A Century of Fatherhood - 1x01 The Good Father

The opening part explodes the popular myth of the tyrannical Victorian-style father, whose children were seen and not heard. The majority of men did not harshly punish their children - they were good and devoted dads who took their job as provider and protector of their family very seriously.

Those who tragically lost their lives in the First World War are still fondly remembered by sons and daughters today. Some dads even took part in the father-craft movement that began in 1920 and which encouraged dads to change nappies and to form close relationships with their children from the very beginning.
