I remember doing mescaline back in the early 70s when it was making its rounds around school. It really did cause crazy hallucinations but at the same time you were aware of the reality around you, it was just altered. Glad I got to experience it and I’m glad I never have to again 😂
My grandmother was a homemaker, when her husband retired from the steel mill, she retired too. She no longer cooked, cleaned or did laundry unless she felt like it. Grandpa helped out, they hired a woman to come clean once a week, they ate out a lot. It all worked out somehow.
Just a few observations. My Mum used to knit faster when she was upset with me and my Brother! That delightful 1930's Art Deco 3 piece suite in the lounge looks in jolly fine fettle after fifty years.
I’ve just realised this is Mildred’s sister!! Shows Avril Elgar had fabulous range ❤️ she was 50 I think when this was made. Expectations of what 50 looks like have changed drastically
I LOVE THESE OLD BRITISH SHOWS SO MUCH! THEY MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I BELONG THERE BACK THEN AND I GET A SENSE OF MISSING ENGLAND AND I'M FROM AMERICA AND NEVER BEEN OUT OF THIS COUNTRY! IT'S VERY WEIRD. I GET THIS VERY STRONG FEELING I'VE LIVED IN A COMFY TINY COTTAGE ON A FARM AND I EVEN SLIP OUT AT TIMES AND TALK BRITISH FOR REAL! IM 62 AND NOT CRAZY YET LOL LOL ! BUT I WATCHED THE MALLEN STREAK AND FELT RIGHT AT HOME IN THE COTTAGE THEY MOVED INTO AFTER THEY LOST THE CASTLE . IT WAS SUCH A INTENSE FEELING I FELT LIKE CRYING ! THAT WAS ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO . BUT SEEING HOW I WON'T BE ABLE TO EVER GO THERE LOL I'LL ENJOY WATCHING SHOWS FOR NOW LOL LOL . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THESE!❤
I don't normaly notice things like this,but that actress has lovely hands,she could have done commercials with hands as nice as them,I know she was a successful actress in her right,but had she not been ,this would have been a alternative and us most definitely meant as a compliment,I know it's a unusual comment to make But I just had to say,as I really was intrigued that I even noticed🤷but I did enjoy the play aswell,they made alot of good ones and so glad to be able to watch them again even thou some of them I don't remember, so that was a extra for me and I know I still not seen all of them yet☺️still going threw the pile lol
Understated , well written and well acted . The couple are just not suited for each other . Some people fall in love . Some others fall in love and then out of it. He is annoying . She should have left him.
I've given in to the temptation of literary justice. It's too satisfying to abstain. I LOVE how the doctor treats George with the same complacent presumptuous, controlling optimism he'd been treating his wife to! It made me laugh out loud. I think that's what's great about literature/drama/art. You can allow yourself to imagine these things are just - to indulge in the narrative, without doing anyone any harm. It's deliciously cathartic. I loved it.
reading these comments makes me want to cry, so many people are dissatisfied with modernity, it's as if we were lied to, things were meant to get better, all this technology was meant to lead to a better way of life but the contrary is true, we are more separate and alienated than ever, it makes me wonder if it was intentional. Watching stuff like this takes me back, I was there, I grew up in the '70s and '80s, I remember what life was like back then, Television was experimental, writers had more freedom, 3 channels then four then five now it's unlimited and they're stuffed with rubbish, the competition for our attention is extremely competitive but it just leads to multiple paid subscriptions and generic entertainment. Give me back my four channels, a video membership, a landline and I'll be happy
Sad , but so true. Life was so very different and simpler. I remember sitting with my siblings, parents and grandparents all waiting for The Waltons to come on.
Agree in spades! "Proper" entertainment back then crafted with quality in mind, designed to give is something to think and debate about, internally at least. Call me a Luddite (and the Luddites have an undeserved bad name) but with all the channels to pick from it's a massive travesty that the 'best' on offer is the likes of Love Island and the like. God in Heaven help us🤔😟🫣
This looks like the old Highcroft Psychiatric Hospital in Birmingham. I use to do my run's around the outer perimeter back in the mid 90's when it had closed down.
Second time watching this I think, although I may have seen it in 1982! Forty years in the US and I’ve forgotten a lot of the shows I used to watch on BBC and ITV. There just aren’t made for TV dramas that there used to be.
There's something to be said about the cinematography or lighting of this production it's not limited to British I've seen this in the same era in American made films as well I can't place my finger on it but has something to do with creating a mood with the use of the lighting and the pace of the speaking it's all calm smooth and tranquil definitely has an effect on the audience I find it a refreshing contrast to today's shock value entertainment if you call it that. I'm from California and I grew up on British comedy and 1920 to 1940s movies so I am biased but I was born in 1985, so every genre has its own standards but shows like this leave me feeling as if I invested my time rather than wasted it. Shows like this impart a cultural value that's not found elsewhere.
