A four-part "docu-soap" transplants a modern British family from 1999 to 1900, as the Bowlers--Joyce and Paul, and four of their five children--are taken back to turn-of-the-century life in a London suburb. For three months, the Bowlers live in a late-Victorian terraced house on Elliscombe Road, Greenwich, wearing period clothing and dealing with the absence of a century of scientific and technological innovations.
