Harry & Edna's
W.W.2  impression

In October 2004 Harry & Edna were asked to take the main role in a television programme about the affects the blitz would have on a modern family.

The programme was part of a series called "The Home Front". The Blitz episode was filmed in Harry and Edna's own house including their Anderson air raid shelter they have located in the bottom of their garden. Being filmed at their own house meant they were able to supply their own artefacts, including the air raid siren!

They performed various re-enactment routines taken from
the ABC of ARP  scenarios and had a chance to experience a fraction of what it must of been like to have experienced life on the home front during W.W.2.

By doing the filming Harry & Edna gained a small glimmer of insight into what it must have been like to go through the blitz. To say they enjoyed the experience would be wrong, they sat in the Anderson air raid shelter for long periods, it was cold, uncomfortable and rather frightening.  All around them special effects were going off and the noise of bombing filled the shelter.

Despite this they were pleased they had the experienced. The programme was filmed in Harry & Edna's modern but 1940s style decorated living room, bedroom and dinning room.

Their 1940s decorated home has also been used as a historical location for
the
Sunday Times, Sunday Express, Daily Mirror and ITV's This Morning.
