Peter si Tom trebuie sa construiasac un adapost pentru porci si sa are pamintul cu carul cu boi pentru The first episode finds the farm team arriving at Weald & Downland in West Sussex. There are domestic tasks to tackle, from lighting fires with flint, making meals with depleted crops during the Hunger Gap and using a tread wheel to fetch water from the well. Peter and Tom's first job is to move the sheep to fresh grass. Wool at this time was known as 'the jewel in the realm', because it generated much of the nation's wealth.
Ruth makes a tallow light out of rushes and sheep fat - it will provide the only source of light outside of daylight hours. And to equip the kitchen, she visits Robin Wood, one of the few men in Britain who can transform a log into a wooden bowl. She tackles making the favourite Tudor dish of Pottage and performs the ritual of laying the table, an act full of Christian symbolism.
Tudor pig breeds were large, wild and often dangerous animals and monasteries forbade pigs to run free, so Peter and Tom set about building a pig house, without nails! Peter and Tom must also master a new skill; ploughing with Oxen. These creatures, neutered cattle, had traditionally been preferred to horses. Today, there are no working Oxen left in Britain, so Peter and Tom hope to do the job by breaking in a pair of cows!
