Me too! It's so odd - does he have a broken nose or is it cosmetic - tbh it's very distracting

It's a series!
And yes. What was going on with his nose? He has either recently broken it or he's had a nose-job. Very odd.

I'm loving it so far! Also glad to see my favourites seem to be coming out on top and that I'm not the only one who has noticed Tyger's face!

It's all Victorian period just different jobs. Plus what you see is really what went on as in they did really wear the old smelly clothes, sleep on the floor and have no mobile phones etc.

So who do do we think is going to 'win'?

She was wasn't she! Looks like she's going to be worse next week! The others were great though!

I just caught up on the first two episodes- really enjoyed them. Anne was incredibly annoying. And so was Zoe with her crying over gutting a bloody fish. I also really didn't like how they refused to do things- that really shouldn't be allowed to happen, as I doubt that Victorians got to refuse jobs very often.

Do you know whether all the other people were actors, or do they actually live like that? They seemed to know a lot about how to do everything and how things used to be done.

I'm just waiting for Anne to rebel and start a revolution and by the end of the series to have completely changed her political allegiances Grin

What do you mean by 'live like that', do you mean re-enactors? I think they're probably a mixture of people who do that plus subject matter experts such as the Head Ostler in the last episode, he was a horse expert. I assume you recognise Ruth from all the other programmes she's done? She's kind of Queen Re-enactor.

I mean live day-to day in Victorian era only in the 21st century. I thought that Ruth looked familiar. But I guess all the people were there simply as re-enacterers. Do you know where they filmed? Was it a studio with Victorian sets?

ProfYaffle · 08/05/2015 16:00

Well, obviously no-one can make a living from living as a Victorian. Some people have hobbies being re-enactors from various eras. I don't know where it was filmed but there are a few places like Beamish where it could be.

Two of the locations are National Trust properties, from looking at their website:

New Inn at Stowe in Buckinghamshire
The Workhouse in Nottinghamshire.

They were real locations and the 'other' people were indeed a mix of experts, ordinary people and re-enactors.

There were lots of good bits that didn't get shown, (was edited to make good tv of course) and what you see on TV Is what you get. The celebrities' 'scrub' between locations was a cold water Victorian style scrub, not a shower and they (or at least one of them) apparently stunk to high heaven by the end of the experience.

If anyone is really really desperate to know the locations I may or may not be able to get them from my 'source'. (An acquaintance/friend of mine - as in not quite close enough to them to firmly call them a friend but too close to call an acquaintance. )

Stowe is lovely, we visit a lot. National Trust property, rally worth a is it but take your walking shoes! We were there when they were filming.
