Synopsis
Investigating the deadly consequences of ordinary Victorian, Edwardian and Tudor lives

 Today everything around us, from what we eat to what we sit on, has been meticulously designed and tested to ensure that it is safe and sound, but this hasn’t always been the case.

The innovators of yesteryear were history’s ‘guinea pigs’, pioneering the untested and the untried aspects of domestic life that we take for granted today. Presented by historian Dr Suzannah Lipscomb, this series explores the hidden perils that lurked in Tudor, Victorian and Edwardian homes. Using scientific experiments, expert guidance and thorough research, Suzannah explores the dangers inherent in everyday life.
