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.

All through the experience Harry & Edna were very aware there was a serious side to the project.

The first German raids on British cities took place at the end of August 1940, when Birmingham and Liverpool were attacked, then on 7 September the Blitz intensified when around 950 German aircraft attacked London.

It was the first and last mass daylight raid on London, but it heralded the first of 57 consecutive nights of bombing. Millions had already been evacuated to the countryside. For those who were left in the cities, a rigorous policy of blackout began. Every building had to extinguish or cover its lights at night, and car owners had to reduce their headlights to a horizontal slit, with rear lamps also dimmed severely. Road accidents shot up, exacerbated by the lack of street lighting and the dimmed traffic lights.

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.
