While the Victorians confronted the challenges of ruling an empire, perhaps the most dangerous environment they faced was in their own homes. Householders lapped up the latest products, gadgets and conveniences, but in an era with no health and safety standards they were unwittingly turning their homes into hazardous death traps.
In a genuine horror story, Dr Suzannah Lipscomb reveals the killers that lurked in every room of the Victorian home and shows how they were unmasked. What new innovation killed thousands of babies? And what turned the domestic haven into a ticking time bomb?

'you'll be leaving the building without opening the door' - most casual explanation for an exploding house ever

Who was the idiot who set the volume of the music against the voice?
-
"they even offered to eat it to prove how safe it was" Go ahead. Eat it. Eat the wallpaper. See what happens.
-
I think the sound mixer must have been in a room full of green wallpaper and nearly comatose.

The Romans used lead as a sweetener for wine. Always makes me wonder if maybe that had a bit to do with Caligula and Nero.

Turn that music down you crazy kids!

As a 30+ year plumber, I've always been amazed at how little concept we had of safety procedures back in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and have experienced it first hand with asbestos exposure back in the 90s. I'm also truly amazed at their toughness and I think we have them to thank for our immune systems 👍

"...it makes me wonder what we're oblivious to today." Well, our food for one thing. And I don't just mean processed junk.

Dr Kate Williams is always so passionate when talking about history, clearly loves what she's doing. ☺️
-
She makes a very good point at the end: What new products are hidden killers today?
-
napoleon was said to have died from arsenic poisoning from the green wallpaper in his room. and they said he was just paranoid when he complained he was being poisoned!
-
Tbh I absolutely love green and Shiel's green is super pretty. Thankfully in 2021 we can make that color WITHOUT the arsenic.

Alright, who didn't pay the intern?!

Suzannah always looks so fabulous! I could listen to her talk about history forever!

We waited until the 1980s to ban lead-based paint in the US. All new properties built after 1986 wasn't allowed to use lead-based paint. Existing properties were grandfathered in. Same thing with lead pipes for water. I remember because I was born in 1986. I've probably never lived in anywhere that didn't have lead-based paint present under at least one layer of paint (as ppl tend to just paint over old layers) as I've never lived in a place that was built after I was born.

After watching this channel for a while, now I know about the English history more than my own country’s history,
-
Lead in house paint wasn’t banned in Australia until he 1990s , goes to show that some things never change
-
“for the first time you measured how good your life was by how many objects you possess..when you think about it that’s a very strange idea” yes, it is, and we STILL do it. lmao. materialistic since we learned how to be hundreds of years ago, awesome

I’ve seen this documentary a hundred times, but I keep coming back. Her voice is just so soothing.
