He inserted an E into his name becoming Beach at least 3 of his sons served in WW2. He never spoke about his hardships and raised 10 children.

QE II is the longest living , yet she like those before her , care not for the poor. She has created a nanny state not a great deal better than the Victorians. The wealthy of the UK still care nothing of the lower incomes. The wealthy still strut around ignoring the problems of the poor. They do give them just enough for minimal food and possibly lodging if they are lucky. The obvious drug addictions and homeless in the country is proof of this. Britain’s class system still exists today. The wealthy still ignore the plight of the poor and the Royals set the standard. There isn’t a single member of the upperclass that can relate to the working class in any way. Here in the US we do have lower income families and communities but , they are still afforded a good education and ample food and lodging for their families.

So much missed out, in fact a one sided history. Yes it tackled the endemic poverty but it completely overlooked the Labour struggles of the Victorian age and the formation of trade unions. The unions and workers co-ops were instrumental in improving the living standards of workers. Working class people weren't handed rights, they had to fight for them, sometimes being killed in the process but this was completely ignored in this documentary.

The Custodian Helmet is the headgear traditionally worn by male police constables and sergeants while on foot patrol in England and Wales. Officers of all ranks in most forces are also issued a flat, peaked cap that is worn on mobile patrol in a vehicle. Ranks above sergeant wear the peaked cap only. However, some Inspectors wear the Custodian Helmet, but with two silver bands around the base (to match the two pips worn as rank insignia) to denote their position. Claimed by some sources to have been based on the spiked pickelhaube worn by the Prussian Army, it was first adopted by the London Metropolitan Police in 1863 to replace the "stovepipe" top hat worn since 1829. In 1863, the Metropolitan Police replaced the previous uniform of white trousers, swallow-tailed coat and top hat in favour of very dark blue trousers, a more modern button up tunic and the early type of helmet which had an upturned brim at the front and a raised spine at the back, running from the bottom to the top of the helmet, which became known as the "cockscomb".

She probably didn’t know the extent of the poverty, and didn’t have the constitutional power to do much about it if she did. Regardless, it’s unfair to judge a person from the 19th century using 21st century values. She would be condemned for her ignorance today, but she acted accordingly for the period of time she lived. The past should be learned from, not judged using current standards of morality.

Photographs and early film are evidence of the deplorable quality of inner city air back then. Because industry and people's homes used coal everything was covered in a layer of coal dust, the smoke hung thick in the air and created deathly fogs which choked people. Air today, particularly inner-city air, is so much cleaner and, while polluted by engine fumes, can in no way be described as reaching almost extinction levels. We've, to coin a phrase, never had it so good.

Better her than so many others who might have been in her stead. She didn’t set up the system and the crown also comes as a burden in spite of the wealth that goes with it. She only was doing what she thought was her duty, and what she felt her people wanted. This didn’t begin with her nor end with her and pretty much all countries have poverty stricken populations, even more deprived. In terms of monarchs, she was considered to be rather liberally minded.

The Victorian age was not just a British thing. Springfield Massachusetts USA is still called the city of homes due to the many Victorian homes that were built there. It also was a major factory town once were the US Army and Navy produced Almost all their firearms and cannon. Many of the homes were torn down from 1900 to the 1970s before people took an intreat in saving them making historic districts. My parents live in an 1897 large Victorian home. Three floors, three fireplaces, 4 full bathrooms, maid lived on the 3rd floor. A big 4500 sq ft home. Has a room off the living room with a sink and marble shelves to cut and arrange flowers.

Victoria, regent of the Age named for her, should have been ashamed of every day of her long, oppressive, compassionless life. Her "Age," historically considered a period of imperial and commercial advancement for Britain, was in fact massively defined by the wealthy class' cruel and contemptuous exploitation of 90 percent of the country's starving, miserable, and excruciatingly overworked poor.

great doc, poor sound quality when the lady in muted green was speaking.

I am deeply satisfied and curious about what life was like in the 1800s and how things have changed until now in 2020. what the people thought of the future would look like and be life.

I like that this is a straightforward account, not romanticized. We use “Victorian” mistakenly quite often, to mean “loosely resembling the old west and Europe at once and very trendy” but it is actually yet another royal lineage on this earth, with its own fashion and influence and consequences, many of which to me are just the average trappings of royalty and power, and people trying desperately to imitate that. If I were to emulate anyone from the past, it would be a country gentleman of modest income, venturing into town for cultural events, and divorced from politics. Well dressed of course. Oh wait you can do that now!

I liked the documentary. It was interesting. The one complaint I have is the timeline with the pictures. Clearly the slums of London and elsewhere were not photographed in early 1840’s. So your using pictures from a later period to go along with your narrative.

Piano music at the beginning it’s really familiar what’s the name?

I wonder when this documentary was filmed

where i can found the text of video?

Oh I love these videos but I tell you what you lost me with the Dickens monologues.

A wonderfully well done documentary! The male narrator's voice was beautifully clear; the female's voice was difficult to hear, inasmuch as she did not face the screen. Much of this was very well known to me, because I have read ALL of Dickens' novels twice, and many a third time. Excellent selection from the neglected Nicholas Nickleby; everyone knows of Oliver Twist; but Our Mutual Friend, Hard Times (especially), and Bleak House also make their indelible impressions of Victorian life. Thanks for this post!

Another classic case of the truly needy and the truly greedy. Not much has changed.

Very interesting and informative but the background pictures and noises were obtrusive, nearly overcoming the narrative.

My Father was born in 1894, he was in the 1918 World war ,and then there was another War ,the second World war 1939 -1945 . I think how unfortunate he was like others to be born at this time in history . My Mother was born in 1903 .They both were from the poorer class then , like others, what society Called working class ,,I was born in 1936 , and knew poverty what must it have been like for them . We have come along way since then ,There is no class distinction now thank the good Lord . Money can buy luxuries , but not what we call today good breeding. Class .

I would have liked to have seen Oscar Wilde in Victorian London. The Victorian era was very creative.

Dickens could only go so far in his writing. Could you imagine the child molestation that went on. Little children on the street, in factory’s, and no choice but to join a gang to protect oneself from so many evils. .

North Norfolk Railway was first opened and ran on the 16th June 1887. One year later in the City of London was the most mysterious and unsolved murder Jack the Ripper, 1888.

I was born in victorian times.seems like yesterday.

There are certain types of brexiteers to be found who hark back with longing for lost glories and Empire and yearn to have a return of the native where every one knew their place i say . Upstairs down stairs as they say . Must be a bit of a bore to read up on Victorian house keeping but we all need a hobby we can indulge .
