If Walls Could Talk: An Intimate History of the Home” (it comes out in the U.S. next year), accompanied a four-part BBC television series of the same name. In a land of ponderous dons, Dr. Lucy, a thirty-seven-year-old bluestocking with a barrette, has caused a sensation. For one episode, Worsley, who seemed to be wearing nothing but a marcel wave, reenacted an Art Deco-era bubble bath. ]]> http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/12/the-kings-meal-lucy-worsley/feed/ 0 http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/09/gatwick-soars-as-skies-fall/ http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/09/gatwick-soars-as-skies-fall/#comments Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:19:45 +0000 admin http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/09/gatwick-soars-as-skies-fall/ At 9pm, Sky1 won the slot with the debut of new documentary Inside Gatwick. The series, made by Silver River, took off with 488,800 (2.1%). The doc, about an £800m overhaul of the London airport, was comfortably above Sky1’s year-to-date slot average of 180,800 (0.75%).]]> http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/09/gatwick-soars-as-skies-fall/feed/ 0 http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-3/ http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-3/#comments Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:01:37 +0000 Editor http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-3/ [Continue Reading]]]> http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-3/feed/ 0 http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-2/ http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-2/#comments Fri, 08 Jul 2011 12:56:06 +0000 Editor http://www.silverriver.tv/?p=1862 Silver River is producing Channel 4’s first primetime AFP series - an ambitious multiplatform project that will attempt to tap into the British public’s latent talents. The 6 x 60-min HIDDEN TALENT will be presented by Radio 5 Live’s Richard Bacon. C4 commissioning editor Tanya Shaw said: “This cross-platform commission presents an exciting opportunity not only for the individuals featured in the series but also for the audience at home, who can take part in a series of specially designed interactive tests on the show’s website to uncover their own hidden potential.” Silver River chief executive and executive producer Daisy Goodwin said: “We are finding people with amazing aptitudes they knew nothing about - one person said it was like discovering a superpower”.]]> http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/07/silver-river-to-bring-afp-to-c4-primetime-2/feed/ 0 http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/04/if-walls-could-talk-the-history-of-the-home-the-guardian-20th-april-2011/ http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/04/if-walls-could-talk-the-history-of-the-home-the-guardian-20th-april-2011/#comments Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:15:25 +0000 Editor http://www.silverriver.tv/?p=1844 by Sam Wollaston Dr Lucy Worsley, who's chief curator of Historic Royal Palaces, is brilliant. She isn't shy. She tries out an 18th-century secret standing-up under-the-dress scoop-shaped chamber pot ("No one knows what I'm doing!"). She gets a man called Brian to pee into a jug, because urine was used as a stain remover for the laundry ("Go forth and do your duty!"). And it's as infectious as the plague. They washed in bathhouses, and pooed from a great height into the river. And then they wiped their bottoms on bundles of straw called arse wisp.]]> http://www.silverriver.tv/2011/04/if-walls-could-talk-the-history-of-the-home-the-guardian-20th-april-2011/feed/ 0
