Great, I love it.

I have enjoyed every series. Fascinating stories about the people who lived in the houses. David Olusoga (hope that's the correct spelling) is the perfect presenter too.

David meets the residents of two apartment blocks in London and Berlin. From the ashes of World War I, the Nazi Party emerges, putting some of the families in terrible danger.

This really is good news. I've enjoyed all the episodes. They are presented in a very calming way. There is so much violence, often graphical, and rudeness in many other programmes in my opinion.

Something else to look forward to now the dark nights are coming!

Love this series and love the presenter David Olusoga's voice, it's so gentle and calming, I could easily fall asleep listening to him 😉

Always a pleasure to watch, both interesting and educational at the same time.

I agree that a 'A house through time' interesting but I do find the gentleman presenter a little bit pretentious & earnest, so I don't watch anymore. 🤔

He's a Professor of History, so is bound to take his subject seriously.

I like the way he links the residents of the house to national and world affairs of the day, as well as finding human interest stories. As with any of these things (eg Who Do You Think You Are?) much depends on what sort of documentation has been left behind. I often wonder what future historians will find out about us, now that so much is stored on social media and less in phot albums and diaries.

Future generations will find us fascinating - a multitude of digital photos of our lunches!

I really enjoy the wonderful research that goes into this series and the calm, measured way it is presented by David Olusoga..an academic in his own right

Yes, that’s my suspicion too 😂
