New series starting tonight....a group of people move into a recreated Victorian slum ...looks like it could be interesting ....I'm guessing it with follow a similar pattern to the Victorian Farm or 1940s House series . Anyone going to watch ?

It feels like I live in one already. 
I was going to, but I think I'll watch the butterfly programme on BBC4 and catch the slum on the iPlayer.
'ello Baz, I am watching......
I would have watched it, but I am watching a documentary by Reggie Yates about gun violence in Chicago.
Not exactly light, but a current topic and one I hope is interesting and gives me a further insight into the issues.
In the scheme of things it was not that long ago.......

Perhaps that is where the saying 'I could sleep on a clothesline' comes from......

Try living in a one bedroom flat with two brothers and mam and dad 
The trouble with this type of thing is that the people have the minds and lives/expectations of today, so their feelings will be different from the feelings of the people of the time......

Yes , but maybe it makes them appreciate how lucky we are nowadays ....even the poorest of us
Mam and dad in the back bedroom, me in the same. Malcolm and Philip on the bed settee in the front room, when they got up I moved into there for about an hour until I had to get up

No sadder or happier than the lonely rich kid in a large house and a 'Nanny' to look after them.......(I expect)
