Found this on youtube. A BBC series from 1978 about trying to live in the Iron Age. This was a kind of "Where are they now" show.

"It was good and earthy Smile "
And full of whining hippies.
I remember it first time as well, as an experiment it fell foul to the lack of real experience of the people undertaking it. Eg, the young woman who claimed that they could not have reaped corn with sickles because it took
her ages and hurt
her arm.
But interesting in how social groups interact with a preconception or two thrown in.

Yes and children still think that milk and eggs come from supermarkets
I think there are a few hippies on here too
I had a friend, he used to say, 'I'm no Hippie, I like violence' !
