Great for GCSE syllabus B students - By: S. Connaughton, 17 Jan 2004
Having found a dirth of video footage for this period in history I was thrilled (and so were my pupils) with The Edwardian Country House. You do warm to the characters 'downstairs' & get a real feeling of the lives of domestic servants before 1914. We also found that we took a real dislike to the family 'upstairs' who played their parts extremely well.....maybe too well! The producers did a good job adding relevant important events into the series for example, the The birth of the Labour Party, Suffragettes & the start of the First World war.
The end of the series came too soon but a valuable insight has been given to this neglected area of British Social history.
Oustanding & Riveting - By: , 10 Jan 2004
We were fans of The 1940s House which we caught on PayTV & this promped us to search out other series of a similar nature. The online review said that this was the best of the Channel 4 series & after viewing it it would be hard to argue. Beautifully made & thought out with some real characters. You grow very fond of them alll (most of the time) & this is a series not to be missed. We are now eager to order The 1900 House.
