BBC 2 | Paul Thomas - Wildflame Prods | The 1900 Island

4 families live for a month as 1900 Fisherman in a remote area of Wales, living frugally and trying to scrape a living from the hard seas.

A month long History shoot, with 15 > 20 contributors and 4 Crews covering 24 hour filming.

The series follows four 21st century families who are placed in a recreation of a 1900 Welsh fishing village.^[2] The families live in a row of original pilots' cottages on Llanddwyn, taking on the traditional male and female roles and using the original facilities and technology of the times. The men go out to sea to catch fish (when weather permits) while the women stay on the island to look after the children and manage their homes. They start with only a few chickens and basic rations of food.
