Can you help me with the name of a BBC TV series?

It was a history series about life and how we used to live a few hundred years ago - in Tudor times I think. In it a small group of people were sent to live in a house for a year with a bit of land. The house was equipped only with the items that would have been around in those times, and the only food they had to eat was home grown, using the farming equipment of the time. Even their clothes were of the period. I only saw one episode, in which the residents had to harvest wheat and go through the whole winnowing and grinding process before eventually making a loaf of bread. They also tended the (weak) beer which they brewed and drank instead of water because it was cleaner and safer. In the evening they sat around a large table and played simple games by candle-light.

The name of the series did not give much clue to the content. There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like the name of the farm, but I just can't find it in any search engine.

Update:

The last bit should read, "There was no "history of.." or "the way we were" or anything like that. I think it was a simple name, like the name of the farm, but I just can't find it in any search engine." Sorry about that.

Update 2:

Thanks, diddydinsdale, but it definitely wasn't that. I used to watch that at school, too and remember it well. This was more for adults.
