The experiment calledÌý'Mass Observation'Ìýwas carried out by an organisation backed by the Government which aimed to record everyday life in Britain.Ìý In 2002, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Lancashire's Paul O'Gorman looked into the project which aimed to find out about the working classes in Lancashire. In reality, the study was a group of highly educated academics with posh accents who began a survey to try to discover how we lived our lives by asking some pretty inane questions. Victoria Wood's TV drama 'Housewife 49' was based on a Lancashire housewife's 'Mass Observation' diary.
