Almost everything around us - from the food we eat to the furniture we sit on - has been meticulously designed and tested to ensure it is safe. However, in Victorian and Edwardian times, the early adopters of new products, trends, and technologies were history's unintentional guinea pigs - pioneering the untested and the untried aspects of domestic life we take for granted today. Presented by historian Dr. Suzannah Lipscomb (Henry And Anne: The Lovers Who Changed History; Hidden Killers of the Tudor Home), the four-part series HIDDEN KILLERS utilizes scientific experiments, expert guidance and thorough research to explore the unseen household perils of yesteryear.
