The Deadly Everyday Items Of The Post War Kitchen | Hidden Killers | Timeline

sorry but an overreaction and hyperbole along with fearmongering . what a joke these are not hidden killers but stupid people over exaggerating everything

Suzannah in that dress with her feminine charms?? Time travel me there please:)

Wow, good quality, are the source 4K?

Why do they black out the news articles? Strange

omg make pot legal but blur out some words cause it might traumatize us /rolls eyes🤭

oh Susanna

Wages growing faster than house prices. Bless those times. Then the kids of those house buyers grew up and stole that from successive generations by stunting wages and jacking up house prices.

Brentwood Nylons!😂😂😂

When there kids did not come home they had it full blown duh!!

She needs to do the 1970's of America hidden killers

I could listen to Suzannah Lipscombe and Dr Suzy Lishman all day 😊❤

Why does the title say kitchen? It's the whole house they're looking at

God the sexism of only giving chemistry sets to boys. Even in the 00's my parents gave my brother a chemistry set and a kids microscope. I didn't get one. This is despite him having zero interest in science, whilst I was fascinated with science (even went on to a science degree). Unsurprisingly, he never used it, but I was still not allowed to.

And just think - all gadgets & gizmos come with instructions, diagrams, & owners' manuals today, & people STILL don't read them.

Their were hidden killers in the American home in the 1960's and 70's as well. I stayed well away from the electric stove or open flames in my PJs.

This is kinda melodramatic. "if they had mixed more if these two chemicals"
They are in small test tubes, the amount they poured was more than in those testtubes in the first place 🤦‍♂️.

She looks like a fancy British version of Cameron Diaz

Flats are safer than high heels

a consumer product that kills? I shall see them in court facing a wrongful death lawsuit and punitive damages /awards...!

They had a special boiler to heat water for the bath, so did they not have hot water in the kitchen sink? I grew up in California, and even the oldest homes there - built in the late 1800s - had a boiler that provided hot water for the whole house. It was usually located in the basement and properly vented to the outside. From the1940s on, suburban homes had modern-style gas (or electric) water heaters that typically were placed in the attached garage (if there was one) or in a specially build, well-vented closet along an outside wall. American homebuilders learned from the mistakes made in Britain and elsewhere and designed safer homes. Also, here we didn't have nearly the same issue of needing to retrofit homes built without indoor plumbing, especially in the Midwest and Western states. Most everything in the U.S. is "new" compared to U.K. and Europe, and constructed with safety in mind - lead paint and asbestos ceilings notwithstanding :-)

what a creepy odd girl she is

One Christmas my dad gave my 3 sisters and I a chemistry set and an electric train. He was in his 2nd childhood. I'm surprised we all survived till the next year.

First few moments, Amazing to see a bricklayer in a suit and tie.

Why can't we read the article why must you black out the text?

"wages grew faster than the cost of housing"... I can't even begin to imagine that concept.

So....the articles aer all grayed out. Thats totally useless !

Back in the fifty's, my dad told us to stay away from asbestos ---
But Then, he smoked Kent , with the Micronite filters --
That was a little chamber full of
ASBESTOS 😳🥺😱

Best looking Dr. on You Tube and love her videos~!!

POTASSIUM PERMANGANATE - HA - I remember that chemical well in my chemistry set in the 1960's - and creating some dangerous heat - but I certainly did have a lot of FUN with that chemistry set. And the asbestos mat to place bunsen burners on - and all the other dangerous things of my childhood - I remember them well. I also remember in my early 20's being exposed to asbestos on more than one occasion - thankfully now at 64, I am sure that I 'dodged that bullet'. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

Aero planes had similar issues with fire. The burning synthetics produced cyanide gasses.

Fast forward to the Grenfell tower disaster. When will they learn ?

Sadly every British post war home looks the same. 2 up 2 down on a cul de sac. Cookie cutter design. Now shabby, dated and crumbling. Abigail’s party shows the dystopic nature of this housing.

We survived. 😅

Previous comment being said, I do LOVE this series! I am all for technology, but while some people complain, safety is a must because... well, let's face it: The average person isn't terribly bright, and the rest of us have our own share of dumb luck and a moment of idiocy. ALL of us.

DIY culture is what got my family through some tough times by helping just keeping the house up, and it got me into theatre and technical design! Now, I design not only audio systems for concerts, but creative solutions for live theatre and performance audio. I relate it ALL to shows like "This Old House", "New Yankee Workshop" and Hot Rod TV inspiring me!

I remember in the late 60s early 70s there was warnings on THIS chemistry set. We found a used one in an abandoned house on the way to school. It was missing many pieces but we knew to leave it!

The Kay Chemistry Set must be the UK version of the American Gilbert Chemistry Set. The most dangerous set sold in the USA was the 1950’s Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy laboratory Set that had actual radioactive samples, it was pulled from the market after 5,000 were made not for safety but because it didn’t sell due to it’s high cost $49.99 in 1949/50 that’s $560 in 2021 dollars.

When I was five I stuck a key in an outlet, with predictable results. I attribute this to my future profession as an electrical engineer.

*Looks down in shame after rewiring my sewing machine*

I don't get the blacking out of text being read. Is that a British thing.
Love the home improvement guy "destroyed more homes than the Luftwaffe". That's funny British comedy there.🤣

This is so interesting!!!!! I love this!!

This is yet another incredible documentary ❤ I’ve watched it twice since it was first posted. 😊

I had the Suzy Homemaker Iron and ironing board when I was 5. That's just crazy. At least I didn't get burned. Lots of kids had that stuff. Plus, I had Creepy Crawlers.

Barry Buckner was the original Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor!

Anyone else wondering what happened to the Petrie dish from just wiping her hand with a paper towel?

I watch all of these because I have a crush on the host
