ABC TV’s "Back in Time for the Corner Shop" series starts its production in Australia

ABC TV’s "Back In Time For The Corner Shop" (5x60mins) started its production in Sydney, Australia. The program hosted by Annabel Crabb and the Ferrone family is produced by Warner Bros International and will take Australian audiences on a historical journey.

In the latest installment of this much-loved living-history series, the Ferrones will experience close to 150 years of running a family-owned corner shop. From meat pies to milkshakes, from salami to dim sims, from fads to frozen foods, this series will go beyond the family home into our neighbourhoods to tell the story of a changing Australia.

Jennifer Collins, ABC Head of Factual and Culture, said; “We are thrilled to be able to see the Ferrones heading back in time again, this time running an Aussie institution – the corner shop. This format is such a wonderful way to explore Australian history in a way that is engaging, immersive and family friendly. The series starts in the 1850s and ends in the 1990s, which is a lot of time travel for one family!”

Warner Bros. International, Head of Entertainment, Caroline Swift said; “Who doesn’t have great memories of their local corner shop. With friendly store owners, groceries ‘on tick,’ kids carefully picking their lollies and gossip a plenty, the Corner Shop was once an integral daily part of Australian communities. 'Back in time for The Corner Shop' leaves no stone unturned with the Ferrone’s tackling the evolution from the mid 1800’s through to the last-minute convenience of the 21st Century.”
