Victorian Pharmacy is a
historical documentary TV series in four parts, first shown on BBC Two
in July 2010. It was made for the BBC by independent production company
Lion Television. It was filmed at Blists Hill Victorian Town in
Shropshire. It is a historical documentary that looks at life in the
19th Century and how people attempted to cure common ailments. Since
some of the ingredients of Victorian remedies are now either illegal or
known to be dangerous, Nick Barber often uses his modern pharmaceutical
knowledge to produce similar products without those ingredients. The
other main presenters are Tom Quick, a PhD student, and Ruth Goodman, a
domestic historian who also appeared in Tales from the Green Valley,
Victorian Farm and Edwardian Farm.
