BBC One - Turn Back Time, The Family, 1970

Daily life in the 70s is turned upside down by strikes, power cuts and women's liberation.

In this final episode of the documentary series, the families experience life in the 1970s. Daily life is turned upside down by strikes, power cuts and women's liberation.

In this final episode of the series, Albert Road is transformed once again for family life in the 1970s. 

Single mum Lisa Rhodes moves in with her two sons, joining the other parents for whom the seventies are all about nostalgia. But as daily life is turned upside down by strikes, the three-day week, power cuts, water shortages and women's liberation, the rose-tinted glasses are off and the parents realise just how tough their own parents had it. 

With all the mums working, the two dads on Albert Road soon take up the strain at home: Michael Taylor puts on a pinny and cooks chicken kiev, while Phil knuckles down to the housework. 

As the families living on the street pull together as a community for the penultimate decade, the question to which everyone wants to know the answer is, when do they feel the golden era for the family really was?

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
