PICTURES: Cheers! Times have changed for Kirstie Alley as she gets her hands dirty at Shugborough Estate
Some of the most well-known names in television and sport will be seen going back in time and getting their hands dirty in Staffordshire this weekend.
The picturesque setting of Shugborough Estate will take a starring role in Channel 4's Time Crashers programme, which is on a 8pm tomorrow.
The show puts 10 celebrities under the spotlight by asking them to undertake tasks in various moments in history – and tomorrow it's the turn of Shugborough Estate's Georgian Farm.
The celebrities – including American actress and former Cheers star Kirstie Alley, TV host Fern Britton and Olympic long jumper Greg Rutherford – spent a busy few days in March being 'crashed' into various time zones in appropriate costumes.
The fourth show of the series sees the celebrities enter a Georgian farm locked in a 1795 time capsule, where they are told to wash pigs, shepherd sheep, feed lambs, muck-out yards, milk goats, make cheese and bake bread.
The other celebrities are Meg Matthews, Louise Minchin, Olympic weightlifter Zoe Smith, Keith Allen, footballer Jermaine Jenas, Coronation Street's Charlie Condou and comedian Chris Ramsey.
Presented by Tony Robinson and history expert Dr Cassie Newland, the episode will also star Gareth Wynn Jones of TV's The Hill Farmer fame, and Shugborough's own Dinah Mann who plays his wife.
Other episodes feature the celebrities in an Edwardian stately home in 1913, taking on the role of male squires in 1468 and being servants in a great manor house in 1588.
There are six episodes in the immersive history series.
