in all the ones I’ve watched (and I’ve watched a lot) if there was ever any personal conflict between the participants it never shows. They are entertaining and educational, but don’t go in for all the personal conflict. Actually a better term for the show would be “Historical Re-enactments”. I just adore BBC 2’s historical “reality TV” shows.

This was Alexei Panshin's first novel (though not his first published work), and it won a Nebula and was nominated for a Hugo.

In 2198, 150 years after the desperate wars that destroyed an overpopulated Earth, Man lives precariously on 100 hastily-established colony worlds and in the 7 giant Ships that once ferried men to the stars.

While China, India/Pakistan, and the Middle East had long been at the frontier of global civilisation, Victoria argues that the lack of opportunities for women acted as a break on what these economies could achieve. The Sex Factor argues that women were in fact Europe’s secret weapon, allowing it not only to catch-up with but overtake parts of the world that had been ahead for millennia. Traditionally, accounts of the “rise of the West” have focussed almost purely on the lives of men – on the famous male merchants, entrepreneurs, engineers and scientists cast into bronze statues, basking in the sunshine in the centre of our big cities. In her book The Sex Factor, published in 2019, Victoria argued that Europe’s rise was rooted in the - relative - freedoms of women. 'A faultless novel, effortlessly profound.
