## Resource

Wait... They Did What?! is the question you’ll be asking after travelling back through modern history with comedian Tilly Oddy-Black. Perfect for kids aged 8 and over, Wait…They Did What?! unearths the weird, wild and outright scandalous common practices of people in the olden days... like letting kids buy fireworks, banning bikinis on the beach, putting blood-sucking leeches on sick people, and riding in cars without seatbelts. Credits: Host: Tilly Oddy-Black Producers: Samantha Turnbull and Soumia Bella Sound engineer: Que Nguyen Archive researchers: Michael Osmond and Carolyn Cage Composer: David McDonald Executive producers: Veronica Milsom and Alex Lollback
