In real life the farmer retired and the new owners would not allow filming to continue there. But they could have built a cheapish but realistic looking replica (like the EastEnders set facades). Or used stock shots, or found a lookalike farmhouse and kept the interior set.
@@pyewackett5 I suppose there was not the budget at the time to build a replica farmhouse, and they may have tried looking for lookalike but was unable to. May be cheaper to just write the original farmhouse out altogether than fork out on a replica. The Sugdens then moved to Hawthorn Cottage which had featured in the show 1973-1976.
@@Uksoapfan Yeah a lookalike would have been a better idea, but like you mention I guess they couldn't find one. But given how the whole exterior set moved in a few years from a real life village to a purpose built set which didn't really look anything like the previous place they could have got away with it!
This has been leading up to the demise of the Emmerdale Farmhouse, due to subsidence, with the sticking doors and cracks in recent episodes. It is the beginning of the end of the original Emmerdale Farm and subtle storylines seeing a shift in characters building up to the plane crash; hence the introduction of Leonard Kempinsky, the unlikely marriage of Eric and Elizabeth Pollard; bringing Archie and Nick to the forefront of so many scenes and the start of Kim's change of character. We'll have the awful Windsors soon.
By 1994/1995 it had become a totally different show bar a few characters and locations. 1993-1994 saw the exit of the original farm and Demdyke Row plus the farming aspect was ditched. And Joe and Annie left in 1994. The Glovers were quite awful as well, then the Dingles arrived in late 1994. In 1992 it still felt like Emmerdale Farm. Just 3 years later, it felt like a totally new show. Corrie and EE never went for a radical change in style like Emmerdale did.
@@Uksoapfan Corrie got a lot more dangerous when they entered the 2000s and Enders has largely been the same, although some characters have been taken up to 11 (Phil = Downright evil, Ian = Smug and Cowardly, etc) Emmerdale HAD to change to survive.
@@Uksoapfan Corrie and EE were thrashing it in the ratings at the time though, it needed some more oomph to bring in viewers. I didn't watch it back then, but started to around 1996 because my sister was into it with stories such as Kim's affair with Dave.
The sad demise of the original farmhouse.
Can't believe the storyline needed the end of the farmhouse. The beginning of the end in my opinion

It had to go then.

Viv Windsor horrible character And Boring Vic

Tractor nearly falling down a sinkhole ( potentially killing Jack). Wonder if the writers had already had the idea of the plane explosion.
Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
Coffee is very popular in this episode!!
3:55 Classic Dannii Minogue track playing in the background!
6:30 - Kathy says “Chris the only man in my life “
