'Back in Time for the Weekend' was a history-based series that explored how families' leisure activities have changed over the decades since 1950. Each week, the Ashby Hawkins family gave up their modern technology and traveled back in time to experience life in a different era, with their home serving as a makeshift time machine. Guided by presenters Giles Coren and Polly Russell, the show was rooted in the detailed data from The Family Expenditure Survey, which tracked family spending and leisure habits from the 1950s through the 1990s.
The series was a documentary-style program that aimed to illustrate the social and cultural shifts in family life over the second half of the 20th century. It was a one-season show with six episodes, each lasting approximately 60 minutes. The cast included Polly Russell and Giles Coren, who provided context and commentary throughout the series. The show did not have a rated viewer score.
