    just watched on- demand on virgin! I think its a great show as unlike al the reailty shows they just are focusing on conflict when this is peoples own experience. I hear they are doing a new one set in war time cant' wait!!
    caught the show when it was repeated on bbc3!

    I love programmes like this .I would love the oppertunity to take part in something like that without the tv element!! I love the 30s 40s clothes and the men always looked so charming in there suits and hats but of course its about much more than that...... I wonder if they are going to show it through the bbc iplayer if its just in wales?

    I almost applied to go on that but although hubby wanted to do it, my sons didn't!

    I'm looking forward to watching it.

    Has anyone been watching the second series of coalhouse? It's excellent!

    It's currently being broadcast on BBC One Wales (although you can also see it on the website below, which I am doing as I don't live in Wales)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/coalhouse2/programmes/

    I can't believe it's not being broadcast on national telly:confused: I reckon it would be really popular as it's a reality show kind of along the same lines as the 1940s house and 1900 house shown on Channel 4 a while back :-)
