I saw the last 15 minutes and thought it was very good and relates well to old style. I saw the bit about husband and wife both out at work so a cold fire to come home to and no cooked dinner till 8pm.

Watched the first episode now and it is well worth seeing. Thanks again Taplady;)

I watched it last year, must been shown earlier in Wales!

It's filmned in the ironworks in Blaenavon which is free to go to and well worth a visit, you can go in the cottages and everything

you're welcome Thrifty:) me and Mum were talking about it earlier and she remembers the codliver oil and malt extract they were given - she used to think it tasted lovely!:D

yeah Im welsh and watched it when screened here - its great - really funny! also took me back to my childhood in the fifties as things hadnt changed THAT much!!
I loved the teen who kept complaining she looked like a nana! couldnt decide if she meant like a grandma or a banana!
some feedback from welsh tv - a lot of the participants said they would now prefer the lifestyle! in some ways! would love them to do a follow up series with the participants - see if taking part in CHAW really did change them.

oooooooooohhhhhhhhh i remember malt extract - it was lovely!!!! cod liver oil was disgusting tho - think olive oil only sardine flavoured. i like fish but that was yeeeeeuuuuuuuuuuch.
