I've seen the trailer and am looking forward to this. I love his history programmes.

His voice is so hypnotic I’m almost in a trance by the end of the programme.

Looks a bit different from earlier ones but sure it will be interesting, enjoyed all the others very much.

Looks a bit different from earlier ones but sure it will be interesting, enjoyed all the others very much. He did a one-off programme a few years ago about the history of Covent Garden using the same format of who lived in the buildings and what they had been used for. It was doubly interesting to me as some of my ancestors lived and worked there throughout the 1800s. His work is also interesting to me because my daughter is an academic social historian like David Olusoga, albeit working on a different area of history and not a television personality! He is one of her role models! |

I struggled to get into this. Probably because we were switching properties and they're blocks of flats so there were a lot of people to cover. It was interesting but perhaps too many tales. We will see, I will watch the next one.

I am also struggling with this. I think they should have picked two houses at most, not blocks of flats. It has lost the intimacy of the previous ones imho. I can’t decide whether to persevere or abandon ship!

I'm finding it completely enthralling. I do have a love of looking at census and other records to trace lives from long ago though and this answers that fascination for me. I will definitely keep watching.

Anymore to come?
