Back In Time For Dinner

The bbc2 series looking back on how we lived (and ate) back in the 50s 60s 70s and 80s has been fun and interesting. Does anyone know where it was filmed. It looks like a street I used to deliver to in acton or chiswick

We bought my dad an electric knife years ago and he still uses it for carving. I remember the toasted sandwich maker - I had one in the shape of a cow for some reason.

Yes that's true. I wonder whatever happened to my fondue set, the electric knife, the Walkman, record player et al

It's fascinating isn't it?  We think we should have started a drinking game - one drink for every exclamation of 'We had one of those!'

Great program. Thanks for pointing it out!I don't think it is in Acton, they are a striking family we would recognise them if they were local.

I thought it was the end of Shakespeare or adjacent

Yes it's been a great watch.Loved the Seventies one as digging out the candles and playing in the street (whatever happened to my rollerskates...) brought back great memories.David I thought it looked familiar too so when the hubby went to the pub in the Seventies ep (The Flower Pot) and appeared to walk it I googled and it was in E17. Maybe the location of the pub was a red herring though..?

I don't know, but I love the show
