-In an exciting experiment,

-18 people step back in time...

-..to experience life

-in a 1910 manor house.

-One, two, three.

-Today, the servants and the

-Quick family pose for a photograph.

-I feel like a celebrity.

-Cathryn's in trouble as Mrs Wilson

-reveals all to the mistress.

-They must get up early.

-If she wants to stay up later,

-she has to be up early.

-That's not good for this household.

-All the hard work stops

-for an hour or two.

-Gary! Gary! Gary!

-Another morning dawns.

-The manor house

-is a hive of activity.

-Mr Davies receives

-an unexpected letter.

-"Dear Mr Davies,

-just a quick word to confirm...

-"..that a supply of beer,

-cider and soft drinks...

-"..will be delivered today

-for the servants' party.

-"They will be delivered

-to the stables.

-"William Price, Aeron Brewery."

-Let's find out what's going on.

-Upstairs, Mr Quick

-also receives some correspondence.

-Come in.

-Thank you.

-"Dear Mr Quick...

-"..I write to confirm the attendance

-of Eifion Price and myself...

-"..at the servants' party.

-"We understand this will take place

-at 8.00pm in the stables courtyard."

-They've worked hard.

-They're entitled to let their

-hair down and have a good time.

-During the morning meeting,

-the master informs the staff.

-Please enjoy yourselves.

-You've worked hard.

-We're going to dance.

-Relax now, dance tonight!

-What are we going to wear?

-Yes, what are we going to wear?

-We can take these off.

-Do we wear our Sunday best?

-I have a blouse!

-It's so fetching.

-Rowan's not concerned

-about her party clothes.

-I'll have Dewi, you can have Dan.

-Cheeky!

-I'll keep my options

-for tonight open.

-We'll see who's made some effort.

-Who's combed their hair,

-who's shaved.

-I'll make the best choice

-at the time.

-Are you having a bath?

-I'd better have one.

-I wouldn't want to dance

-with me right now.

-Priorities.

-Breakfast first, lunch, supper

-and then think about the party.

-That's the least of my concerns

-right now.

-An organised household

-is more important...

-..not entertainment and fun.

-Excuse me.

-What was on Mam-gu's arm?

-I thought we had a mouse

-and then I saw Betsan.

-Betsan was the mouse.

-You left Macsen all alone.

-What worries me about tonight is

-if they drink and have a party...

-..they still have to get up early

-tomorrow morning.

-They just said,

-"Play hard, work hard."

-"Done it all my life," I said,

-but get up early in the morning.

-Know your limitations.

-It's not just party hard.

-Right, OK.

-Cathryn is already in trouble

-after oversleeping.

-Mrs Wilson, good morning.

-Mrs Wilson, good morning.

-

-Good morning.

-Mrs Wilson wants her employer

-to know what's going on.

-I woke up at 1.00am -

-the fire was burning.

-I was up again at 3.00am...

-..but it had gone out.

-I stayed up

-between 3.00am and 6.30am...

-..until someone came in.

-About 6.00am,

-I was sitting at the table in tears.

-I think that was just tiredness.

-That can't go on -

-I'd be exactly the same.

-The kitchen maid is up

-at around 6.00am.

-Can she look after the fire

-until it's time for you to get up?

-She'd offered to come in late

-last night to check the fire.

-Last night,

-she told me she didn't want to.

-They must get up early.

-If she wants to stay up later,

-she has to be up early.

-I don't want you doing that again.

-You told her you were up

-twice last night.

-She was aware that Cathryn had

-arrived in late yesterday morning.

-That's why they had

-no tea or coffee yesterday.

-I think we'll have to close the door

-at 9.30pm, not 10.30pm.

-It would be better if the farm boys

-ate outside, on the bench.

-When the farm boys come in, that's

-when the house goes skew-whiff.

-If they create problems

-when they come in...

-..we can't have that at all.

-We have to be hard on them.

-It's not 2013.

-I know.

-When Mr Griffiths comes...

-When Mr Griffiths comes...

-

-We are today's people, remember.

-We've only been here for four days.

-Crack the shell now.

-News spreads that the Quick family

-have moved into the manor.

-The local paper sends a reporter

-to interview them.

-The family would be expected

-to play a prominent part in society.

-The newspaper's readership will

-be very interested in the family.

-Good morning. Jason Evans

-from the local newspaper.

-I'm here to see the family.

-I work for the newspaper.

-I'd like to ask you some questions.

-I'd also like to take

-some photographs.

-Who would you like

-in the photograph?

-The family first. It would also

-be nice to have the whole staff.

-Everybody will pose

-for the photograph.

-Come to Mam-gu.

-What do you think of the old camera?

-This is cutting-edge technology.

-We can take photos of the family,

-the house.

-We'll publish them in the newspaper.

-Hold it with two hands.

-Smaller cameras with lenses

-that adjusted the focus...

-..were invented

-at the turn of the century.

-Flat like that.

-Look down there.

-It's a feather.

-Quick, quick, there you go.

-Good girl.

-Come out with Mami,

-hold Mami's hand.

-Miss Betsan could do

-without all the fuss...

-..in stark contrast

-to sister Elicia.

-I feel like a celebrity.

-Ready?

-Lovely, thank you.

-One more.

-Trying to get the children to

-perform is the most difficult part.

-It's easy for the adults

-but the children get tired easily.

-It's difficult persuading them to do

-the right thing at the right time.

-You're all needed upstairs

-for a photo.

-The staff step out

-according to their status.

-If we can have all the staff

-lined up at the back.

-The family at the front.

-One, two, three.

-There we go. Thank you.

-Aled could have done with a wash!

-It's a little strange having

-your photo taken when you're dirty.

-I'm dirty for most of the day.

-It would be wrong for me

-to scrub up. This is how I am.

-It's not nice when you're standing

-behind people...

-..who are dressed so smartly.

-I was standing behind them

-like a little dog.

-The local press were eager

-to hear the views of the nobility.

-Mrs Quick shares her views

-on the Suffragette Movement...

-..as they try and secure

-the vote for women.

-You asked earlier

-about the Suffragette Movement.

-They have battled to have

-their voice heard in society...

-..and increase their status.

-I must say, I think I hold

-a high status within this household.

-In our household, I'm responsible

-for most of the organisation.

-The Suffragettes battle for

-recognition beyond their households.

-It will be interesting

-to see how those changes develop.

-As I say, within our household,

-at times, I'm head of the household.

-I'm more organised than my husband.

-Thank you for giving

-your time today.

-I hope we can have a more informal

-meeting tomorrow over supper.

-I'm looking forward

-to tomorrow night.

-I'll see you again. Thank you.

-Making local connections

-is important to the family.

-Jason will be back tomorrow night

-with more questions.

-Regular visitors

-to the manor house...

-..would give sufficient notice

-of their arrival.

-A good opportunity to use

-the crockery from the dresser.

-It's a special afternoon.

-The vicar's coming for tea.

-We need to make more of an effort

-than we normally do.

-We're preparing

-ham and tomato sandwiches.

-We're slicing everything thinly -

-the bread, the ham and the tomatoes.

-You can almost see through them!

-They're having cake -

-Mrs Ifan has made bara brith.

-We have trays

-with plates in three layers.

-It looks special.

-It's starting to become messy!

-Tomatoes from the garden.

-They're fresh from the garden.

-It's 4.00pm.

-The Reverend Canon Chris Boulton

-has come for afternoon tea.

-The butler or the footman should

-be waiting for him to open the door.

-Keeping an important visitor

-waiting is extremely impolite.

-Good afternoon.

-Good afternoon.

-

-Good afternoon.

-The majority of the noble class were

-members of the Church of England.

-Good afternoon. Nice to meet you.

-Thank you for visiting us.

-Take a seat.

-Go and find Dadi.

-How are you today?

-I'm fine. The rain, what can I say?

-It's terrible.

-It's terrible.

-

-I haven't been out this afternoon.

-It's not too special today.

-I hope it improves.

-To confirm the family's status...

-..the Quicks would be expected

-to contribute to the Church...

-..with their time and money.

-One of the reasons I'm here...

-..is to talk about the precarious

-state of the Church's estate.

-We need to raise funds

-for the Church.

-We hope you'd be willing

-to organise a garden fete...

-..on the lawns of the manor.

-I hope you're willing to do this.

-I hope you can organise a fete

-on the manor's lawns.

-Thank you for the invitation.

-We would like that very much.

-It would be a challenge for us all.

-It would be a challenge for us all.

-

-Thank you very much.

-I'm sure we'd enjoy that.

-Help yourself. The staff

-have made some lovely sandwiches.

-Help yourself to the sandwiches.

-I'll take one too.

-Oops.

-That's what happens

-when the vicar calls. Yes indeed.

-Mrs Ifan's bara brith

-is going down brilliantly well.

-It's really nice, actually.

-I had a bite earlier.

-I'm more than happy to do it. It's

-something I'm looking forward to.

-We'll be busy

-over the next few weeks.

-Thank you for calling and I look

-forward to meeting your wife.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-Thank you.

-The vicar's visit

-went very well this afternoon.

-It was relatively easy

-to speak to him.

-He had a number of things

-to discuss...

-..such as the service and the fete.

-It's something we'll enjoy doing,

-for the family and the servants.

-It's a target for everyone

-over the next few weeks.

-What's that, Gary?

-Don't tell Mr Davies.

-The weather won't stop

-the staff's enthusiasm for a party.

-Dan and Dewi, the farm servants,

-are organising the entertainment.

-They create a wooden skittle set.

-In the kitchen, Kathryn, Fiona and

-Jasmine discuss their expectations.

-More importantly,

-who's taken to whom.

-Cathryn's chat-up line will be,

-"Have you got a fire at home?

-"I know how to make a fire!"

-There's no hanky-panky!

-No. I'm only 18.

-I don't know what that means!

-When I was your age...!

-There's no gossip yet. Hopefully,

-by tonight, something will develop.

-We can gossip more together,

-around the table.

-There's not enough scandal yet.

-Will you be the last

-to leave the party...

-..since you're keeping an eye

-on the youngsters?

-Of course.

-I'm the party animal - boom!

-Well, well, well. The butler, but

-only when he wants to be the butler.

-As a reward

-for all their hard work...

-..it was normal for masters

-to organise a party for their staff.

-The more social noble class

-would organise a weekly party.

-Others thought that once a month

-would be sufficient.

-Every member of staff

-had an alcohol allowance.

-The butler and footman were allowed

-three pints a day with their meals.

-The kitchen-maid and scullery-maid

-were allowed only one pint.

-I'm not used to drinking

-from a bottle.

-I don't know

-where the bottle's been.

-What the hell!

-Everyone's priority

-was to go straight for the beer!

-The dancing's later.

-Beer first, dancing later.

-She spat her drink over me.

-She said something funny.

-I don't know why, I just went...

-I'm really sorry.

-Gary! Gary! Gary!

-One, two, three.

-Over Mrs Ifan's feet.

-You lose points for that.

-Minus one.

-Minus one.

-

-Minus five.

-With the party in full swing...

-..the master and mistress

-venture downstairs.

-This is the butler's pantry.

-I thought that would be locked.

-They could steal our bottles.

-They could steal our bottles.

-

-I thought that would be locked.

-Rowan and Aled

-will have to be careful.

-Having a relationship with a servant

-would result in instant dismissal.

-Here's the kitchen.

-It's nice and warm.

-It's nice and warm.

-

-And tidy.

-I haven't done any folk dancing

-since I was in primary school.

-I was in Year 6 -

-that was about 15 years ago.

-Time has flown.

-I remember some of the steps.

-1, 2, 3, hop.

-That's what I remember

-from primary school.

-When I'm out, I'm rarely up

-before midday the next day.

-I hope I'm not sick

-in one of Mr Quick's shoes...

-..when I'm polishing them.

-There's a lot to do

-tomorrow morning.

-I'll be making the fire at 5.30am.

-Work hard, play hard.

-It's a great night. We've all

-relaxed and enjoyed ourselves.

-A little lubrication makes a huge

-difference, even for me, at my age.

-I'm not sure how long

-we'll carry on.

-Not because of the beer supply

-but we all need to get up at 6.00am.

-The best thing is not knowing

-what times it is.

-We'll just make the most of it.

-Mrs Ifan, come and join us.

-# A pure heart forever singing

-# Singing through

-the day and night #

-The party begins!

-Dawn is yet to break, but slowly...

-..the house wakes up

-after the previous night's party.

-My head's a little foggy...

-..this morning.

-We really, really enjoyed

-our twmpath.

-It was fun. We had a sing-song,

-we played skittles.

-And we had a dance.

-I really enjoyed the twmpath.

-It was a lot of fun. It was nice

-to get out of the house.

-We all had a laugh.

-Some beer... Well, a lot of beer.

-I could have had a lie-in

-until lunchtime.

-Unfortunately, I had things to do.

-Oof!

-Don't crack the mirror!

-I'm not going to look

-at myself again.

-Mr Davies shows no sympathy.

-It's hard to believe the girls were

-so enthusiastic yesterday morning.

-They're as quiet

-as a church mouse this morning.

-I'm supposed to keep quiet

-or I'll have a row. I can't win.

-I think Mr Davies

-has become power crazy.

-He had a go at me the other day.

-He had no right

-to speak to me like that.

-I think he thinks

-he's everyone's boss.

-He's not.

-Next time on Y Plas...

-..every grand supper

-needs entertainment.

-Ruth and Rowan find a big problem

-amongst the smalls.

-I've burnt the mistress's knickers.

-As the visitors arrive

-for a grand feast...

-..Dewi shows

-some unexpected talents.
