My History heartthrob is back!

[British Red]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2012/36/wartime-farm.html

In a new eight-part series, historian Ruth Goodman and archaeologists Alex Langlands and Peter Ginn take on their biggest challenge yet - to turn back the clock and run Manor Farm exactly as it would have been during the Second World War. They will face one of the biggest challenges ever seen in the history of the British countryside - what Churchill called ‘the frontline of freedom’.

Confirmed for Thursday 6 September on BBC Two at 8.00pm - 9.00pm

I saw her on more than one occasion walking to the Jolly Sailor at Bursledon, you missed your chance.
