The History Hour · The birth of the modern fitted kitchen and the creation of Cluedo · 17 Jan 2026 podcast

Hello and welcome to the History Hour from the BBC World Service with me, Max Pearson, the past brought to life by those who were there.

This week we learn some surprising details about the origins of the board game Cluedo, including the first murder weapons.

Plus the deadly floods and mudslides of 1999 in Venezuela.

Afghan Star, the TV talent contest that flourished when the Taliban weren't in power.

And the spread of the 1986 computer virus, thought to be the world's first.

But first, we're heading into the kitchen.

This is a really special kitchen.

It comes from the 1920s and was designed by the Austrian architect Margarita Schutelechotsky.

Her plan for a highly functional food preparation workspace, the Frankfurt kitchen, is credited as being the first modern fitted kitchen, as Jill Kersley has been finding out.

Christina Zwingli was telling Jill Kersley there about the remarkable Margarita Schutte-Lochotzky, and her influence on modern living can hardly be overstated.

Dr Annie Gray is a food historian and admirer of the Frankfurt kitchen.

Now, as we heard, it was a sensation back in the day in the 1920s, but what is it that you like about it so much all these years on?

Well, I think it's a great thing.

And it was supposed to be widely accessible.
