"If only walls could talk" BBC

[sarenid]

I have done a search and haven't found a thread following this series if there is one please move. 

However, I have just caught on BBC iplayer episode 3 of "If only walls could talk" on Beds & Bedrooms, tomorrow 7.00 p.m. BBC2 (Thursday 6th Oct) is the final episode on Kitchens.  I found episode 3 fascinating it took one through the history of the bedroom from medieval times to the 1950s.  It gave an insight into how my ancestors must have lived - one revealing point was made about beds and how essentially valuable they were "if you were lucky you might be left one in a Will" which certainly hit home to me given the weight my 8xgr grandfather put on his best bed and then his second best bed in his will in 1723.  Anyway worth a look if you have the time but unfortunately Episode 3 is only available on iplayer until Thursday 6th October.

I think these programmes are repeats from earlier in the year.

Bill Bryson's latest book "At Home" does the same sort of thing, but in much greater depth.
