Tony takes us back to the beginning of last century. It’s a time of elegance, innovation, class division and social progress: The Edwardian Period. Tony begins with two people who travelled on the Titanic. One is ship’s fireman, Arthur Priest, who tends the ship’s furnaces. The other is Lady’s Maid, Nellie Barber who follows her boss, American Mrs Cavendish, everywhere, prepping and mending her many dresses.
