Further back in time for dinner, episode 4
Episode 4, the 1930s. Fair warning, the 1930s and 1940s are my area of expertise. As a historical consultant I advice film, tv and museums on this era and consider myself obsessed with this era. So I may pay (even) more attention to all the little mistakes I spot. Sorry. Here we go, skip to…
Back in time for Brixton, episode 1
Skip to 0:50 if you don’t want spoilers! This show gives us an idea of what life was like for west Indian immigrants when came to the UK shortly after World War 2. So not only will the children experience what life was like without mobile phones and computers, but they will also learn what…
Further Back in Time for Dinner, episode 3
The 1920s! Skip the first 2 minutes to skip spoilers, reminders, etc. The house has had another update and unfortunately they don’t go int many details, just a few seconds of before and after shots. The decorators have gone for a rather modern 1920s interior, lots of Art Deco. Which is nice but wouldn’t have…
Further Back in Time for Dinner, episode 2

She’s made quite an impression. Skip the first 2 minutes if you don’t want to see previous bits and spoilers, 2 minutes…
Further Back in Time for Dinner, episode 1
There have been a few ‘Back in Time’ series, this makes number 5 on the big list. It saddened me that most of these shows took place in the post WW2 era so I was rather delighted to find out that this new show included the pre-WW2 years, just for me, I’m sure. Further back…
The Victorian Slum, episode 5
Here we are, the last episode of this series. I look forward to seeing how they’re going to end this show, probably by showing us first that things were getting better in the 1900s, hopefully also by hinting at the fact that quite a few of the men and boys living in our slums will…
The Victorian Slum, episode 4
Episode 4 of ‘The Victorian Slum’; the 1890s. Skip the first 2-3 minutes if you can remember further back than a week ago. The doss house is too empty too much of the time. I think that he would have had more customers than he could have handled if this really was Victorian times. So…
