Turn Back Time: The High Street (BBC-1 2010)

Published

on


A series of high ambitions Turn Back Time: The High Street is a fabulous idea returning a quartet of modern shops on a high street in Shepton Mallet, Somerset to six earlier eras to experience what life for the average shopper used to be like before our fast food, pre-packed, preservative heavy Pandora’s Box of a shopping experience we have today.

The first era is the 1870’s and by the end we have moved on to the 1970’s, a hundred years later, it’s part social commentary and part reality TV show, all of the shop keepers take things very seriously and have their own Chamber of Commerce (led by Masterchef judge Gregg Wallace, Tom Herbert and Juliet Gardiner) to ensure that the protocols of the day are correctly followed.

The families also had to live and dress like the families of the eras involved and in total there were seven different shops involved; The Butchers, The Bakers, The Ironmongers, The Chemist, The Dress Maker, The Record Shop and The Convenience Store Owners.

Producer: Cate Hall
Executive Producers: Leanne Klein, Cassian Harrison
