Although not the poor, as we found out last week they could not afford sugar so had to eat fruit and veg.

Yes, it's really good.
We could do with more shows like this which bring history to life.
We do have the two other programmes where they live as they did in bygone times.

Last week showed us two sets of teeth. One was pre-sugar and the other after the introduction of sugar. There was quite a difference.

Last week they showed a skull of a pre sugar era person and a post sugar era one ....the difference was astounding

They call it 'facing and presenting'
Ever seen that film, Sleeping With The Enemy?
Cheap sweets for the masses, that is where it all went wrong..............

No, but the soundtrack is by Jerry Goldsmith and I intend to buy it.

Bumping for tonight - the last of thise short series - "A Victorian Treat" when sweets became mass produced. The four confectioners are preparing sweets for their Victorian sweetshop. Small confectioners trying to compete with the likes of Rowntrees, Frys and Cadburys. Not wholly restricted to the Victorian era as the more sombe side of the programme is the reading of letters from the trenches in WW1.

Thanks El Loro ....I'm really enjoying the series ...pity it's only 4 episodes long 
In tonight's episode it mentions the first animated advert which was for a Rowntree bar.
I don't know if they mean the first animated one which had synchronised sound which was made in 1929. If you want to see this (it's 6 minutes long) you can watch it via:

Right at the end of that advert a man reads out the credits. He's not identified but the thought did cross my mind that it sounded a bit like Alfred Hitchcock. There is a possibility that it was him as the advert was made in the same year as Blackmail which was directed by him and was the first British sound film.

It has been a really good series, I'll be sad to see it end tonight.
