- Teenage Terry works on a building site as tea boy. We see him on a roof sawing wood, two other men are making the roof, in the background a large housing estate under construction. Terry is next seen in a suit walking down the High Street, he enters a Naval Recruitment centre. He is questioned by a recruitment officer. He takes a written test,an eye test, and is informed of possible jobs in the navy. As the jobs are described Terry is seen doing all of them, firing missiles from a battleship, clambering up the side of a ship as part of a boarding party, icing a cake, working in a surgery, as a stores accountant noting items as they come aboard, working in the radio room, fixing a helicopter, and even as Captain of the ship in full uniform on the bridge, and marching along with rifle.
Terry's mum talks to her neighbour as they walk down a terraced street, followed by another discussion in the house with Terry and his brother.
Terry on a train to Portsmouth, he climbs down from a truck with other recruits and lines up for his uniform. Cap band reads "H.M.S. Raleigh". Trained cadets are seen marching in the camp. We see Terry and other cadets during their training which includes: having a medical, eating in the mess, parade marching and rifle drill, barrack room kit inspection, rifle firing on a range, assault training crossing a river by rope while explosions are going off. During this Terry falls into the river. Classroom lessons, rowing a whaler, playing snooker in the Mess, below decks fixing a leaking hull, fire fighting drill, life saving in the swimming pool.
Terry on parade after completing initial training. He walks with his proud mum with other cadets in the background. He tells her he now has to go to Collingwood for more advanced training. We now see him doing more technical training, dials switches and video screens. Calibrating radar and classroom lessons with talk of magnetic fields and practical work on electric motors
Back home Terry and his brother row and prepare for a party. Very good teenage 60's short skirt party with dancing.

Look how CLEAN the streets were, how times have changed.
just looks cleaner on these older cameras as don't pick up the grub
you might want to see what the slums in london and other major cities looked like
I was around then and the strreets were full of dog crap. Seems to have been airbrushed out of old films and tv. Dont know how but I've yet to see a street with dog crap in it in film/tv, odd.
Very few immigrants back them, that's why 🤷
@@AlexanderDavidson-lr7dgabsolutely. Most places were filthy. x
I’d give anything to go back . Life was way so much better . ❤
You and everybody else😊
Ditto
I’d give anything to get them roofers to put a new roof on my house
nostalgia - it`s not what it used to be
@@vickikay54Alot of people wouldn't appreciate it if we did go back. People have changed.
Roger Tonge Of crossroads fame in his younger days remember as Roger got older and he was in crossroads for nearly 15 years then his disability kicked in, rendering him a wheelchair user and in many ways perfect for crossroads because it was a first time a disabled person was seen on television in a soap opera …
HE WAS SANDY IN CROSSROADS IN THE WHEELCHAIR
OMG...this short was superb@@chriswaring5565
@@chriswaring5565 thought he looked familiar ...wow
He died aged 35. Really young that.
Yeah he succumbed to heroin in a brothel not far from the motel . His wheelchair was sold for spare parts at British Leyland , very sad.@@pataleno
What an amazing snapshot of what this country once was, oh to be able to go back
If you like "amazing snapshot"s from back then, you should watch the "Look at Life" series.
Looks dreadful, a nation full of wife beaters who went to the pub 5 times a week
They teach children that none white people built Stonehenge, Roman Britain was black and that immigrants rebuilt Britain after the war. All lies and propaganda.
Back in the days when we actually had a functioning navy, and a functional country.
Those carpenters pitching a roof the old way bought back memories of 1961
I am right there with you my friend , finished my apprenticeship as a carpenter joiner 1965 great times.
Them birds mouths on the purlings way to much timber out ahh the good old days 🧐
Yep great times finished mine in 1969. No throwaway saws then. 😀@@spiderbowels
@@mikemcsweeney4753 just sharpened my grandads old diston.
Still have mine.. Just a shame it's rusting away in the shed. Took me weeks of saving to buy it on a apprenticeship wage. 🤥@@derekroberts8637
People always say how they miss previous decades but it’s not those times they miss it’s your youth you miss. Every generation believes their childhood through to adulthood were the best days to be alive but the generation before you would disagree. It’s your youth you miss because that’s the most magical time for most
Wrong. Put me there at my current age please.
I agree 💯 but not in this present day
England is in terminal decline
Wrong! Today's England is an open sewer compared to the 1960s.
Tempting to think that. But my parents and grand parents who lived through 2 world wars and a economic depression never got tired of telling me how lucky I was being a teenager in the 70's. They never wished to go back like we do today.
@rude2870 You're wrong as usual.
Why was this Britain destroyed? People are SO depressed now.
Kalergi plan, There can be no homogenous gentile nations, it poses a threat to a certain ethnic tribe….
The globalists thought - and still think - that they know best.
because depressed people are mentally weak & easily controlled. it’s all very deliberate…
Maybe because they don't know how lucky they are. Back then for most there was no central heating, no cars, no supermarkets, no foreign holidays, TVs were rented not owned, ditto 70% of houses, a lot still had outside toilets, fridges & washing machines were a luxury, further education even to 18 was unusual, jobs were mostly repetitive & boring, and the chances of improving your lot were limited.
@@Benzknees Are you sure you've got the right century? You may be surprised to learn that not only were there cars in the 1960s, but also supermarkets and foreign holidays.
People rented TVs because this tended to be more economical, and they were eligible to receive the next model when it came out.Very few properties had anything but indoor toilets then, even in the poorer type of housing.
Further education to 18 was unnecessary because more rigorous intellectual standards ensured that GCE O Levels sufficed for most occupations, even clerical ones. Universities then were reserved for the academically gifted (who were given full grants), not used to warehouse young people for 3 or 4 years (to keep them off the unemployment statistics) while saddling them with debt.
If you imagine that boring jobs have been done away with then you are living in some kind of privileged bubble. I would be interested to know how old you are.
Back when we had a country worth saving
You are not wrong. This country is broken and it’s going to get worse😢😢
100% mucker
Every generation has its moaners saying it was better in the past. Every generation.
@@user-be2il8wu6s But something has seriously gone wrong in todays world. It really has. I'm 39, and compared to what Britain was like when I was 20 it is vastly different now. Mass immigration without proper foundations and infrastructure in place and rapid technological advancements are just two of the issues that have changed the face of this country, its people and its land.
I blame all of the people from back then, it was them that shaped the world we live in now. You can't blame the young people of today for a world that they did not create.
People were just more community spirited and content then. A hard days work for a full days pay, treat people as you find them, call a spade a spade, learning a trade was a rite of passage passed down from generation to generation- people spoke properly, dressed properly, didn’t take themselves too seriously, and drank buckets of tea. I can’t believe it’s all gone in just my lifetime.
Thank God for that , it's all nostalgia mate , young people were not recognised for their skills and talents, anyone not white was relegated to menial jobs, I'm 54 the past wasn't all that great, the 70s and 80s were awful, good music though
@@valley_robotthat’s what’s better ?
“Young people not being recognised “ ?
😂
Modern life is rubbish, people are depressed and ill.
Our society is selfish and greedy and we have no sense of community any more .
@@PamelaD963 no I think you misread,young people in the past were not recognised for their talent and skills, that's different now, young people are at the cutting edge of invention and technology, minority people being used as cheap labour for menial jobs was a horrendous slight on our hard working brothers and sisters who came from our commenwealth countries to live in great Britain and were faced with racism and terrible job prospects
@@valley_robot young people now are at the cutting edge of building your digital panopticon, which will affect everyone .
There was no “minorities” in the 70s doing menial jobs…maybe a few inLondon …but I don’t know where you got the idea that people from the commonwealth ( Australia, Canada ?) were forced to come to the U.K. to be cleaners ?
Now we have modern slavery , beheadings , machete attacks, stabbings and a million bad takeaways not to mention the money being funnelled out of the country to third world nations.
But I suppose you can watch wars live on your iPhone if you think that’s progress.
Luton, It's definitely changed since then and not for the better.
Why do u hate the working class for?
@@Gothicgamer-rz2rxwhere does he say that !??
@@user-jh8no1zb9e he's ant-communist communism is pro working class and people who support destroying the working class ideology of socialism and communism that means they clearly are connected with ideology that hates the working class such as capitalism, monarchy,fascism and any other ideology
45 Mosques in Luton now. It's not England.
@johnpaulnash8144 so this country has freedom of religion ur the type that claims to be a "patriot" while simultaneously going against our values one of which is freedom of religion if there was 0 mosques like u want that would go against the freedom of religion
This brought back memories. I joined the Royal Navy at 15 and went to HMS Ganges in 1964. Had a great 12 years. Wish I had stayed in and done another 12.
Hindsight is wonderful isn't it.... l was in the Merchant Navy, looking back it was the greatest time of my life
You avoided the Falklands ?
@@anthonydowling3356 Yes I had left by then. Upsetting times though.
I used to work on the building sites in the 80s, when i think about it i was like a part time stunt man,
No victimhood .. no pretend racism.. no virtue signalling … no worries.
No non-whites in the video, no acknowledgement of systemic racism....but no Dad in the picture either, so some things haven't changed.
Absolute bliss!
bno racism because it was a homogeneous country
Just real racism, none of that pretend stuff.
Eh?😂
what a beautiful society it once was.
Shame the zionist banking kabal succeeded in destroying it😢
Shame it was sold to the red shield banking family.
@@derekroberts8637 and had Islam shoed down our throught, with black rights
The irony of you saying something like that with your profile pic.
@@i_know_youre_right_but I reckon
This is something I could watch every time I’m in that certain mood and it would fit perfectly 👌
Wow! what a paradise we lived in then.
We were warned but didn't heed .
until you know what came in
And then it all went (and is still going) to ratshit. Yup ! Enoch told us - but would we listen. !!
A world full of neon-lefties and change- culture cretins have a lot to be answerable for.
It does look like it, but remember things were not so good for women, for example:
No Equal Pay Act, no pill unless you were married, no such thing as rape within marriage, couldn't get HP without your husband's signature, sexual harassment EVERYWHERE and no one batted an eyelid. No to mention the awful, terrible time the gays had.
There was lots of opposition, but as now, it went unheeded.
The Day`s before Fluorescent Jackets and Hard Hats with a Pre Common Market attitude for work . Love it !
When this was filmed there were 300 recorded work-place deaths in construction, last year 45. Love it!
@@arfski where did you get this info? I'd like to see it.
@@arfski
those statistics are meaningless unless you provide the sector workforce numbers..
the good old days
When Luton was a lovely old town.
If only Harpenden knew what was to happen next door they'd placed it somewhere else.
i just moved back to England from the US - what happened to Luton
45 Mosques in Luton now.
Tory and Labour have imposed MASS IMMIGRATION 15 Million foreign nationals have increased the population of the UK..... and they keep coming 🤦
Hi...yes sandy from crossroads ...younger..
This takes me back to my apprentiship on building sites in 1955 as a carpenter. I made tea on average for 40 workmen each one liked it different in his own mug and I had to remember the brew and in which mug. The Foreman was watching discreetly seeing how I coped. The previous apprentice who had this task showed me how he managed the tasks pointing out the awkward beggers. Also the ones you could get in there good books with an occasional biscuit or piece of cake. The foreman was also watching your predecessor, how well did he partake his know how? This decided on his next task it could be one that demanded a limited skill such as backing off for the wood machinist learning safety practises. How he coped decided what his next required skill would be or he would take him to oneside and say listen son I dont think you will make a carpenter but there a place here for you as a labourer. And that is how one progressed and how after 12months the Foreman could advise management by, yes this lads OK sign him up on his endentures.
Very cool 😎 .
Thanks for this insight into how it worked back then.
What a way to start a career, making tea 40 different ways for a bunch of tossers. Bloody load of nonsense, thank goodness those days are gone.
My first job labouring in Victoria 1986
Tea was almost a religious ceremony, learnt so much at that place
Great times, the guys were like a cast from Minder! Such happy times
@@pigknickers2975 I bet you did not get it wrong
How the mighty have fallen, look at England today it's a great pity and very sad.
I was at Raleigh Nov 71, brought back good memories.
Discipline and respect back then. Not like now. Nil respect for anybody, no discipline. Trash thrown in the streets. Who’s responsible ? Well I gotta say, it all started in the 80’s under Thatcher. Buy this, invest in that, greed is good. It’s turned us all into horrible human beings where the only person who matters is me, me , me. Current government just as bad, setting a poor example for everyone else, lining their pockets at the expense of the populace. Wouldn’t it be great to rewind back to these times ?
I think it's a bit illogical to blame it
on one person - there's some deeper trend surely
You are absolutely correct, my friend. We all live now in a thoroughly Dystopian 1984-ish world made ever more frightening to us all - because we cannot live our lives at a fast computer-generated pace and under constant CCTV surveillance; it's unnatural to do so. And the worst thing of all is that everyone is now encouraged to inform on their neighbours - which just leads to distrust and disharmony. It's worth re-reading some Dystopian novels like '1984' or 'Lord of the Flies' to see how society has evolved from the twentieth Century into today's dysfunctional and ever-more fractured and unstable world that we all inhabit.
we didn't have any shows like this in the USA in the day. Very good.
"Thanks, but somehow I see my future as having Noele Gordon as my Mum and helping to run a motel in the West Midlands". It was, in other words, the usual story for so many naval recruits at that time.
Yeah, that's right... Sandy Richardson.
He certainly missed making the tea when it was his turn in the barrel!
😂😂
No FCs on site all locals and even an apprentice that’s what it was like then really nice and lovely.
Isn’t the boy the guy who played Sandy Richardson in the tv soap Crossroads?
thats what i was thinking. no wheelchair though 🧐
I think it is Roger Tonge but having trawled the internet can’t find any info.
Yes Sandy without the wheelchair
Yes, Roger Tonge
He was fooling us all along …….he can walk
Those are Wimpey houses. Its a very common design, they were built on the 60s and theyres loads of th across the country
Yes I was thinking the same. I used to live in one. They mixed dorma style houses and normal style.
Decent builds compared to today’s rubbish.
😊it was the nostalgia from seeing the house styles that drew me in! My parents paid around 7k for one of the semi-detached houses in 1971. I lived there with my family from age 2 to age 20, good times ❤
The difference;
Back then there were exiting inventions in all aspects of life that supposedly had the potential to make life better, longer.
In reality the relatively low tech world was interactive personally
Coraderie strong bonds of friendship and a social conscience the result.
Great times.
Today, people don’t know their neighbours interact with only technology and future developments create fear.
This is the last hurrah
Before a world reset
This is literally a word salad, are you even British comrade?
Those old enough and lucky enough to have lived in these times what a wonderful country we had, how did it go from this to the 3rd world crap hole we have now!
Well governments and their policies didn't vote themselves in did they?
@@latorregolf I really don't remember voting for a party that said they'd open the borders. I do remember voting against it, and being ignored.
😂😂
pathetic governments
Through the laws of Karma..
What a meticulous insight into a young man's life's journey. From the drudgery that many experienced on civvy street, to the exacting disciplines of military training. Great prodution!!
Yea it's sandy richardson
The Imperial War Museum collection lists this film as 1965 but it cannot be as early as that. The Martin/Coulter track played towards the end dates from 1967. I'd suggest this film was made in 1968.
There'll destroy all trace of this in 50 years
No quotas cuz you didn't need them.
I enjoyed that..😊
The mum was attractive
Isn't that Sandy Richardson off Crossraods? Nice to see him so young and fit - died young.. R.I.P Roger Tonge
Yes correct 👍🏻
God.. innocent times...
There was nothing innocent about encouraging young lads to become canon fodder!

This is absolutely brilliant.
Fantastic! And to some extent brings back many memories of my own training as an L albeit in HMS Sultan MTG. 22 years an MEM(L), 15 of which as a PO.
Everything about this film is simply magic
Great Times.
Thank You.👍
People on here moaning about the state of this country well it’s all by design and you have all voted either way for the system thus you have all destroyed what you claim you valued. Wake up.
You miserable git. Who did you vote for? 🥱
You sound like a member of just stop oil 😂
Taking positives from this … they can’t take from you what you’ve already had!
ROGER TONG AS TERRY BEFORE JOINING CROSSROADS PLAYING THE PART OF SANDY IN THE WHEELCHAIR WITH THE WOBBLY SCENERY AND PHONES THAT STILL RANG WHEN THEY PICKED THE RECIVER UP
Amazing to think when 'Crossroads' started in 1964 it was still common practice to broadcast episodes live, and performed almost as if it were a small scale theatre production, but in a tv studio. As with theatre, you carried on, whatever disasters befell the production.
Groovy music Man…

Well, man up and face your collective Karma! The curses of the people you guys subjugated, humiliated, and looted are finally working
Fantastic. Best job going. Jolly Jack loved it laugh a minute Great to see what it was like in the day. Rum tot the lot.
My dad joined the Royal Navy in the 50s,so this very similar to the way it was when he joined,he did 25 years as a frog man!
It all looks very professional.

Hello Sailor 😁
wow, i remember working on a big tea kettle like that as a lad !
Good movie.,it reminded me when I joined up and I see this was in 1965 released..I joined up at Raleigh November 65.and I thought I was back then just watching it ..good memories.....Terry
His mum is stunning
For those who it applies, I do hope Britain is restored back to these days of glory for all your generations to come. Sorry about the current sight of Britain, what a free for all it has become.

Roger Tonge if I'm not mistaken.... Sandy in Crossroads!!! 😅
How did he get away with that hair cut in the RN.
Professional, Trades Persons. When Fings Were Goooooooooood. Happy Times. Plenty Of Jobs, Council Houses . Sad How Things Have Changed ?., 🤬
Well you guys wanted cheap labour.. and doing menial work was beneath the colonialists' pride.
Now dunno about the Pakistanis and Bangladeshis.. but Indians have bided their time, worked super hard and studied like crazy; ( well for all racial superiority, Indians are super intelligent) and are now the richest ethnic group in UK.

Back when things where better.
Absolutely, when people knew their place and didn't get ideas above their station, if you grew up on a council estate it was off the the navy or army with you, and the rest can go work at Dagenham making widgets for 50 years, if you was that lucky and you didn't inhale a bit too much asbestos, still, that help to keep the numbers of the hoi polloi down a bit didn't it? Make sure that you vote for a toff with a plummy accent at the next GE, they always look after the small people.
