The Family

BBC One - Turn Back Time, The Family, 1940

The three families experience family life on the home front during World War II.

In this episode of the documentary series, three families experience family life during World War II. They must pull together to survive and do their bit for the war effort.

In this episode, the families face life on the home front with Great Britain at war; they pull together to survive and do their bit for the war effort, as well as enduring a night in a bomb shelter; and Susie Meadows finds herself responsible for everyone's safety. 

The Taylor family are now without servants and, just as Adele finally gets to run her own home, the family is split apart once more as husband Michael is called up for national service and her children are evacuated. 

With the families in disarray, there is much relief as VE Day arrives, and by the end of the era the close-knit community say goodbye to the Goldings.

Three families experience life across five different eras of British history.

Exploring what it means to be a mother, father and child in British society today and throughout 100 years of change, as three modern families experience life across five eras of British life
