How much contact did participants have with the outside world. Were they told about 11 September for example?
The participants had some contact with the outside world through meeting people – the family in particular entertained quite a lot. In terms of media – the participants were pretty isolated. There was no television, radio or newspapers. The only papers they received were Edwardian. Some people did occasionally catch news headlines on the papers in the local shop. In terms of September 11, the production team did inform the participants of the event, though very little detail was gone into.
