...for the Corner Shop... Tuesday 25 February BBC 2 at 8 pm

First of 5 programmes.
New Series
A family goes back in time to experience running a corner shop.
Starting era is 1897

Although they didn't have a shop as such, my great grandmother ran a small business from her front room. My mother used to tell me of helping to weigh out sugar, currants etc. for customers from the village, so I will view with interest.

Thanks for this Gwyn. I've enjoyed all the other "Back in Time" shows but I hadn't seen this one mentioned. I will look forward to seeing it.
