Title Time Crashers - Episode 5 Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet Channel 4 Media type Television Duration/Length/Size 60 minutes Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 21/09/15 Description "In this six-part immersive history series presented by Sir Tony Robinson, ten famous faces are leaving the 21st century behind and taking a leap into the unknown. They're going to 'crash' land into six different historical worlds and six different moments in British history but until they arrive they have no idea where - or when - they're going. In each of the six spectacularly recreated worlds they'll be stripped of their celebrity status and fully immersed in the past - wearing the clothes, eating the food and doing the jobs. From an Elizabethan feast and a medieval joust to an Edwardian shooting party they'll have to pull off assignments that were all in a day's work for ordinary Britons of the past."
"In episode 5, It’s 1885 and the celebrities are in a Victorian fishery where they have to fulfil a huge order for Billingsgate market, but the conditions are harsh and the work is backbreaking."
Tony Richards was invited to be historical consultant and wet plate collodion photographer. He captured glass plate negatives of the cast on set and later printed the results as historic Van Dyke Brown prints.Producer/Author Wall to Wall URL https://www.walltowall.co.uk/program/1185/time-crashers Persons Tony Richards
