BBC seeks family to go back to the future
Above: BBC seeks Surrey family for new show
The search is on to find a family to travel back to the dawn of the digital age that was 1970 for a new television series. The programmes will look at the impact that technology has had on family life over the past 40 years. The makers of
Edwardian Country House,
Who Do You Think You Are? and
New Tricks are looking for a family to take part in a unique living history experience for BBC FOUR.
The three part series will take a modern British family back to the 1970s and then fast forward them through the domestic technological revolution of the 1980s and the 1990s… right up to the present day.
In the 1970s the family will experience life without the technology we’ve begun to take for granted; they’ll live a seventies life in a seventies house without Sky +, Facebook and the Wii, the 1980s will bring ever-advancing computers and changes in the kitchen that promised to make life easier and the 90s will see even more change within the home. Once the family have navigated their way through ‘90s life they’ll be transported through the Noughties and arrive back in the here and now. We’ll ask what lessons they’ve learnt regarding the role of technology in family life and their attitude to the transformation of their home since 1970.
The series will chart the technological revolution of the past 40 years and assess the impact these changes have had on an everyday British family. By the end of the experiment, the family will have experienced almost 40 years of technological change in a short space of time; they’ll have an unparalleled insight into how much our lives, homes and relationships have been influenced by technology.
Are you a home-owning family with at least three children between the ages of eight and eighteen? Are you keen to show your children how much life has changed since your childhood? Are you interested in modern history and how technology has transformed the family home? Or maybe you’re looking for a challenging but rewarding nostalgia trip?
