Synopsis

Three Welsh families give up their 21st-century creature comforts and travel back in time to 1944 to face the hardships of life during the Second World War.

The weekend arrives, and with it, a welcome break from work. While the men go to football training, the women go to the hair salon. Just as they start to think they are adjusting to life in the Coal House, however, there are more arrivals..

Preview Clip

There’s uproar in Stack Square as the slaughter-man arrives to kill the rabbits. “Life for bunnies, bunnies for life!” shout the children as they stand in front of the hutches. Their parents also turn down the opportunity for a little extra meat on the table. However, the Bevin Boys aren’t so attached. But will they be able to persuade the families to part with their pets?
