Landmarks: Children in Victorian Britain
Children in Victorian Britain is a unit of the BBC Schools TV series Landmarks from the 2000s, covering history for primary school pupils.
A game show about historical research, in which contestants choose a type of evidence to look at about the experiences of children in Victorian Britain and then answer questions about it posed by CBBC presenter Angellica Bell.
The evidence available from the hopscotch-style studio game board includes images, documents, drama clips, and video clips in which reporter Lindsey Fallow visits the Black Country Living Museum and Quarry Bank Mill to investigate Victorian times.

Primary History
The parent series Landmarks was discontinued shortly after this unit's first broadcast in 2002, and replaced by separate series of Primary Geography and Primary History. Children in Victorian Britain was thereafter repeated as part of Primary History, with new opening titles but otherwise unchanged, including verbal introductions to Landmarks and the prominent letter L logo on TV screens.
