1
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:09,419
Is there a period of history that you would like to go back to?

2
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,699
What kind of people would you be interested to meet?

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,879
I think I'd probably want to go back to the 1920s,

4
00:00:17,940 --> 00:00:21,280
probably more so because it was a time when my grandmother,

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,640
my late grandmother, was a child.

6
00:00:24,339 --> 00:00:27,780
In those days, she grew up not having plastic anything.

7
00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:31,260
They would just go to the grocers and they'd buy fresh food regularly.

8
00:00:31,260 --> 00:00:39,000
electricity wasn't normal in the way that it is now equally nor was having running water frankly

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,439
so I think I'd find that really interesting to see how that shaped the woman that she became and

10
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:48,299
maybe how that shaped who we are now maybe we could learn something from it I think it'd be

11
00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:57,119
great to learn more about your ancestors and where you came from yes yeah definitely I grew up in the

12
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:04,920
1980s and um yeah i i i felt why on earth am i stuck here and i became really obsessed with the

13
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:11,040
1960s oh gosh now why can't i be living there instead of here so i think if i had the chance

14
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:16,280
to travel back in time that's where i'd go i think to experience some of the some of the culture and

15
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:21,319
go hang out at the cavern club with the beatles particularly the music and the writing and things

16
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,760
like that i bet it was but that would have been awesome i think it's interesting because those

17
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:31,140
are both sort of changing periods aren't they in time but I think I'd go even further back um I

18
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:36,400
used to really really be interested in the Tudors when I was at school um and I think there's a lot

19
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,700
going on politically with women being in power and Elizabeth I not getting married and I think

20
00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:47,260
all the dramas and the books that you read about that period there's a lot of intrigue and plots

21
00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:52,060
and things and to find out if it was really like that but I don't think you'd want to go you know

22
00:01:52,060 --> 00:01:56,620
too close to it with the uncleanliness and disease and things that was around so maybe

23
00:01:56,620 --> 00:02:01,959
kind of viewing from a safe platform yeah who would you like to speak to i think elizabeth

24
00:02:01,959 --> 00:02:06,420
the first i did a dissertation on her and i think she's just so interesting i think that

25
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,840
will be fascinating do you know they're all periods of change particularly for women as

26
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,340
well weren't they yeah but i quite like your point about not getting too close

27
00:02:13,340 --> 00:02:18,780
let me just observe history from a safe-ish distance and not have to live there for very long
