Secrets of the Castle

the latest series about life in past times, following on from Tales from the Green valley, Victorian farm, Edwardian Farm etc. this time the team are sharing in the experiences of a team of French experts recreating a medieval castle. As usual, the indefatigable Ruth Goodman is there to show us how people did things, and as always she is enthusiastic. The loose medieval gown she wears is 'the most comfortable thing' she's ever worn, and rushes, she and her companions agree, make the floor of their modest home nice and warm. With tireless enthusiasm they take you through every aspect of medieval daily living and show in fascinating detail how a real castle was built. Like all the previous series, this one is packed with fascinating information, and like Ruth and the others, you will be sorry when it comes to an end.
