synopsis

This reality show makes it possible for a British four-member family to travel in time and experience a different decade each week through “the life of one household” (starting with the 1950s and ending with a fictional future). This entertaining socio-cultural experiment moves smoothly between topics like fashion, technology, and politics, and even covers “what vacuum cleaners meant for women, and mortgages for the middle-class”.

biography

Wall to Wall Media Limited focuses on a wide variety of television productions, ranging from scientific programs and dramatic series to successful feature-length documentaries. For example, their Man on Wire (2008) won both a BAFTA as well as an Oscar in the documentary film category.
