If Walls Could Talk
Dr Lucy Worsley, chief curator of the Royal Historic Palaces, presents a new series for BBC Four exploring how homes have evolved into what they are today – and how our relationship with them has changed over time.
If Walls Could Talk, tells the story of British domestic life from the Middle Ages to the present day through four rooms – the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom and the lounge – Lucy examines ever-shifting attitudes to privacy, class, cleanliness and technology.
She recreates a range of domestic experiences, from attempting to do a Tudor laundry to cooking and eating a meal in a medieval crofter’s cottage. Featuring interviews with a range of specialist historians, curators and living history experts, If Walls Could Talk will change the way you look at your home forever.
I love learning about how people lived in the past, especially in Medieval and Tudor England. I particularly enjoy hearing about how the everyday mundane tasks were undertaken so I think this show sounds great.
