Bygones is an Anglia Television documentary series exploring East Anglian history and traditional rural crafts.
[2] The series, and in particular the regular Bygones Specials featured many interviews with people who used to do traditional work now lost to history (such as using a horse-drawn plough or threshing) and investigation and preservation of surviving East Anglian culture.
The series was discontinued in 1989, but briefly brought back by Anglia TV in 2007 following an overwhelming vote from viewers on a programme they wanted reinstated.
Joice's collection of objects which featured in Bygones[6] was on display at Holkham Hall, Norfolk, from 1979, in the former stables.
[8] Bygones has a distinctive theme tune played on a player piano[citation needed] (not a barrel organ).
