Timewatch: The Land of Lost Content

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

England's land was green but never pleasant. So why do villages and fields conjure up a happy, wholesome past?
This film unravels the ironic tale of poverty in countryside and town which led to the invention of a rural fantasy in the years before the First World War.
Glimpsing for the first time the new volume of Edith Holden's Country Diary, Timewatch asks why it was that these sweet Edwardian dreams finally came to hide the sour realities altogether.
