The Victorian era was one of the most remarkable in British history; it saw The Industrial Revolution, the growth of major cities, the birth of the British Empire and huge advances in medicine, transport and education. It was also a time when harsh working conditions and desperate poverty blighted the lives of the majority of the people of the country. Incorporating rare footage from the end of Queen Victoria's reign, this film presents an uncomplicated picture of the era, focusing on aspects of everyday life.

So much missed out, in fact a one sided history. Yes it tackled the endemic poverty but it completely overlooked the Labour struggles of the Victorian age and the formation of trade unions. The unions and workers co-ops were instrumental in improving the living standards of workers. Working class people weren't handed rights, they had to fight for them, sometimes being killed in the process but this was completely ignored in this documentary.

My Grandad Beach was born in 1887 and had just started work down a coal mine when Queen Victoria died, he died in 1975 when I was 17. He was christened William Henry Bach, his father was German, in 1914 he was nearly interned for the war but was saved by the good references from the Vicar and his employers. He inserted an E into his name becoming Beach at least 3 of his sons served in WW2. He never spoke about his hardships and raised 10 children.

It was an incredible time, but also a horrible time. The British working class deserve an apology, for the incredible cruelty directed at them by the so-called upper class.

When you consider the wealth concentrated in London 150 years ago. That they turned a blind eye to people living absolute squalor is scandalous.

I watch this to make me feel better about my life and my job. Here I am complaining about working 10.5 hour night shifts, but its a cake walk compared to working back then

An uncle of mine born in 1900 in Birmingham was considered well educated having grade 6. The family emigrated to Canada in 1912. They knew and were lucky enough to get out of England. In 1916 he returns to England to fight in WWI. He was lucky to survive and make it back to Canada.

I was born in 1987. It's crazy to think my great grandfather died in a mine and my great grandmother died of lye poisoning. My parents are from Dublin and met in NYC where I was born, my mother is an accountant and my father an engineer but they came from Irish farming families (8 on Granny's side, 13 on Grandad's)
