While some of us love nothing more than the mod cons of the 21st century, some people despise the fact that society has become so modernised.
BBC Two’s The 1900 Island sees four families take part in a unique life experience.
They’re spending some time living as if its the year 1900, escaping the modern world and becoming a small fishing community.
They face hunger, extreme weather conditions experience life without running water or electricity.
