Tony Robinson takes us back to the beginning of the last century. It’s a time of elegance, innovation, class division and social progress: The Edwardian Period. Tony begins with two people who travelled on the Titanic. One is ship’s fireman, Arthur Priest, who tends the ship’s furnaces. The other is Mrs Cavendish's Maid, Nellie Barber.
