For some reason it feels odd, watching and listening to these people who lived most of their lives in the nineteenth century. Curiously mundane too. There is much more they could tell us but don't. A tantalizing glimpse of stories untold.
The dance sequence is the same as in the 1995 BBC "Pride And Prejudice". That does take us back in time. As a child I knew someone born in the late 1850's. She would walk a mile to get a better ration of meat. But the voices, so different and so much more character. But they grew up without films or TV.

Nice to see early pics of Corbyn and Clarke!
Yes indeed but a worthwhile exercise nonetheless.

Scrobs - don't they look young?
James - it is, but it also leaves a hunger for more which can't be satisfied.
Demetrius - yes, we'll never know how much films and TV became part of what we are.
