Had it on while concentrating on other things. Seemed ok. One of those programmes that get a modern familiy to role play and learn what it would have been like for them in a past time. Try bibblebub's link and see what you think.
I didn't really fancy watching it but gave it a go, I enjoyed it, especially when I found out that they allocated each house and lifestyle according to how wealthy (or otherwise) the real ancestor of each family were in life. Found it much more interesting than I expected. I would think it would be important to see the first episode if you can, to make it more enjoyable -rosy
I did see it - but was trying to find a repeat for a freind to see (doesn't have access to watch on line) I thought it was really good - but interesting to know what the refurbs of the 3 houses cost though (as they arefurd each episode I think)
i didn't watch but had read various reviews, and one interesting point came out, that the family who were classed as well to do, hated the time they spent, as most women didn't work, nor had much to do it seems, so time must have weighed heavily, and the father wasn't too impressed by all accounts. A totally different lifestyle for all classes back then.
I quite enjoyed it, not sure that a lot of it was "staged" though, it was just predictable that the rich family would get the poor house (even though they made the excuse about their family history being what it was) I'm looking forward to the 1960s episode!
