0:00:02 > 0:00:06Two ordinary families are about to go on a journey of a lifetime.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11They're travelling back in time over 120 years, to 1890.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15For one month, they'll live like Victorian hill farmers,
0:00:15 > 0:00:18looking after all these animals.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21There'll be no electricity.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24It'd be nice to watch some telly.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Or running water.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28I was quite lucky to have one bath.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Urgh! How do you wash your bum with a newspaper?
0:00:31 > 0:00:34They'll have very little food.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I miss chicken nuggets.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39And not much money.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41We're doomed!
0:00:41 > 0:00:44So even the children will have to work.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Well done, Jac. That's the way!
0:00:46 > 0:00:49It's been 10-out-of-10 hard.
0:00:49 > 0:00:56Two families. One mountain. One month. How will they survive?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Stuck On Sheep Mountain.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Baaa!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Snowdonia, North Wales, in winter.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And here on Sheep Mountain is a Victorian hill farm, frozen in time.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16In these two poky cottages, it's the year 1890.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20There's no electricity, no central heating and no proper bathroom.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21Just an outside loo
0:01:21 > 0:01:24that smells like it hasn't been cleaned for 100 years.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26PIG GRUNTS
0:01:26 > 0:01:30For one month, two families will be holed up here.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Their only neighbours - 2,004 sheep.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Make that 2,005!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40It'll be a cold, lonely, tough four weeks.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Who's got the guts to take up the challenge?
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Meet Tommy and Leah Braddock.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Their family has signed up for a month on Sheep Mountain.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52How does it feel?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I'm looking forward to it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Yeah, looking forward to it, but it's terrifying at the same time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02They're a busy bunch, who don't get to spend much time together.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Mum thinks a month on Sheep Mountain will be just what they need.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We get along. Most of the time.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14- Most of the time. - Yes, most of the time.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17But what happens the rest of the time?
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Next up, meet Ela and Jac Jones and their family.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23They can't wait to get going.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27We're all very excited and don't know what to expect.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Because we know nothing.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Anna knows nothing, but I know lot.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39This lot love their games and gadgets.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yeah, that's why you're rubbish.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45Mum and dad think that a month in 1890 will show them
0:02:45 > 0:02:46how lucky they are.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But are they up to the challenge?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52We might act a little different because it's, like,
0:02:52 > 0:02:54a different environment.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57We can't go around listening to a bunch of music,
0:02:57 > 0:02:59and being all attitude.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05They're in for a shock.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Ela and Jac, Tommy and Leah,
0:03:07 > 0:03:11have no idea what they're letting themselves in for.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12Baaa!
0:03:12 > 0:03:17The families are about to begin their journey back in time.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20First, they'll need a whole new wardrobe.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22At Ela and Jac's house, there's a special delivery.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25And no, Dad, it's not one last pizza.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Yes, it's time to get that 1890s look.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37These are ladies' undergarments.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I don't think they're yours, Dad.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Back then, boys and girls dressed very differently.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47You could go to the school disco in that, it'd be great.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50No Victorian girl was allowed to wear trousers.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Instead, they wore long skirts, down to the ground
0:03:53 > 0:03:56and, underneath, lots of petticoats.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Lots of layers. It takes a long time to put on and take off.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Comfy, stylish, lightweight fabrics? Forget it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Poor people like our Victorian hill farmers
0:04:08 > 0:04:11wore clothes made of rough cotton or scratchy wool.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13It can be a bit itchy.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It's not the best.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19And of course, they'll need an old-school hair cut to match.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Curls were a must for Victorian girls.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26I don't know how I'll find curls, because I like my hair straight.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Jac's not too keen on his slicked down short back and sides.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35There's a lot of wax on it, to make it go to the side.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Meanwhile, miles away, Tommy and Leah's family
0:04:39 > 0:04:43are also getting in touch with their Victorian side.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I like the curls and the frills.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Zips weren't invented until 1893.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53So, Tommy's having to struggle with loads and loads of buttons.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Finally, they're good to go.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59I feel kind of ready.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04This is it. They're leaving everything behind,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07to go back in time to 1890.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Travelling in true Victorian style in a horse and cart,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17they're off to Sheep Mountain for the adventure of a lifetime.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Bye-bye!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Snowdonia, North Wales.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33After a long journey, they've finally arrived.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39For the next month, these two families will be living
0:05:39 > 0:05:42as one community, sharing the farm and all its animals.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48First impressions?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52The outside's lovely. Let's see what we've got here.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59I thought it would be all, like, the house would be grey or dark
0:05:59 > 0:06:03and scary, but it's actually better than I thought.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Tommy and Leah's cottage has only three rooms between the six of them.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Lovely, isn't it?
0:06:10 > 0:06:15Two bedrooms for sleeping, and a kitchen for everything else.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Cooking, eating, living and even washing.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21If you're going to bed, what's up there? How many beds?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Three single beds?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Up a wobbly ladder, Leah's found an extra bedroom.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27I'm on the left.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Tommy and Leah will sleep here, with their big brother, Jordan.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Heat travels upwards, so it'll be nice and warm up there.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38I like the whole bedroom situation.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39This is Tommy's bed.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42And this is my bed.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The whole cottage is the size of their living room at home.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It is very different.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56But, I suppose we could get used to it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02A field away, Ela and Jac are exploring their cottage,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04which won't take long.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It's even smaller than Tommy and Leah's.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09It looks quite warm.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- It's lovely and warm.- Cool bedroom!
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Look at that.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's the whole thing. You can share with Jac.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We'll see. - The little boys sleep together.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I'm not going in the kitchen. - No, Mam and Dad are.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Can I sleep in that one and them in that one?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Yeah, if he wants. You sort it out.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The house is cosy and warm and it's got nice beds in it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's really nice, actually.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34There's only one thing missing.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Have you spotted the toilet yet?
0:07:36 > 0:07:41In 1890, ordinary homes like this didn't have an inside bathroom.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44You had to pee in a potty, or use a toilet outside.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I'll let you go first on that.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Jac and Ela will soon sniff it out.
0:07:51 > 0:07:56The toilets of poor Victorians were just containers
0:07:56 > 0:07:58with a rough, wooden seat and no flush.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01They found it. That's a relief.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05This wooden thing. You might get blisters on your bum.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10- What's the toilet paper? - It's newspaper.- Urgh!
0:08:10 > 0:08:12How d'you rub your bum with newspaper?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17There's ink and it'd rub off.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Those Victorians must have had bottoms like leather.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Ela and Jac have explored their own home.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Now they're being nosey neighbours.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Hello.- Hello, come in.- Joseph, come upstairs.- Yeah, come up.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37CHILDREN CHATTER
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Have you been in yours yet?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42SCREAMING AND LAUGHING
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Looks like everyone's really hit it off.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49But there's something still bugging Ela's big brother, Ben.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54My sister is trying to tell me that I'm sharing with my brother,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58so across the bedroom, she can hog the double bed?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And I just laughed and went, "All right then."
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Ben thinks the neighbours are better off.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- They've got a mansion compared to us. - Have they?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- They have. - They've got, like, a double...
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, and then they've got two separate rooms.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- And their room's massive.- Our house has an attic near the top floor.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19You've got an attic? You've got a top floor?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Yeah, and we've got three beds on there.- Has it got en suite?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23What's that?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25They may be laughing now,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28but will one month in these cramped conditions
0:09:28 > 0:09:31be too much for our families?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Baaa!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38To get them started in their new lives
0:09:38 > 0:09:42the families have been given some food and money.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44There's our, er, spend.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- It's like a foreign currency. - Shillings.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Right, here's the shillings, anyway. - No, they're pennies.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54They've been given two pounds, ten shillings and tuppence, old money.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58It doesn't sound like much, but it's just enough cash for a month's rent,
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And the toothbrush is thrown in, too.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Like most Victorians, they don't own their cottage,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05and have to pay their landlord to stay here.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07There's plenty of food here.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11They've also got just enough grub to last a week,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14as long as they stick to three meals a day and don't snack.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Not that Jordan will find any crisps to snack on.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Once all this goes, obviously we still need to survive,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25because we're going to be here for the best part of four weeks,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27so I don't know, really.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Jordan's eating!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31After that, they'll have to live off the farm,
0:10:31 > 0:10:32which is eight small fields...
0:10:32 > 0:10:3412 chickens...
0:10:34 > 0:10:36two cows...
0:10:36 > 0:10:37two pigs...
0:10:37 > 0:10:38two geese...
0:10:38 > 0:10:4012 sheep...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42and a vegetable patch.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48They're going to need a crash course in farming.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57It's dark, so time to light the oil lamps.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00And then you wind them, lower them back down.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05In 1890, the electric light bulb had only just been invented,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07so this was how poor homes were lit at night.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And if you want it brighter, you raise that and make it brighter.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Or you can do two, really bright.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18And no electricity means no central heating.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22It's so cold you can see your breath in the air.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29At Ela and Jac's, Mum and Dad are working out what to cook
0:11:29 > 0:11:32for their first meal in their new home.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34So what are we having for tea then, boys?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Just haven't got a clue, have we, what we're doing?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39I think some kind of stew the, Dai.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Pull some veg up?- Yes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43And I don't know whether you want to start that ham
0:11:43 > 0:11:45or leave it for the time being.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Their supplies include a huge ham, a salted joint of pork.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51In 1890, there were no freezers for fridges,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55so the salt in the meat kept it fresh for weeks.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59And what about Ela, we've got to make something for Ela.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03Ela doesn't eat meat, and with a Victorian meat-based diet,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05it's going to be tricky to find an alternative.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08I don't know what I'll have for tea tonight,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09I think I'll have eggs, maybe.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13There's lots of eggs, and just, yeah, food.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Ela's mum and dad are trying to rustle up a vegetable stew,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19but it's turned out to be less than tasty.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22It's horrible at the moment, it really is horrible.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24And it's not just the flavour.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27They want to make sure that Ela gets enough protein
0:12:27 > 0:12:30to keep her energy levels up.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32This calls for drastic action.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35This is the bit where we don't tell Ela
0:12:35 > 0:12:38that we've had to put some bacon in.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- I know it's not a nice thing to do...- Too bad.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Don't you say anything.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45She wouldn't enjoy it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49They know it's out of order, but will they fool Ela?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- This is nice.- Plenty of flavour to it, isn't there?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yes, I was a bit worried about the flavour.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Mum, what have you done with mine? - What?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Have you cooked it with the meat in it?- No, we moved a bit out.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02We had it in another saucepan.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04I feel really bad about doing it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08If she finds out about it she's not going to be happy, but there we go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Teatime over, there's no telly to watch,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15so it's time for bed and it's only 8 o'clock.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19It's freezing outside, but Leah's got a plan.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22We had three single beds, and because we were cold
0:13:22 > 0:13:26we slid them all together to make a triple bed.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30To snuggle up to each other to keep ourselves warm.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33The Victorians didn't have nice, warm duvets,
0:13:33 > 0:13:37so everyone's making do with lots and lots of blankets.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Look how many blankets you've got.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41I've got one, she's got four!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44At Ela and Jac's, they can't get to sleep.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Could be the sight of Dad in a nightie.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49OK, this one first.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50And look at Ben!
0:13:50 > 0:13:52You've got Ela's cap on.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55It's just keeping my head warm.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57THEY LAUGH
0:13:57 > 0:14:00You look like the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01Dear me!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05It's been a long, hard day, but the real work begins tomorrow.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08OK, good night, everyone.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And it's not going to be easy.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15COCKEREL CROWS
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Daybreak.
0:14:16 > 0:14:195.30am and no-one's stirring.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25All the animals have to be fed and watered.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ceridwen needs milking, and Ruth's getting stroppy.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34But it's another three hours before anyone shakes a leg.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Jac? Are you up?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Jac hasn't had a lot of sleep.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Get up!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46We had eight layers on the bed,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and then Ela kept taking the blankets,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52so then I had none layers, and then I took it back.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55I think I will get used to it,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58because I'm going to be here for a month.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Jac's emptying the pee pot.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02There's a reason why it's so full.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05In the night, you can't just go to the loo,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07you've got to pee in the pee pot.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Which is, hard for some. Yeah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Jac pees in the bed or all over the floor.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17They don't seem to have realised yet,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21but once their food supplies have run out, the families
0:15:21 > 0:15:23will be depending on these animals.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27What they need is a wake-up call, especially Jamie.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And here's the man to give it to them -
0:15:29 > 0:15:33Gareth, a straight-talking local farmer.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37How's the milking been this morning?
0:15:37 > 0:15:39We've had so much to do!
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- It's been light for two hours! - I know.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Do you want a hand to milk the cows? - Yeah, that would be lovely.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- I want to milk the cows!- OK.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So, with Tommy safely in charge of the dog - whoops! -
0:15:52 > 0:15:55they head over to Jac and Ela's.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57KNOCK ON DOOR
0:15:57 > 0:16:03- Hello! Good morning. So, are we going to have some milking?- Yeah.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Getting this lot up to speed is going to be quite a challenge.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Right, come on, you've had a lie-in this morning.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let's go and get this cow.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Lesson number one - how to milk a cow.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Does he know which end's which?! To put the rope round?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Leah's never been this close to a cow before.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Well, it's definitely big.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Chunky. Erm, yeah,
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I suppose it is cute.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Oh!- What's happened? - He stood on my foot!
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Ah, that's nothing!
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Gareth starts by laying down the ground rules.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It's important to milk the cows twice a day. Morning and night.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- What time in the morning? - About half past five.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50When the sun's coming up in the morning, milk the cow,
0:16:50 > 0:16:52when it's going down at night, milk the cow.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Sounds like a long day.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58Jac and Ela's mum's first with their cow, Ceridwen.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Use your thumb to block, and use your fingers to squash.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04You should only be pulling one. Pull on one, and release.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06THEY CHANT: Moo, moo, milk the cow.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Moo, moo, milk the cow, moo, moo, milk the cow.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16The cow is like a walking fridge, with plenty of milk for drinking and making cream, butter and cheese.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Only trouble is getting the milk out.- Is that the right one?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21No, try the UDDER one!
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's not as easy as it looks.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Your turn's next!
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Now, Tommy and Leah's mum is getting to grips with their cow, Ruth.
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Down on one to begin with. Gentle movements. Look at your mam, boys.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Look and learn, Jac.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Victorian kids had to milk the cow as well.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Have you milked before?- No.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44We'll have to teach you as well,
0:17:44 > 0:17:46because you're going to have to help your mam.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50They've been at it for half-an-hour.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51How's it going?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Ela's doing a good job, Mam.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's good fun, but my thumb's hurting a bit.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's have a look how much is in the jug. Come on.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Not enough. That's not enough to put on the porridge.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- How are Leah and Tommy's lot doing? - Doing very well.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Got about quarter of a bucket.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Jac's bucket is filling up nicely.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Oops! Spoke too soon.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19We HAD half a bucket.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22We're now down to quarter of a bucket.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Shall we preserve that?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Jac, don't milk them, you need to clean her teats, look.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They're dirty, and that's no good.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Well, go and clean them, then!
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Don't stand here telling us to clean them.- I couldn't find the brushes.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37Oh, dear!
0:18:37 > 0:18:41It's only day one on the farm and already things are turning sour.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Doesn't look good for the rest of the month.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47We've got to get enough milk, otherwise we're not going to have
0:18:47 > 0:18:52porridge, we're not going to have butter, cheese
0:18:52 > 0:18:53and she needs to be milked as well,
0:18:53 > 0:18:55she's full, so we need to get it out.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Lesson number two, and a tough one.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Don't treat the animals like pets.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08We have one pig, called Big Wolf J.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11No, his name is Faith J Wolf!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Doesn't matter what his name is, we're going to eat him.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15PIG GRUNTS AND SQUEALS
0:19:15 > 0:19:20What's your favourite piece of the pig? Bacon? Will we make sausages?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Jac loves bacon.- Do you?- Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Yes!- He's a bacon boy. - It will give you big, strong muscles.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32He's going to be chops, joints, beautiful.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Ela doesn't eat meat,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38and she's already on first-name terms with the pig.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I think I'll be a bit attached, I'm a bit attached to it already,
0:19:41 > 0:19:47I've named her and everything, so, yeah, it's going to be hard.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49CHICKEN CLUCKS
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- What shall we name him, Jac? - Something sweet. Dinner!
0:19:54 > 0:19:57# Chick-chick-chick-chick chicken
0:19:57 > 0:20:00# Lay a little egg for me. #
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Lesson number three...
0:20:02 > 0:20:04how to herd sheep.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Without a dog.- Come from the side.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15There's 12 sheep here, six for each family
0:20:15 > 0:20:18but they need to know whose sheep are whose.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Get them all together!
0:20:20 > 0:20:24All they've got to do is catch them!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28Jamie, you're standing there like a lamppost.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33Hands out of your pockets as well. It's getting a bit stressful now.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Steady, steady, Jac, don't move. Don't even breathe.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- One at a time, boys.- Fantastic!
0:20:44 > 0:20:46They need to mark their own sheep by painting
0:20:46 > 0:20:49their nice, woolly coats with tar.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Time to choose a family logo.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- They're your sheep, you decide. - Maybe put a line at the top.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- If we do an X on either side, one on top.- So we do a line across.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04But they're not just cuddly pets, they're dinner
0:21:04 > 0:21:08and their fleece could be sold to make a warm blanket.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Leah's pitching in, it's a dirty business.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18It's not very nice. It smells weird.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24- That's it, class dismissed. - Fantastic!
0:21:29 > 0:21:35- At home, there's a nasty surprise. - Oh, we have a letter!
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Leah and Tommy, you've actually got a place at school.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40The children must present themselves for registration
0:21:40 > 0:21:43at the school room at nine o'clock prompt.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47All children in 1890 aged 5 to 12 had to go to school
0:21:47 > 0:21:50and they even had to pay for the privilege.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54"1d per pupil is payable weekly", so we've got to remember that.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Lateness and insolence will be punished.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Worse still, discipline was super strict
0:22:02 > 0:22:05and that's not good news for Jac.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Have you ever heard the word "insolence"?- No.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Do you know what insolence means?- No. - Cheek.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Cheek will be punished. All right? OK?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19So if you're cheeky we have to pay fines and you can't have a day off.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23What?! What if you're, like, seriously injured?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27If you're seriously injured or ill, no, you're going there
0:22:27 > 0:22:28because we have to pay money.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- What if you have a heart attack? - You still have to go there, mate.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33I'm afraid.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- We'll get you down there somehow or other.- Let's go out.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38There's no being cheeky, mate.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41It's a good job Ela behaves, isn't it, Jac?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- I'm not usually cheeky. - Are you sure, Jac?- Yeah.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- Are you absolutely sure?- Yeah.- Mmm, tell that to your Victorian teacher.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59It's late afternoon and time to milk the cows. Again!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03It's nice having animals around.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's not necessarily as nice having to look after them.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08That's the hard bit. Good girl.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Ela and Jac have gone walkabout and Mum and Dad are really struggling.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22They're over at Tommy and Leah's, singing for their supper.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24CHILDREN SING
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Ouch!
0:23:28 > 0:23:33Gareth's come back to see how the families are getting on and he's
0:23:33 > 0:23:38not happy when he finds Ela and Jac's mum and dad are on their own.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41This is not going to work unless everybody's going to pull together.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42Not going to work.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44These kids will have to muck in.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46They're just playing at the minute.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Victorian children had to help around the farm.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Their parents didn't think it was cruel,
0:23:52 > 0:23:53they thought it was good for them.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Right, you can do it after. - Shut up, Jac.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Don't be so cheeky. I want water in there now.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04There's no tea until we do these chores, Jac.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Right, tea doesn't make itself.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- I'm hungry.- I don't care how hungry you are.- Where were you?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Playing!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12We've got to get the kids involved now.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15With the children helping, it's a lot easier.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Putting water in and filling that hayrack.
0:24:18 > 0:24:24Jac's beginning to realise that life on a Victorian farm is no walkover.
0:24:24 > 0:24:32We do have a rabbit at home but it's nothing compared to sheep,
0:24:32 > 0:24:37lambs, chickens, pigs and cows.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41It's a lot more hard work than the rabbit.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44With the milking finished, at Ela and Jac's,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46they can get supper going.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49But before he leaves Gareth lays down the law.
0:24:50 > 0:24:57- Everybody's got to have a job. If you don't pull your weight... Jac?- Yeah.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03Your job, just check around the sheep and check if the cows are all right.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Yeah?- Promise?- Promise.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Jac and Ela's family are getting the message.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13But across the way Tommy and Leah's family have still not
0:25:13 > 0:25:16milked their cow and are tucking into their supper.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- The meat is nice. - I could get used to this.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Let's hope Gareth doesn't find out.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Uh-oh!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26You've got to milk that cow.
0:25:26 > 0:25:31If you want food on that table, you've got to get milking!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Come on, let's go.
0:25:36 > 0:25:42- Tommy!- Mmm.- Fresh water, look! - OK, I'll go get it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45I don't know what we're going to do with him.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Tommy and the others are finding that on Sheep Mountain
0:25:49 > 0:25:52everyone has to pull their weight.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Instead of going for tea, get all these jobs finished first.
0:25:56 > 0:26:02Get all the lads to get a job each. Chickens, cow, hay...
0:26:02 > 0:26:06It's less work for you. You know, that's what my children do.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10I'd organise them and get them a rota.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13If they're not going to work as a team, they're finished.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16They're finished up here anyway. On this mountain.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18It's easy for you, Gareth, you're a farmer!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Our families are total beginners.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24They barely know one end of the cow from the other.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26It's getting me quite upset, to be honest.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29She's got to be looked after and I feel sorry for her
0:26:29 > 0:26:32because we're letting her down.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Aren't we?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35We will sort it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42I suppose we could get used to it
0:26:42 > 0:26:45because in the 1890s they were able to cope with it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48We should be able to cope with it, hopefully.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52No, no, 1890 is too hard for me.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Erm, I just want to...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Not so much leave now, erm...
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but I'm looking forward to going back home.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08Next time on Sheep Mountain, life gets even tougher.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13- Their food is running out.- They've just eaten everything.- It's not nice.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17Money is so tight, the lads have to find a job.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I caught you chucking stones, so that's a penny I'll fine you. OK?
0:27:21 > 0:27:26- We're doomed.- And the kids get a short, sharp shock at school.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32- You do not yawn in class, boy! Sit up straight.- It's been torture.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38It's been boring and the teacher's been cruel.
