House: Manor House DVD 3PK

THE MANOR HOUSE takes a fascinating look at the grand British class system of the early 1900s. Resembling prior cultural-reality series THE 1900 HOUSE and FRONTIER HOUSE, this unique series includes three distinct classes: aristocratic family, upper servants, and lower servants, who must act according to etiquette, not just the rigors or technical realities of the time. Nineteen contemporary Britons were selected from 8,000 applicants.

House: The 1940's House DVD

One modern family takes on the challenge of domestic life on Britain's home front in this gritty re-creation of a World War II household, 1940s HOUSE. This time-travel experiment covers the period from the outbreak of the war in 1939 to Victory Day in 1945, compressing six wartime years into nine weeks. The military threat is metaphorical, but the privations are real and the pressure creates surprising tensions nonexistent in modern society.

House: The 1900 House DVD

A four-part "docu-soap" transplants a modern British family from 1999 to 1900, as the Bowlers--Joyce and Paul, and four of their five children--are taken back to turn-of-the-century life in a London suburb. For three months, the Bowlers live in a late-Victorian terraced house on Elliscombe Road, Greenwich, wearing period clothing and dealing with the absence of a century of scientific and technological innovations.

House: Frontier House DVD 2PK
