    They crack me up!

    Great family. Of all the historical reality shows in the early 00's they had one of the best families. The nanny making jokes about the fuel warden. Lol Who was her grandson. Everyone seems to pull their weight besides the kids, which is understandable. They were hungry often. I wish BBC still made these shows!

    Wonder how many others could made it through?

    If you think that the discomfort of World War II was limited to that suffered by soldiers on the front lines, watch this for a moving and sometimes right amusing four hours.

    The Hymers agree to spend several weeks living the life that home-island Britons had in the 1940s. They dig in their garden for the mass-issue Anderson shelter, they are limited to the food amounts given by rationing, they are berated by official letter for not following the blackout regulations at night.

    I wonder how many contemporary Americans, not only permitted but encouraged by our economy to be profligate, could put up for two days with what the Hymers have to face. Example: Lyn Hymers accidentally drops a peach cobbler on the floor. She just scrapes it up and puts it back in the pan. If she didn't, the hungry family would go without some of their alloted calories at dinnertime. Behind the scenes, a board of simulators discuss what can be done to make things more realistic - ie., tougher - for the family.

    In the British wartime economy, there was no place for cosmetics or high fashion. You get the impression sex went completely by the boards for Ben Hymers and the Mrs. (On the other hand, "Hope and Glory" and other accounts show that young, impetuous hormones were granted a big loosening of sexual mores.) Nonetheless, Lyn, in her indefegable way, tries to make hair dye from her Victory Garden. The results aren't bad.

    When Ben goes away "to work at an aircraft plant up north," Kirstie and Lyn learn to make do so thoroughly that when he returns, he's more of an intruder into the house ecology than the husband. Little wonder soldiers on leave sometimes felt unwelcome and useless, and became impatient to get back to their outfits, where at least they knew they were needed.

    On a grim note, the narrator notes that the home next door to the Hymers was bombed in 1940; and in a neighborhood house, a mother was killed by a fall when trying to respond to a baby in a blacked out house. Proof of something "Pvt. Ryan" alluded to - modern war does not only mean deliberate death as the two sides try to kill each other, but it is a fertile breeding ground for fatal accidents as well.

    Definitely recommended watching.

    A bit sinister

    Although it's as well made as the other PBS reality shows, this one was disturbing. Many of the hardships imposed on the Hymers are by design, not circumstance. A committee of seven or eight experts privately judges them in a star chamber and decides how strict rationing will be and how much they will be fined for infractions. Watching the children go hungry while the experts debated how much to cut the food budget bothered me. The Hymers live more like lab rats than adventurers. It's also hard to get worked up about how much wartime Brits suffered from rationing since it was nothing compared to the hardships undergone by eastern Europeans, Asians and even their own soldiers. The show was simply too narrow in scope and sinister.

    Fascinating!

    This program is MUST SEE viewing for anyone with an interest in the 1940's or WWII. To contrast the Hollywood movies of the period with the reality that English citizens were living through at the time is, frankly, a shock. Mrs. Miniver it was not! The family at the center of things take the experiment seriously and that's what makes it work. The entire series of "House" programs has been excellent, and this one is right up there with the best of them. Certainly makes you appreciate how well we have it today, and the people who fought to make it possible.

    Every time I watch one of these programs, I come away more grateful than ever for the lifestyle I enjoy today. If I had children, this is definitely a program I would watch with them. I wish they had begun this series of programs when I was young as I feel strongly that while entertaining to watch, the lessons they have to teach make any of us at any age more aware of of how good we really have it.

    Best of the PBS (Channel 4) Reality Shows

    Michael Hymers has had what he calls a healthy interest in the 1940s. His wife Lyn, and his daughter Kirstie call it an obsession.

    Although their own house is decorated in different decades, 1940s Living Room, 1950s kitchen....etc. Michael's boyhood dream has been to go back in time and live the 1940s homefront experience.

    His dream comes true. He with his wife, daughter and two grandsons Ben and Thomas go to live the summer in a house specially decorated and equipped as it would have been in pre-war Britain.

    Lyn is my favorite of the family.

    With having to deal with the point system for food, air raids, rations, no telephone, no car, one bath a week (5 inches of water), a husband going away to work, doing volunteer work, washing clothes in the sink, hoping to find vegetables in the garden, cooking with almost no ingredients, keeping the house immaculate with sometimes no soap of any kind, no tooth powder, and spending some nights in the Anderson shelter, Lyn carries on. She was a delight to watch.

    Her daughter Kirstie who also does housework, cooking, volunteer work, taking care of her children is just splendid.

    Her sons are endearing and not at all bratty.

    Lyn's husband Michael (dad to Kirstie and grampy Mick to Ben and Tom) is the GENTLEman who works hard and is loving as well. He enjoys teaching the children about Spitfire airplanes. They even made up a board game about the War.

    Now I'm an American who up to seeing 1940s House had no interest whatsoever in wartime Britain. Let me tell you, it is so fascinating!

    If you get the chance to watch this series, you won't regret it!
