In 70 countries around the world we change the time twice a year,
giving us longer evenings in summer.


Why did we start doing this? Why do some people love it, others
hate it, and will we ever stop doing it altogether?


Early ideas about timekeeping

Romans & hours that were longer or shorter than 60
minutes

When every town had its own time zone

The invention of standard time zones

The Earth's tilt and the reason days are longer and shorter
by season

The proposals to create Daylight Saving Time: collecting
insects & playing golf

Starting to use Daylight Saving Time

Daylight Saving Time in the 20th century

Reasons to keep Daylight Saving Time: wellbeing, reducing
crime, reducing accidents, businesses that benefit from it

Reasons to get rid of Daylight Saving Time: doesn't save
energy, it's annoying to change, lost productivity, health
disadvantages, businesses that don't like it

Farmers in the north of Scotland

When the UK kept Daylight Saving Time all year round

Complications with Daylight Saving Time when communicating
between time zones

Getting rid of Daylight Saving Time?

Changing the clocks twice a year at the Queen's residences
