BEN FOGLE'S 'ESCAPE IN TIME'
400 Company provided all the camera crews & equipment on Ben Fogle's great new BBC2 series based around the 'Victorian Farm' series but with the twist that families compete to be the most 'Victorian'. It was entirely shot at the Acton Scott Estate, we even hired our crews a holiday home close to the location for two months which saved production a huge amount of logistical problems and kept tight to the budget.
