Synopsis

World War Two was followed by food and farm staff shortages. The Ministry of Agriculture commissioned a series of adverts to encourage the public to ‘lend a hand on the land’. This advert stars comic Richard Massingham, who appeared in many other public information films, as a man who escapes the hustle and bustle of London life to volunteer in a farm and returning feeling revitalised.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
