Presenter What was day-to-day life like? Rachel Well, the family was woken up at 5.30 every morning by the film crew. The first thing they would do was light a fire. Presenter 5.30 is very early. Rachel Yes, it is, but simple tasks like making breakfast or getting dressed took a long time in the 1900s. Presenter And how did Mrs Bowler spend her day? Rachel She spent most of her time doing household chores, such as tidying the rooms, washing clothes and dusting. Everything was covered in coal dust from the fire. Once the chores were done, she would go to the shops to collect the groceries. Presenter What type of things were they able to buy? Rachel They could only buy things which were available in 1900. For example, the Victorians didn't have shampoo, they used eggs and lemon instead. However, once when Kathryn was shopping, she secretly bought a bottle - she said she couldn't stand having dirty hair! Presenter Did they experience any other problems? Rachel Yes, they did. While they were living in the house, we filmed them almost every day. At times they got self-conscious because everybody was watching them. |
