The Ashby-Hawkins family give up their 21st century technology and travel back in time to discover the radical transformation of our leisure time since 1950. Guided by presenter Giles Coren and social historian Polly Russell, the family’s experience is underpinned by The Family Expenditure Survey, a government study which ran from the 1950s through to 1999.
In each episode, the family have to come to terms with all the washing, cooking and cleaning expected of a time long forgotten.
