Full description from the producer:

Follow prize-winning author Amanda Vickery as she unlocks the secrets of the Georgian home by investigating the lives of the people who lived in them. Based on her highly acclaimed book ‘Behind Closed Doors At Home in Georgian England’ she becomes the ultimate house detective unlocking the doors to a lost world.

What sex is a teapot? What does your choice of dwelling reveal about your ambitions to marry? What is the moral significance of wallpaper? In what ways does a house resemble a human body? Who has access to your home? Where can you find privacy? Who really runs the roost?

With Amanda as our guide, these questions will be explored and answered as we go on a tour of Georgian Britain, uncovering fascinating stories of the people in a world we thought we were familiar with through costume dramas, but which only now offers up its secrets.
