The ABC has just started screening The Edwardian Country House, in which modern people recreate life in a large luxury home of 1905.
The house includes all the modern conveniences of the day, as it really was built in 1905, with electric light, telephone and so forth.
It's interesting to see how both the 'owner' and the servants cope with Edwardian times. The scullery maid lasted just two days. The 'owner', in real life a well-to-do businessman, finds it hard to adjust to the formality. In coming episodes, all must cope with formal dinners and other social functions.
Tune in at 7-30 pm every Sunday.
