For Those Who May be Interested in Such Things as History

This is likely the only 'real life' TV show you'll ever catch me watching!
Produced in the UK, Edwardian Country House was the inspiration for the setting of The Changing Times. The worst part was that I had to cut out many of the most interesting parts of the setting, lest people think I was making up silly things!
Sadly, the first episode has been removed.
A quick primer for the show: A team of volunteers live for four months in the style of a grand manor house of 1900. Those of the ruling classes rather enjoy it, those in the 'downstairs' not so much.
The butler might not be a perfect match, but he does have a few similarities with someone I could name.
Yes, you know you're a geek when you'd rather watch a show like this than the latest Survivor!

Bugger, bum, front-fanny, nunnery, clergyman's daughter, and piano leg!
*Cough, cough*
I do believe I heard somewhere that it's impossible for modern man to carry on a conversation for more then five minutes without using at least three Edwardian euphemisms for a woman's... ah, ladyparts.
