The Home That 2 Built

Miniseries

Series which trawls through the archives to see how BBC Two has been a guide to shifting lifestyle trends in contemporary Britain.

The Sixties
E1
The SixtiesThe biggest lifestyle revolution of them all - the 1960s - when the shock and the schlock of the new marched hand in brightly coloured hand.
The Seventies
E2
The SeventiesThe 1970s were an era of dodgy fashion, stodgy food and bodged politics driving us to escape into a world of stripped pine, country kitchens and Laura Ashley...amid familiar troubles like house price inflation, soaring energy costs, and worries about threats to 'real' food and environmental sustainability.
The Eighties
E3
The EightiesIn the 1980s more people would own their homes, and would spend more money on them - and more time in them - than ever before. Women joining the workforce in greater numbers contributed to a time of dizzying domestic change at the hands of Ken Hom and his time-saving wok, Jilly Goolden, Keith Floyd, and no-nonsense dog trainer Barbara Woodhouse.
The Nineties and Noughties
E4
The Nineties and NoughtiesIn the 1990s and 2000s programmes shifted to home and garden redos, decluttering, buying and selling property, and living abroad. But the makeover era couldn't last, and some of its stars - Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, Diarmuid Gavin, and Charlie Dimmock - try to explain why.
