One family gets to have the ultimate adventure, traveling back in time from the Information Age to the Victorian Era. The series follows the Bowler family, hand-picked out of thousands of applicants, to live for three months inside a completely restored Victorian-era house. They are allowed no modern-day comforts, not even electricity (it was too expensive for a family of their class!). Watch as they do everyday tasks we take for granted: cooking, cleaning, even at-home entertainment, with the things they had available in 1900 Britain. "The 1900 House" is commonly referred to as Season One of PBS's "House" series. Others include Manor House, 1940s House, Colonial House, and Frontier House.

Épisode 1 - The Time Machine

12 juin 2000

In the first hour of the series, we watch how the idea of placing a modern-day family into life as a Victorian progressed. We mostly follow historian Daru Rooke in his search for the house the family will live in, and watch the house get converted from a rather haphazardly refurbished apartment back to its roots as a genuine Victorian house. Meanwhile, the producers at Channel Four Television begin their search to find the family who will live in the 1900 House for three months. We see some families who are really not suitable, some who don't quite fit the bill, and then one family who seems perfect: The Bowlers. The family consists of father and Royal Commando Paul, school inspector Joyce, older sister Kathryn, twins Ruth and Hilary, and youngest brother Joe. Constance Bowler, the oldest sister, did not participate in the series, and instead watched the family home during the filming. There are many problems in taking a house back in time, mainly health and safety issues. Technology--

Épisode 2 - A Rude Awakening

19 juin 2000

The Bowler Family spends their first week inside the 1900 House mainly getting frustrated at Victorian technology, and having spats with each other. The family's main issue is with the cooking range, which, despite restorer's best efforts, is still not producing any hot water for the upstairs bathroom. While the water is still ice cold, the blazing fires in the range make cooking a very precise hobby. Joyce's efforts at making her first Victorian meal result in undercooked pasta and scorched rhubarbs. Joyce has a spat with Paul about 'too many cooks spoiling the broth,' which in turn upsets youngest child Joe. The girls of the house, sisters Kathryn, Ruth and Hilary, are getting used to bedpans, pig-bristle toothbrushes and bicarbonate of soda toothpaste. The twins get to miss a day of school, but only to help Joyce with the demanding task of washing the laundry. Joe goes on a hunger strike, living off of the only two things he finds edible, bread and cheese. Paul, meanwhile, is doing

Épisode 3 - A Woman's Place

26 juin 2000

The women of the house find themselves restricted by society as well as their undergarments on Hour 3 of The 1900 House. Joyce has finally decided that spending all day cleaning up dust bunnies is not for her, so the family budgets part of their weekly allowance into hiring a maid, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, like the rest of the participants, must dress in 1900s attire, and she quickly finds the daily chores to be almost too much to handle. Oldest sister Kathryn is feeling increasingly agitated and bored. Normally, she goes out clubbing and has pizza with her friends. Now, she's relegated to a few forms of entertainment such as lectures, and piano lessons, which the family pays for. The lessons only make her more agitated. The twins, Ruth and Hilary, borrow a book, ""The Girl's Own Magazine,"" with breathtaking (term used loosely) articles on the Princess of Wales (1900, of course) milking cows. The girls set out on making their own version of the magazine, ordering a typewriter and Kodak Bro

Épisode 4 - The End of an Era

3 juillet 2000

The final hour of the series opens with the Bowler family sitting playing cards and reading the paper, their few means of entertainment. They decide to go out to a historical pageant in the entertainment district just outside Elliscombe Road. The energy provided from the outing convinces Joyce and Kathryn to audition for the revue. They learn that in 1900, girls in the theater equated to prostitution, but they err on the side of Women's Lib for this outing. Joyce has two problems: One, she's lost a crown on her tooth. She has the option of using the Dentist's office, 1900s style which includes a very primitive and painful drill, but she chooses the modern day equipment instead. Her other problem is the maid, Elizabeth, who has begun arriving later and later for work. Elizabeth is actually at the library today, researching maids in Victorian era Britain. Joyce decides to end Elizabeth's employment, but via the mail. Joyce and Kathryn perform the sketch and song they wrote in Episode 3 a
