S0·E2 – The Making Of A Victorian Television Programme: The Actors
2011-12-22 • 30 min
From the Red Button, a behind the scenes look at The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff which reveals how the programme is part of a unique experiment. It is the first television programme in over one hundred and seventeen years to be made using traditional Victorian television making techniques. See how the relatively fearless cast and crew coped with steam cameras, on-set urchins and the occasional cholera outbreak behind the scenes.
