and exploring life as it was


during a particular era. In


season two, she begins in Dover


during World War II, and looks


into the evacuation of Dunkirk,


how members of the Auxiliary


Territorial Service coped during


the Battle of Britain, and the


work of the land girls. Other


episodes feature Edwardian


Cardiff, Civil-War Oxford and


Plantagenet Canterbury.

gardening expert Charlie
Dimmock, who has been on
British television since the late

Harry and David Rich and
homeowners get to choose
between their designs.

season is a reunion with Billy
Joel. Reunion, you say? Joel
and Johnson played together?
Why, yes. In 2014, Joel invited
his pal onstage at Madison
Square for a rousing rendition
of You Shook Me All Night Long


  • and, it must be said, turned
    on a nice backing vocal.
