00:00things out and we're relying on them and they should understand that if they didn't grow up
00:08they didn't just grow up then you don't know what we're gonna do
00:13meet the bowler family royal marine paul school inspector joyce 11 year old twins ruth and hillary
00:25catherine 16 and nine-year-old joe they volunteered to go back in time to wash
00:33dress eat and live every intimate detail of domestic life in the 1900 house
00:40a spring morning in elliscombe road greenwich where electric cattle simmer boilers ignite
00:57and fridge doors shut on cartons of milk which will still be fresh next wednesday
01:03but not at number 50
01:09age 15 and the bowler family wake up to the first full day of their new life
01:23as an ordinary family of 1900
01:26paul's first triumph keeping the kitchen range burning through the night
01:35from now on it's the family's only boiler cooker kettle and here's my first piece of toast
01:43done um in the 1900 house on the fire on the range
01:48tubes of toothpaste had just arrived in 1900 but no ordinary family could afford them
01:58they had a choice of salt or neat bicarbonate of soda
02:03applied with a hog bristle brush
02:07oh my god
02:08oh my god
02:12that's disgusting
02:16that was foul
02:20home shopping was big in 1900
02:25there was a constant stream of traders selling door to door
02:29but in those days no one would have answered in their dressing gown
02:38oh good morning
02:40understanding just moved into the area local baker
02:42hello
02:43terry ayres has loaves made to the same recipe and delivered in the same basket once used by his great grandfather
02:51the price of a loaf one old penny
02:54local tradesmen have been selected to supply the bowlers with fresh food
03:01but they're only allowed to sell produce available in 1900
03:05i'll have the bread pudding please
03:07bread pudding
03:07yeah and the scum round
03:09lovely
03:10i'll give you a bill at the end of the week
03:12all right then thank you very much
03:13bye
03:13it's okay breakfast time what are we going to have this morning
03:19um we haven't got any milk i'm afraid the milk turned into a bit of a yoghurt overnight
03:23before paul goes back to work and the children start at local schools
03:27they're taking a few days off to adjust to their new life
03:31do i need a shower
03:35well you probably do need one darling but you can't have one
03:38because we haven't got one
03:41um you can't have a bath either
03:46because we can't get enough hot water yet for about
03:48oh yeah but you can stand up like
03:50like we've all done take all your clothes off and have a strip wash in the bathroom
03:53do you fancy that
03:54i think i'm getting a bit stressed out about heat and hot water because the amount of heat that this is kicking out you know i should be having at least three baths a day off the heating system
04:05yeah i would have thought so but it's just not heating it up so there must be
04:10managing the range is an art the bowlers have yet to master
04:14if it's not raked thoroughly every 20 minutes ash forms a barrier stopping heat getting through to the boiler
04:20should be going up into the bathroom
04:22no the pipe's cold
04:25barely warm
04:27hot water situation is a bit of a catastrophe at the moment the prospect of not having baths is not something odd to think about really i really really need a bath
04:41for the first time joyce must squeeze unassisted into her whalebone corset
04:48get the better of this if it kills me
04:54in an age when women were generally flatter chested corsets bolstered the bosom up and nipped the waist in
05:02petticoat number one
05:04whilst two petticoats padded out the bottom
05:08oh god
05:10i thought so much effort goes into just getting dressed
05:15oh yuck
05:17smells not i'm not looking at it it smells
05:29in it goes
05:31that's lovely
05:38that's all good
05:39the safety razor wasn't invented till 1901
05:44Paul's only option a cut throat
05:53Paul's having a shave and he's obviously having a really bad time
06:02i don't think the blade's sharp enough or it's too sharp i don't know i think he's cutting his face off
06:08it's scary isn't it you've been in there ages
06:19it's uh taking longer than i expected
06:21is it really sharp
06:23extremely sharp extremely sharp
06:25right so i'm not going to be using it then for legs and armpits
06:30i'm just going to have to get hairier and hairier
06:33oh god
06:36to add to the complications of 1900 life tomorrow is joyce's birthday the children are planning a surprise
06:43it's going to have 1900 house
06:45joyce bowler
06:47her date of birth
06:481855
06:49we've put it on it
06:50brilliant
06:51and then i'm going to put
06:52love kathleen brother
06:53a hundred years ago ordinary families were only just beginning to celebrate birthdays
07:00even then there were no gifts for men
07:02but women and children received small handmade presents
07:06oh that's lovely
07:09so i don't have to do all strength
07:11yeah
07:12is that
07:13i didn't know what to do for mum's birthday
07:15like i never made her anything before in my life and we didn't have anything in the house
07:18our first idea was to sort of go into a room she hadn't been in and nix something from the room
07:23and then give it to her
07:25um but then i thought no i can't really do that
07:28and so i decided i'd embroider one of her hankies and i think it was a bit of a disaster because i can't sew
07:34the family's only means of communication the post
07:43and just as in 1900 they'll have three collections and three deliveries daily
07:49the price of a stamp a penny
07:54a letter from my friend mike
07:56paul receives word of a surprise he's planning for joyce's birthday
08:01he's found a man that sells dark breeds of chickens so that would be suitable for your environment
08:08excellent
08:10fred hams is britain's number one expert on the breeding of antique poultry
08:19in the suburbs of london at the turn of the century poultry keeping became very popular partly because eggs were relatively expensive
08:27one of the varieties that were thought to be particularly suitable for urban living was the black orpington
08:36you have to remember that london was coal-fired at that time and they were very dirty
08:41and if nothing else these didn't show the dirt
08:44they were very dirty
08:46Joyce has always wanted some chickens and i can actually see her in the garden collecting the eggs and then using the eggs in the house
08:51and i think it would be quite sweet and we could actually sort of achieve that for her
08:56he's raised to have a cockerel sent down with the chickens so we have a chance to hatch out
09:01or even he says maybe a tasty sunday dinner
09:04i've been vegetarian for years i allow the rest of the family to eat what they want when they're outside
09:11but they know that when they come home they're not going to get meat in any shape or form
09:16i think it would be interesting to take this modern family with all our knowledge back
09:23and see if we can keep to our 1999 diet or whether we find that because we're working harder we do need some heavier stodgier food
09:36in 1900 vegetarians did exist but were considered highly eccentric punch magazine called them turnip heads
09:44cooking slowly but it does say root vegetables should be cooked slowly with the lid on so i'm doing it properly
09:52good morning good morning madam i understand you're new to the area
09:58yes we are i'm the local butcher i wonder whether we could interest you in our products
10:03can i have a look and see what you've got
10:06such was the demand for meat in 1900 there were four busy slaughterhouses one blood boiler for saveloys
10:14one fat melter for lard and nine gut scrapers for sausage skins
10:19all within smelling distance of 50 elliscombe road
10:23yes i think i'll have some sausages today
10:25despite her reservations joyce makes a concession to her 1900 lifestyle
10:31um ten sausages certainly please
10:35poor man
10:37how could i say it looked disgusting
10:41thank you for showing me all your dead animals
10:43i did buy some sausages
10:45is that real food is it
10:47it is it's meat
10:49it's meat
10:50you will eat tonight dear
10:51this is bowler
10:53a new family that moved into charlton
10:55they've just bought ten sausages
10:57i understand they're vegetarian
10:58they're not going to last a week on a diet of that
11:01in victorian times you couldn't afford to be a vegetarian
11:05meat was a staple diet all the time
11:08you know you had stews you had casseroles
11:11you had beef broth when you were ill
11:13or beef tea you know
11:15how are they going to survive on just vegetables
11:17to me it's just laughable
11:23joyce is not entirely dependent on local tradesmen for food
11:26her larder is stocked with dry goods that were available in 1900
11:30and when these run out
11:32they can be topped up on account at the local co-op
11:38many products carry the same brand designs to this day
11:41and a hundred years ago
11:43tinned fruit was the height of culinary fashion
11:46while joyce goes to check out the co-op
11:52the girl sees their chance to make her birthday cake
11:55cakes making the baking of flour, sugar, butter, currants
11:59and four egg whites
12:02we only have three eggs
12:04because in the book it says four egg yolks
12:07we only have three eggs
12:09yes
12:10i'll be out directly
12:11okay
12:12yeah
12:13we'll slow down
12:14factory made cakes were available and cheap
12:16but the girls attempt a homemade sponge
12:18made to a real victorian recipe
12:20i had to make a birthday cake for mum
12:24and it's gone very well so far
12:26it's in the range at the moment
12:27i don't know if it's the right temperature
12:29we better check the cake now
12:30it's been half an hour
12:31it's hot enough
12:32cooking in an oven with no temperature controls
12:35takes some getting used to
12:36oh
12:37oh
12:38oh
12:39it's rising
12:40it's rising
12:41a bit more time
12:42a bit more time
12:43i think the cake
12:44the cake is a really big failure
12:47sadly the oven just wasn't hot enough
12:49i wanted it to be a lovely cake
12:53it smells like a cake
12:54but remember it just doesn't look like one
12:56sorry joyce
12:58good morning it's my birthday
13:10i'm 44
13:12happy birthday

13:38and she loved them
13:39yeah
13:40Joyce's birthday is off to a good start
13:42till paul makes a tactical error
13:47with no fridge
13:48he's forced to cook the sausages
13:50before they go off
13:52seeing meat for mum isn't a very pleasant experience
13:58she hates the smell of it
13:59it makes it feel sick
14:00and sort of faints of the sight of meat
14:08Joyce has already ripped her trailing skirt
14:10time to tackle the 1900s Singer sewing machine
14:13ah

14:33just
14:34i don't know why

14:36but everything
14:37do you know everything takes three times as long
14:38like the cooking and everything
14:39well it's just
14:40a simple thing
14:41like threading a needle
14:42or

15:14why did you do that
15:15i thought i got the timing right

15:32getting upset over little things
15:34just leave well alone
15:36yes all right
15:37i'm sorry

16:24delicious
16:26it's lovely though
16:28it is lovely actually right
16:30delicious
16:32Joe i'm getting a bit worried about you
16:35you haven't eaten anything for a very long time
16:37the hob wasn't hot enough to cook the macaroni but now it's scorching
16:48Joyce's carefully prepared compote of rhubarb has stuck to the pan and burned
16:53smelly
16:54what is it
16:55why didn't you just stir it
16:57that's spiteful
17:00what's up
17:01what's up
17:02what's up
17:07where did you go
17:08three rising days
17:12right i'm siting that way and i'm not coming back in
17:20I'm really crossing myself it wasn't I knew it was going to be tough and I knew it wasn't supposed
17:41to be so quickly I thought I was going to be much better than this I really wanted to make
17:48do this properly I really wanted to make it a success and I've got Joe sitting there and he
17:53won't eat anything so he's going to starve to death Paul shouts when people don't when Joe
17:59doesn't eat all the children don't like it when Paul shouts I have a go at him he has a go at me
18:04we're all sat around the table all on top of each other I've produced something I wouldn't give to
18:08a pig all right Joe all right have you eaten something now what have you had to eat you've
18:18just said bread and cheese this child's been living on bread and cheese probably scaring the neighbors
18:26so while Joyce goes out to cool off the twins attempt to rescue the birthday cake with Mrs.
18:43Beaton's chocolate icing yes it is awful everything's going wrong I didn't think it would be like this
18:50so I didn't think mum would break down oh it's just not it's not breaking out but it's not brilliant
18:58anymore really also um dad as well dad's uh he's just he's got so bossy this is just getting on top
19:07of him it's really getting on top of him the chickens Paul ordered for Joyce's birthday have arrived
19:15but they need a safe place to live I think I'm just full into a pile of poo Joe just give us that
19:23Paul must build a hen house and it must be fox proof although in 1900 foxes weren't a problem in
19:33towns perhaps the most important supplier to the bowlers will be the greengrocer Charlie Judd
19:44Joyce can't have everything in the shop she's limited to English springtime produce and fruit
19:50imported from the Empire in refrigerated steamships today's Jewish you can have your beetroot the
19:57cabbages carrots watercress your onions and swede and the cauliflower is one of my father yeah going
20:07around the streets he progressed from a pram to a donkey and barra to awesome car he must have been the
20:13businesses yeah decorations on that horse that's how they went out you know I mean but the other
20:19night time never go around the streets and they will be seeing peas and potatoes calling out where
20:24you know just all they saw was and all the old girls who come out with their they're pretty about
20:29big aprons pinifors yeah and they would have it all shot in their lap it looks a fine sight I think
20:34at least he's sobering that picture just to come down the street we've got to get to come down the
20:54street there we go quite right I need to give you my birthday
21:23present
21:24step down now
21:27okay go right go right there
21:30a little bit more
21:32how long did you get up?
21:36I'm not looking
21:36keep going
21:37keep your eyes closed
21:39I am I'm sorry
21:40you're going to step up
21:41I'm not my dear
21:42open your eyes
21:43ready
21:43chickens
21:44chickens
21:45chickens
21:47chickens
21:48chickens
21:49chickens
21:50no my god you've been busy
21:56you've done the
21:57oh that was so horrible to you this
21:58oh I love them
22:03come here come here let me pick you up
22:05yeah
22:05yeah mum
22:06the chickens were fantastic because dad worked so hard on the chicken house
22:11mum was very proud of him and we all were with joe as well that you know he managed to keep this all secret
22:16it's all right it's all right
22:18you can call him mcdonald mum and we can eat her after we've finished
22:21no
22:22I think I'll name him after the greengrocer because he's he's so nice
22:27so he's charlie
22:28maybe he doesn't mind
22:29never mind
22:30charlie
22:31that's the cockerel
22:32she's all right
22:33she's a good lamb
22:37look at their little beady eyes
22:41I'm only 11 and I've got more things to come
22:47but to do this now is fantastic
22:50close your eyes
22:52it's the best thing that's ever happened
22:55to me
22:57I love it
23:00oh lovely
23:03oh isn't it beautiful
23:06wow
23:06I think we are more of a family together now because
23:11in 1999 you could go off and do things whereas we have to work as a team now
23:17oh so if you have left over porridge shall eat that
23:19we didn't realise our children were quite this confident or this resourceful
23:24I've just seen them in a completely different light
23:27and I think they're going to grow up a lot in the three months
23:30I think I might have to grow up a bit as well
23:34next week on the 1900 house
23:49now
23:50it's confession time
23:52contraband at the co-op
23:54I haven't ever smuggled things through customs but I think it will be very similar feeling
23:59the bowlers discover the one thing they can't live without
