Back In Time for The Corner Shop
The Arderns family time-travel in the latest of BBC2’s history series, Back in Time for the Corner Shop. Sara Cox and historian Polly Russell help the Sheffield family step back in time to run a traditional corner shop. They experiencing the highs and lows of life behind the counter through 100 years of shop keeping.
Most of us live near a corner shop and they’re usually jam-packed with confectionery, convenience food and booze. But in BBC2’s latest Back in Time for… series, Back in Time for the Corner Shop. Dad Dave, mum Jo, and their three children, Sam, Olivia, 16, and youngest son Ben, start in 1897, to a time long before fridges, tills or store cards. A time when a hearty meal meant a corned-mutton or Marmite-style broth! As time moves on, the pressure of being a shopkeeper in Victorian times builds, and the whole experience brings them closer as a family. As the series progresses, we get to see how devastating food shortages during World War One left shelves bare, while shopkeepers threw peace parties for locals to celebrate the end of the war.
The first episode is due to air on 25th February 2020 on BBC2 at 20:00GMT. You can read more about this amazing series, here on the BBC website. Read More….
