The Bowler family-parents Joyce and Paul, 17-year-old Kathryn, 11-year-old twins Hilary and Ruth, and 9-year-old Joe-move into a charming late-Victorian house in Greenwich, a suburb of London, England, to live for three months as a family in 1900 would have lived. While following their trials and tribulations, the four-part docu-soap demonstrates the radical changes in domestic life wrought by the scientific and technological innovations of the last 100 years.
