Greg Jenner explores a fragment of archive about the last working canal boatmen in the 1960s, and speaks to writer Julian Dutton and boat-dwellers Jo and Vic about the new era of life on Britain's waterways.
Marking the centenary of the 成人快手, Past Forward uses a random date generator to alight somewhere in the 成人快手's vast archive over the past 100 years. Greg Jenner hears an archive clip for the first time at the top of the programme, and uses it as a starting point in a journey towards the present day. The archive captures a century of British life in a unique way - a history of ordinary people鈥檚 lives, as well as news of the great events. Greg uncovers connections through people, places and ideas that link the archive fragment to Britain in 2022, pulling in help from experts and those who remember the time, and looking at how far we've come since then.
