Audition for New BBC 'Time Travel' programme
The BBC has launched a search to find lively families to travel back to the 1870s to experience the birth of the British High Street!
Are you a butcher, baker or grocer who is fascinated by the history of your trade?
Can you imagine taking your work and your family back to the glory days of the High Street?
Could you show modern customers what good old-fashioned service really means?
Would you like to explore the techniques, technology and opening hours of the past?
The search is on to find lively families to travel back to the 1870s to experience the birth of the British High Street. You'll be setting up in an existing parade of shops, completely fitted out as they would have been in Victorian Britain with each family running their shop as authentically as possible. Shopkeepers will then be fast forwarded through a century of change with families running their shops as if living in six different eras of history between 1870 and 1970.
