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.
