The 2009 House

Florence and KanYe thought it would be fun living in The 2009 House, but they were shocked when their modern key worker podule was redecorated in traditional 2009 style - modelled on the Big Brother house. 'Look at all the mirrors!' shrieked Florence. 'And the en-suite's been turned into a diary room.' Florence has been given a typical 2009 job - she's a celebrity chef - and KanYe has given up his modern job of Alien Liason Officer to take up the traditional role of unemployed hedge fund broker. Their children Enid and Reginald have been taken out of their oxygen bubble in the OxBridge Dome and Enid has been given a eating disorder and breast implants and Reginald has been dressed as the dead Michael Jackson.

I really enjoyed Electric Dreams, but then ever since The 1900 House I've loved these time-warp documentaries. There's nothing I would like more than being forced to live in the seventies again – in fact, anyone who's been to my flat will confirm that I'm half way there. It's interesting that this series is focussing on the technological angle of the age, ticking its way through the decade via the introduction of various gadgets to the stranded family. The introduction of Pong to the family was a particular highlight. We never had Pong. We got a BBCB in 1984. But even the furnishings were overshadowed by the glamorous tech-support geek's gushing interview with Sir Clive Sinclair, a man so controlled and unimpressed by her admiration he may as well have pissed on her pocket calculator and laughed as it exploded.

The biggest revelations for me were that Cortinas didn't have wing mirrors and that these people didn't like their Soda Stream (philistines). And the most nostalgic moment was that recording of the show coincided with Snow Day earlier this year, and I found myself nostalgic for my childhood when the house was fucking freezing in the winter because we only had a gas fire in the living room. Next week in the eighties I suspect it's going to be uncannily like Adam and Joe.
