Jeepers Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 These are mostly documentaries from the BBC and a couple of period movies I've saved. I can't 100% verify the rating since it's been a while since I saw most of them. I'll gladly remove any of them that have a "surprise" in them. I hate when that happens!I didn’t put the links in because after a while the links don’t work any more and it says the video has been removed. If that happens, usually if you type in the name of the show in the Youtube search box, it will work unless the original poster removed it. I don't know why that happens.1900 HouseA Tudor FeastBritish High Street In WW2Coal HouseCoal House At WarColonial HouseCranford Frontier HouseIron Age – Reality Living In The PastManor HouseRegency HouseRegency House PartyTales Of The Green ValleyTexas Ranch HouseTudor MonasteryTudor Monastery Farm ChristmasTurn Back TimeVictorian FarmVictorian HouseVictorian PharmacyWartime FarmWartime Kitchen & GardenWW2 Home Front Briton On some of these if you type in the subject there will be a lot to choose from.Ancient Egypt 2015: The Alternative Story Of Mankind's OriginsDocumentary About Royal DiseasesI, ClaudiusLost Kingdoms Of…SiberiaSlum Futures" India South Asia The Black Death The Caesars The Dust BowlThe Great DepressionThe PallistersThe PlagueThe Way We Live Now I'm sure I missed some.

Homesteader Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Victorian Farm Christmas We're going to keep Mt_Rider out of trouble this winter with all these documentaries to watch. Quote Link to post
The WE2's Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 We were blessed with two tickets to go watch the preview of the next season (6) of Dowtain (sp?) Abby. PBS was having the previosu at our local Theatre (not a movie house....this has live plays etc.) and a friend had two tickets and wanted us to join them. Printed these out Jeeps. Some we've watched but some not :-) Having access to good stuff to watch is good, and we don't have cable tv etc. Quote Link to post
Jeepers Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I get Downton (sp) Abby at the library when each season comes out and watch it all at once. I do the same with Call The Midwife. I like that series too.Talk about poverty in the 50's East End of London. I just returned season 4. I'm waiting for season 5 and I read where season 6 will be made. I wonder, if shows that are put on a thumb/external drive, will you still need to use your internet connection? I'm thinking you would since most of them are on Youtube. Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I HAD NO IDEA.....that there were so MANY of these. I've not had TV for most of the past ...um, three decades, I guess. Long ago I saw a pioneer one....had a couple of families and a single man who was later joined by his fiance...and they filmed their pioneer wedding. Then she joined him. They were all in a contest to get ready for winter. One couple with her two children had a horse named Snowball and the girl LOVED that horse. That couple divorced sometime after doing that show tho. Heard the rich family downsized after doing the show. Have no idea the name of it but I so enjoyed watching the modern folks deal with pioneer realities. MtRider Quote Link to post
Homesteader Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I'm downloading them from the internet onto my computer. We'll move them over to an external hard drive soon. The youtube programs will not need internet connection, just some popcorn and hot chocolate. Quote Link to post
Sarah Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 The Victorian Farm refers to "The Book of the Farm", 1889. All six volumes are here at the Librum. Enjoy. Sarah. Quote Link to post
jeanettecentaur Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Getting started on 1900 House today. Thanks! Quote Link to post
moldy Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 There is also one called Edwardian Farm. Has the same folks as Wartime Farm and Victorian Farm. I really really like those - the 'actors' are actually educated historians (I can't really think of the right word, so historian will have to do), not 'reality' actors. Quote Link to post
Twilight Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The Last Brick Maker shows the making of bricks by hand talks aboutthe history. About 1 HR. 30 min Quote Link to post
Mt_Rider Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 My mom told me about that one. MtRider ...interesting. We've lost so many craftsman skills. Quote Link to post
The WE2's Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Started watching the Victorian Farm Christmas. May have seen it already, but watching it anyhoo! I love watching how things were done in the kitchen and garden by the "old timers" wherever they may be! Quote Link to post
Jeepers Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Mt Rider, I don't remember any of these being on TV. I've only seen them on Youtube. The one you are talking about SOUNDS like The Frontier House. Two of the 3 families ended up divorced. I don't know about how the newlyweds ended up. How do you download them from Youtube to your computer? I'd do that too and then transfer them to the external drive if I knew how. Quote Link to post
The WE2's Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think there's a "converter" program you can download so you can then import/dowload youtube videos. Just haven't ever done it because we have live youtube. Quote Link to post
Sarah Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Don't overlook the Wartime Kitchen and Garden series. Quote Link to post
The WE2's Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Watched them both. Lots of things people can learn. Quote Link to post
Sarah Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Umm... The Wartime Kitchen and Garden is a series, not two. I think you were also thinking of The Wartime Farm series. And while I like Ruth, and respect the research, there were some inaccuracies. But then again, there always will be with any reenactment. Sarah Quote Link to post
Homesteader Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I downloaded the majority of the list above for Mt_Rider. There were a few that I haven't seen yet. Maybe later in the wintertime when the snow is up to the windows. Then I'll have an excuse to stay home, drink hot chocolate and watch some programs. Quote Link to post
