Alex Langlands, archaeologist and historian, has recently completed a year working as a Victorian Farmer in BBC Two's The Victorian Farm (6 x 1hr) scheduled for transmission in January 2009.

The Victorian Farm follows Alex and team for a full calender year exploring rural life in the Victorian Era. The series builds on the success of BBC Two's Tales from the Green Valley based on a farm set in AD 1620.

Currently studying for a PhD, Alex has worked on archaeological sites throughout Europe, has a keen interest in rural crafts and runs a number of archaeology and local history courses.
