Annabel Crabb and the Ferrone family return to ABC in early September for Further Back in Time for Dinner.

The successor to Back in Time for Dinner, this ‘transports’ the family to living conditions from Federation to the 1940s.

Produced by Warner Bros. Australia, this includes guests Maggie Beer, Julie Bishop, Costa Georgiadis, Dr Clare Wright and Steph Tisdell.

What happens when you take an ordinary 2020 family back in time 120 years to immerse themselves in five decades of Australian history? Over five episodes, join Annabel Crabb as she guides the Ferrone family back through history as they cook, eat, and live, from Australia’s Federation to the 1940s. ABC’s Tuesday nights continue to be the home of must-see factual entertainment, when Further Back In Time for Dinner, airs from Tuesday 1 September at 8.30pm.

In 2018, Australia fell in love with the brave Ferrone family, who’ve returned to take on the time-travelling challenge once again. Peter, Carol, Julian, Sienna and Olivia, have already discovered the trials and joys of living through 60 years of Australian history from the 1950s right through to the present day and beyond in the hit series Back in Time For Dinner.

Now, this average family of five, who are all comfortably accustomed to the perks of a very modern world, are back and have to source, cook and eat their way ‘further back in time’ – through a plague, a pandemic, two World Wars and the Great Depression. The Ferrones will encounter many parallels in history that we are currently experiencing in 2020.

Along the way, the family will also meet remarkable people who have fascinating tales of the times or have played a part in our food revolution. Among the surprise guests at the dinner table are beloved cook Maggie Beer, former Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, our favourite green thumb Costa Georgiadis, historian and author Dr Clare Wright and comedian Steph Tisdell.

With the visually compelling transformation of a house built in the 1900s, and extraordinary archival material, Further Back in Time for Dinner is rich with the pleasure of discovery as well as the gob-smacking disbelief at how we lived our lives as a fledgling nation. Further Back In Time For Dinner helps us understand our world today by looking into the past.

Production Credits: Further Back in Time for Dinner is a Warner Bros. International Production, produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Host: Annabel Crabb, Executive Producer: Penny McWhirter, Warner Bros. International Head of Television: Shaun Murphy, Executive Producer, ABC Factual: Ben Commens, ABC Factual Manager: Julie Hanna.

8:30pm Tuesday September 1 on ABC.

  1. I saw the 1900 house. Lovely house they found, and a nice small prepared vegetable garden. I think the set up was great. However some of the reactions from the family were over the top. The daughter’s reaction to milking the cow was oh-so-precious. As a teenager I was taken to a dairy, showed what to do and I got down and milked the cow. No yuk moment at all; there was a job to be done. I had never been in a dairy before. I found it fun. The daughter in this series was precious. What sort of removed from reality life has she been living? Also with the scene with the calf’s head. Here I found where the daughter got her preciousness; from her mother. Yes, a calf’s head would be a surprise, but I presume they eat meat, as it was never said they don’t. So, why did they find the need to carry on so much? Where did they imagine the meat they have been eating came from? It didn’t…

  2. This family is gold….the producers really lucked out….that all members were in and put there all into these series…I cannot wait for this one…❣

  3. Awesome, I really enjoyed the last series.
    This one looks like it’s going to be emotional as they go through the events that transpired over the eras.
    Dumb question but where did they find all the props to do all the things, like the old cars, the old woodfire ovens and tvs.

  4. I’m really looking forward to this. I really enjoyed the first series. The mother really struggled to cope in the 50’s. Be interesting to see how she copes with earlier times than that.
