Documentary, The Victorian Slum S01E05 The 1900s <br />The Victorian Slum <br />The Victorian Slum refers to a historical reenactment series produced by Wall to Wall Media for the BBC, which recreates the living conditions of the Victorian East End of London. The series, which first aired in 2016, involves a group of 21st-century participants who move into a recreated Victorian slum, experiencing life as the poorest Victorians did during the 1860s to 1900s. <br /> The show aims to provide insight into the harsh realities of poverty during that era, including overcrowded living conditions, lack of sanitation, and the challenges of survival through traditional trades. <br /> The series has also been released on DVD and is available on platforms like Amazon.co.uk. <br /> Additionally, the concept of the Victorian Slum is closely related to the series "Victorian Slum House," which features participants living in a recreated 19th-century slum for three weeks. <br /> The show has been praised for its immersive approach to history, though some viewers noted minor anachronisms, such as the use of false eyelashes and lipstick, which were not typical of the period.
