This series hit different, one of the only things I remember from school, 30 years on, I also remember watching Geordie Racer and Through the dragons eye 😊 I love the old days.
Loved the entire series - I have great memories of this programme as a child (who was on sick leave from school) - a great social history for everyone which I think is much needed by all!!
I've had a real blast from the past watching this series over the entire weekend. Thanks so much for putting it up. They really should show these at schools again as it will never date!!
I watched whole series today , n I remember when it was the schools one. Two classes were shoved into one to watch it. Loved it then n when got no at dinner time mum n me talked about the one seen. It took me back , loved it so thanks for putting it up
We never had anything like this when I was at school, in fact we didn't have television in school. But I do remember going with the school to a local theatre to watch the coronation on a big screen for the silver jubilee. This series wasn't on television either as far as I know (this was New Zealand, and we didn't have a television anyway although the neighbours did) but I agree with others below that it should be compulsory watching as part of the school curriculum nowadays, and it should be shown on television at a time when people are likely to watch. I heard about growing up during the war and immediately afterwards from mum and dad and have always known times were tough but modern kids/teens have no idea. It would do them good to realise just how lucky they are, especially at this time (2020/21) and maybe realise that being asked to wear a simple cloth mask in public to help save lives is nothing compared to having to take your gas mask - which mum said smelt of rubber and always made her feel ill every time they had gas mask drill at school - everywhere you went, and have regular drills to ensure that if you needed to, and thank God they never did, you knew how to put it on properly.
The 1954-1970 series in also on CZcams, it features members of the family from this series as well as members of the family from the 1902-1926 series, including the brilliant and much-missed Bobby Knutt as Albert Selby.
@@jacqulineedwards7750 I'm sure you will enjoy the episodes. The 1954-70 series is my favourite and Albert Selby is brilliant, although the 1965 episode has a tragic end for Avril and Laurence
Hi would anyone know which episode it was when they brought a new born baby home and placed it in a draw for a crib? A link would be great, the child was my brother, it would of been filmed in 1975 . We lived next door to a lady called Hillary who got mg brother the small part, I think she worked in costume department. Thanks
Just watching this and remembering watching the coronation at an Aunts house The entire nation fell in love with Queen Salote of Tonga! I do hope they will show Queen Salote If not perhaps at a later time..Oh there it goes a mention of Queen Salote !That man was not alone !
+beasmith1 - You obviously haven't watched it from the beginning then. She is a decent, hard working woman who has brought up a family during a world war. Nothing fake about her.

+Hedgemist I've watched all this era as it happens...
+beasmith1 Then maybe you grew up in a slum. Life was like that in *decent* families.
She's just hardworking and old school. Not many left now
