Looks like the new series is coming soon. Set in Bristol this time. Should be fascinating as usual. I'm always so disappointed when each episode ends as the time flies when watching this. And there's David Olusoga. Oo.

Will really look fwd to this, thanks so much for posting - which channel, please?

Jane10 Fri 08-May-20 10:18:44

I think it's BBC2. Starting towards the end of May.

Thank you for flagging this up. It is a lovely gentle informative programme.

Squiffy Fri 08-May-20 11:10:52

Thanks Jane10, I love these programmes smile

MissTree Fri 08-May-20 11:15:38

I don’t think I know this programme but it sounds like my sort of thing. Thanks for the heads up , Jane.

I am soooo looking forward to this as the last series was great as I knew the house in Newcastle. My aunt Mary and uncle Jim used to live near to it and it is a lovely area set so near to the hustle and bustle of the city.

MissTree you're in for a treat. Can you find the 2 previous series? One was in Newcastle and one in Liverpool

I'm sure we'll all be watching with much interest - it's the houses of course! grin

Thanks for flagging this up Jane10, I really enjoyed the last series set in Liverpool. Any idea when its due to air?

Jane10 Fri 08-May-20 11:57:19

End of May apparently. I'll be looking out for it and am sure it will be promoted by BBC as its so popular.

Jane43 Fri 08-May-20 12:18:51

The last one I watched was very interesting so I will be looking out for this.

Good news. Himself and I love this

Suki70 Fri 08-May-20 20:32:33

Thank you for mentioning this Jane10, we love these programmes and as you say, David Olusoga - oo!

After Newcastle and Liverpool, I was hoping that they would do another. Interesting that they have chosen places around the country and not immediately gone for London. Hope this theme continues - with same presenter of course!

Great to hear there’s a new series coming, I loved those programmes, so interesting.

SueDonim Sun 10-May-20 12:08:07

Ooh, good! I’ll look forward to this.

Jane10 Tue 26-May-20 13:16:26

It's on tonight! Hooray ?

Suki70 Tue 26-May-20 14:47:49

Yes, tonight, BBC2 9pm. I'm really looking forward to it.

It’s a really good series, brings social history to life doesn’t it?
Some very sad stories though.
The presenter is easy on the eye tooblush

Toadinthehole Wed 27-May-20 10:17:21

We taped it, wasn’t sure if it was a repeat. Is it the third series then, because we’ve seen two? Enjoy them very much.

Grandma70s Wed 27-May-20 10:28:22

There seemed more nasty/sad stories than usual last night. I think port cities like Liverpool and Bristol usually have interesting tales to tell.

I really don’t get the swooning over the presenter. He seems to be a very odd shape! Also too bristly for my taste.

Curlywhirly Wed 27-May-20 10:36:02

Love this programme; can't say the presenter does it for me, but oh, his voice, I could listen to him all day long!

LadyGracie Wed 27-May-20 11:53:41

I didn’t really enjoy the programme last night, the last two series were fascinating, he seems to have gone off at a tangent with this one so far.

The presenter does nothing for me, he looks like he could do with a good wash and has a nasty habit of looking at the floor when he’s speaking. But I agree, nice voice!

Jane10 Wed 27-May-20 12:37:17

He is looking the worse for wear I admit but I still like him. The sockless look was off putting though. Don't understand why people do that.
His special interest is in slavery and he's written books and made programmes about it. Maybe it'll become a bit more to life as the house moves into the 19th century.
