1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jam mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Interesting the times we're going through at the moment and

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: we think, you know, do we need to tough enough

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: to get through this? And the same way our four

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: bears did? How hard was life in Federation?

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Well?

7
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: The TV show Back in Time for Dinner is back

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: on the TV tonight. This time they're living through Federation

9
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: up to the from the nineteen hundred, from nineteen hundred

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 2: up to nineteen forties. It's hosted as always by Annabel

11
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: Krab who joins us Hi Annabelle.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Hello, how are you? I am okay, thank you. I

13
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: am out of my home fifty three So I've never

14
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: felt more relaxed.

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: Oh good on you.

16
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: It's an interesting time. The forties, though, were tough times,

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 3: weren't they. You just finished a war, but they were

18
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 3: in the cut. They were in a war, and they've

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: been through all the pandemics and all that stuff.

20
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: I just I found out so much more about Australia

21
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: for doing this show. So I didn't realize that in

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: nineteen hundreds Sydney was fell vict into the plague, which

23
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: was then a global pandemic. I didn't know that Australia

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: that had a plague outbreak. Five hundred people died and

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: half of the rocks kind of got burned down. It

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: was pretty full on. And that's where we start with

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: our family, the lovely Foraron family. We've driven amount of

28
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: sin any regional area to escape the plague. And you know,

29
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: you remember the Parons from the first series back in

30
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: time for dinner. They are very long suffering. They put

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: up with whatever we throw at them. And this time

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: we made them go back to nineteen hundred, which was

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: very full on because they were in the middle of

34
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: a heat wave, wearing corsets and woolen suits, dropped off

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere at this house that has

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: no electricity, no hot water. You can only have a

37
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: bath once a week outside a long drop duney. And

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: all the cooking has done on a wood stove in

39
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: a really quite unventilated kitchen with.

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: No refrigeration or anything.

41
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: No no so and you know, delivery food deliveries to

42
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: the door, much like today, but you know, in the

43
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: form of rabbits, dead rabbits and so on, so very confronting,

44
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: and in fact, dear old Sienna, who is now sixteen

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: in the elder daughter of the family, look I want

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: to say she was the most keen of the family

47
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: to go back to the nineteen hundreds. And in the

48
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: first episode tonight, you'll see a point where I actually

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: thought she was going to walk off the series because

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: it was she unwrapped a pretty confronting animal part that

51
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: she's got to make into a soup, and it was

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: nearly curtains for her. But listen, I mean this series

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: we actually filmed over Christmas end of twenty nineteen, and

54
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: there were bushfires. You know, it was really hot. We

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: thought we were going to get caught bushfires, so that

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: was our major concern, and I didn't. I mean, watching

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: it back now, the parallels with what subsequently happened with

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: this pandemic are just quite amazing. You know. Like we

59
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: spent quite a bit of time discussing the lack of

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: toilet paper, which of course was the normal thing in

61
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: the nineteen hundreds, but became you know, after we'd finished shooting.

62
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, there's a lot of themes that will

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: be weirdly familiar when people watch this nineteen hundreds episodes

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,359
Speaker 1: this evening.

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 2: Do you think we we've become too not too soft?

66
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: But looking back at that, are we what a relief.

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: We're not there now, but are there lessons we could

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: have from that?

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Look over the whole series and it covers sort of

70
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: nineteen hundred all the way through the nineteen fifties and one,

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: and it's a certainly an absolutely eventful period, you know,

72
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: two World Wars, depression, pandemic, all sorts of upheavals on

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: a domestic front of course, because Federation happens first up

74
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: in the show. So one thing that I really realized

75
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: looking at history and that kind of sped up form

76
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: and watching a family look through it is just how

77
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: resilient people are. I mean, it's not all that long ago, right, look,

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: and people were dealing with food shortages. They I certainly

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: didn't have anything like the range of fresh food and

80
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: choice that we have today. But also the depression was

81
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: just scarifying, you know, like people fathers ended up, you know,

82
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: taking to the roads and hiking around looking for work,

83
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 1: not being able to provide for their families. The hardship

84
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: was really profound. And the idea of you know, on

85
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: top of that, saying goodbye to your sons twice in

86
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: a couple of decades troop off to the World War.

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: It's just amazing, but.

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 3: They're more stoic. Back then, Dad had just disappeared, So

89
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to your work and you never see him again.

90
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 3: And they said, well, what happened to Dad? I just

91
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: went and got work and that was easy.

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

93
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Well, in these days, dad goes down the shop and

94
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: the mum's on the boat. Where's Dad? God, I've been

95
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 3: gone for fifteen minutes.

96
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Could because it could have been mobile phones. Where are Yeah? Look,

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: but in the middle of it, you've got the twenties,

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: which is just this complete high kicking good times, you know,

99
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: right in the middle of these terrible hardships. And that's

100
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: what you see in this series too, Like the nineteen

101
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: twenties comes sort of hot on the heels of World

102
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: War Two, and all of a sudden, the fashions changed,

103
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: the home designs changed, even what you eat changes. And

104
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: that's one thing that really struck me, how quickly the

105
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: world turns, you know, after these great disasters. So look,

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: I mean that is one of the encouraging elements I

107
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: suppose out of looking at this period of history. It's

108
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: just like, Wow, you know, we are capable of surviving.

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: You just got to love rabbit. If you live back

110
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 3: in those olden times. You just gotta love rabbits. You

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: didn't have rabbit tonight back then, did you. There was

112
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: no rabbit. That's the worst stuff in.

113
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: The Rones really got quite attached to their vegetable garden,

114
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: and we have pretty much vegan by the end of it,

115
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: the terrible awful that we make them eat.

116
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 3: It's great to talk to you further back in time

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: for dinner on the A b C A thirty tonight,

118
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,919
