A Timeshift documentary telling the story of Britain's popular affection for pigeons and why it has nosedived in recent decades due to a growing distaste for what they leave behind, along with legislation, has seen them chased out of public spaces.
This British history documentary tells the story of a remarkable bird (the pigeon). As a racer, messenger, and even beauty pageant contestant, the humble pigeon has been a steadfast part of British life for centuries.
Pigeons have served in two world wars, flown over oceans, and crossed barriers of age, class, and race to take their place as man's best feathered friend. Meanwhile, pigeon fanciers have contrived to make them faster and more eye-catching, using backyard genetics to breed the perfect bird, and they're determined to keep their pastime alive. So what does the future hold for the 21st-century pigeon?
Timeshift is one of Britain’s most celebrated documentary series, offering a sweeping, narrative-driven exploration of the nation’s social, cultural, technological, and everyday history. From post-war housing and lost industries to pirate radio, youth culture, transport revolutions, and forgotten television experiments, Timeshift captures how ordinary lives shaped modern Britain.
Using rare archive footage, first-hand testimony, and immersive storytelling, each episode travels back to a defining moment in British life — revealing how the past still echoes through today’s society.
