About Manor House

On this show nineteen volunteers from the modern world find that life of a grand country house in the early 20th century is plagued by all-too familiar themes: money, power and position. For three months, the household functions as it would have done in pre-First World War England. Every participant in the experiment has agreed not just to live with Edwardian technology, but to abide by Edwardian standards of behavior and to adapt to a complicated set of rules that governs everything in their daily lives.

This series is another adventure in placing contemporary people into the lifestyle of a previous historical era. Click the picture to get the series on DVD.
