A Victorian comedy adventure in the style of Charles Dickens following shop owner Jedrington Secret-Past. Jedrington teams up with a seemingly charming new business partner, Harmswell Grimstone. As the Secret-Past family's fortunes rise, it looks like they are built on crumbling foundations indeed, especially when it is revealed that Conceptiva too has a secret that turns out to be even darker than Jedrington's own.

From the Red Button, a behind the scenes look at The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff which reveals how the programme is part of a unique experiment. It is the first television programme in over one hundred and seventeen years to be made using traditional Victorian television making techniques. See how the relatively fearless cast and crew coped with steam cameras, on-set urchins and the occasional cholera outbreak behind the scenes.
Using Victorian television production techniques has a dramatic effect on how a production is run. The cast and crew of The Old Bleak Shop of Stuff speak candidly about the production team, in particular the treatment of the various urchins and orphans on set.
Staying true to Victorian TV production techniques is taking its toll on the team. Digging for coal, steam powered cameras and giant candles are all being employed to create an authentic production.
