Help with the name of a TV show?

Help with the name of a TV show?

We watched Victorian Farm Christmas yesterday (great show!); I remember seeing part of another show from this series at one time.

But there was another similar series that showed one house over several hundred years and the different families that moved in, their lifestyle and furnishings etc. Anyone know the name of that British series?

Sorry, Diane. It doesn't even sound familiar.

I'm seeing 'Upstairs Downstairs' in my mind's eye, but it isn't that. Sorry, Diane, I can't help you either...  :-\

A person should keep a notebook in a draw by the TV for writing such things down eh.

I am steaming old timey pudding in mason jars because I watched The Victorian Christmas show last night.

Was it "Coronation Street"?

It was a bit like Coronations street when you come to think about it. I watched Coronation Street one day this past week after about a 9 year gap (but did watch Gail getting married at my sister's house in the summer). Nothing much has changed. 

Vultch, I too followed all the Wiki-links from the Victorian Farm article but came up with nothing. I thought it was very interesting that show.

Cool! Your sister must have a nice big house, Diane.
I apologise, in advance.

Why would my sister have to have a big house? Gail is just a tiny little woman.

I think Diane was just stating the obvious, Peeps, not being touchy.

No fork-lift required there then...
