| Summary |
Turn Back Time: The Family tells the story of Britain's most valued institution: the family. Using a unique blend of living history and genealogy, three modern day British families are taken back in time to the 1900s before being fast-forwarded through almost one hundred years of family life.They will live just as they would have done in five key chapters of the 20th century. Street lamps and cars will change, as does the decor, furniture and technology in the three houses that will become their homes.There is a rude awakening for the Polo-playing Meadows family, who take on the role of being an Edwardian working-class family and must cope with the impact of poverty on their lives, as they and their two daughters adapt to a new role as breadwinners.The Taylor family live the lives of their ancestors as an upper-middle-class Edwardian household. Formality and etiquette mean the Taylor family must live very separate lives - and mum Adele struggles as her familiar role as wife and working mum is stripped away.Finally, the Golding family are desperately hanging on to their newly acquired social status as a middle-class family, but for dad Ian it is a chance to put his theories on the benefits of discipline into practice.Follow the conversation on Twitter #SBSdoco (From the UK) (Documentary Series) (Part 1 of 5) CC |
