Seasons

The Sixties

1. The Sixties

Air Date: 2014-11-14

The 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

2. The Seventies

Air Date: 2014-11-21

The 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

3. The Eighties

Air Date: 2014-11-28

In 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

4. The Nineties and Noughties

Air Date: 2014-12-12

In 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.
