  The Innkeeper's Last Round: One Night at a Georgian Coaching Inn

  Aug 20, 20263 hourS0

  <p>Tonight's history for sleep: one full rainy night at a Georgian coaching inn on the great west road out of London, in the year 1786 - from the last coach of the evening swinging in under the lamplit arch to the first coach out in the watery morning sun. We follow the innkeeper on his last round of the night: the door barred, the clock wound its seven turns, the cellar visited, the banked fire looked at, the one lawful apple taken from the bowl. We climb the gallery behind the chambermaid and her warming pan. We stand in the...

  Curfew Bells and the Forgotten Hour: One Night in Medieval Provence

  Aug 17, 20262h 10mS0

  <p>Tonight's history for sleep: one full night in a medieval village in the south of France, in the year 1250 - from the curfew bell at dusk to the waking of the fire before dawn. We cover the hearth with the woman of the house and learn why the word "curfew" literally means cover the fire. We walk the starlit lanes behind the village watchman on his slow rounds. And in the deep middle of the night we lie awake with the whole village at the hour almost nobody remembers anymore: the quiet waking hour between first sleep and second...

  The Captain's Night: One Night at Sea in the Age of Sail

  Aug 13, 20262h 15mS0

  <p>Tonight's history for sleep: one full night at sea in the age of sail, in the year 1855, in the company of the master of a merchant sailing ship homeward bound from Melbourne with wool. We keep the captain's whole night, from the changing of the light to the morning stars - and along the way we answer the questions everyone wonders about such men: how a boy with a painted sea chest becomes a captain, examination by examination; whether the life was lived for money or for freedom, and what each actually paid; what the master of a ship...

  Before the City Woke: One Night in Victorian London's Shadows

  Aug 10, 20262h 15mS0

  <p>Tonight's history for sleep: one full night in gaslit Victorian London, in the year 1880. From a hilltop at dusk we watch the lamps come on in chains across four million sleepers' worth of streets, and then we walk the night through with the people who keep it: the lamplighter on his round of eighty lamps, the constable trying every door at two and a half miles an hour, the theatres putting themselves away and leaving one small flame burning on the stage, the cabmen and their steaming coffee stall at the kerb, the last train sliding out under the...

  The Servants' Night: One Night Below Stairs in an English Great House

  Aug 6, 20262h 5mS0

  <p>Tonight's history for sleep: one full night below stairs in an English great house, in the year 1900. We pass through the green baize door as the family goes up to bed, and we stay with the people who keep the night: the butler locking the silver away by lantern light, the housemaids banking twenty fires so not one goes out before dawn, the lamp room with its rows of little flames, the bells that summon by wire and spring, the nurse awake in the night nursery, the watchman on his soft rounds, the stables and the glasshouses defended by...
