Hello Campers!: 50 Years of Butlin's: TVS 1986 (Part 1 of 2) 

Butlins...my childhood...for 10 years... Loved it so much ❤❤❤❤😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Superb. I am on a binge of Butlin's nostalgia. This is one of the best! Thank you!

Great Doco, was at Skegness in the late 60's as an 8 yr old. Fond memories indeed. Thanks

I live a twenty minute car drive from filey and knew Butlins very well and helped to remove the fruit machines when it was winding down .I did manage to buy an office desk for £8 when they started to sell things of and I still use it every day so sad went it all ended Happy days

I was a nursey nurse 1970/1972 Bognor then 1973 Minehead.

I've Been To Butlins Resort In Bognor Regis In West Sussex In England Back In May 2017 And It Was Super Awesome Holiday Resort Theme Park In The World. Thanks Mate. X

A fascinating documentary, and very much a period piece. That style of doco was ruthlessly parodied by Victoria Wood with Duncan Preston as the journalist. The early adverts from the 50s are hilarious, with their cut-glass accents. The two slightly fey young men discussing whether to go to St Tropez or Skegness found its way into a Julian & Sandy sketch.

I spent many happy holidays at Butlins, when very young with my parents. Then when older, with friends that I made there. Then with my own family for several years running at Warners, Puckpool IoW. The children were entertained by the Green Coats and they made friends and wandered to camp to their hearts content. Now, the poor children often go on holiday with their parents to faraway places, or even close to home, but rarely get the opportunity to socialise with other children.

My mum worked at Butlins, Minehead as a cook before I was born in the 80s.

thanks very much for uploading

I had a holiday in Minehead with my family in 1966 when I was 12. The chalets were very basic and had rough stone walls and there was a cubbyhole with a curtain for the wardrobe. We used to get woken up by a radio jingle every morning at 7.00. There was an open cable car that went over all the chalets and the swimming pools had glass walls so if you were in a café underneath you saw all the swimmers' legs go by. I don't remember much about the meals other than long tables and bread and butter but I had a great time spending all day on my own going around all the amusements.

Many thanks for this - just great!

Remember Butlins Mosney in Ireland so well

The family rooms were very spartan in the 1960's and almost like an Army Barracks but people were in fact much fitter and harder than the wimps of today !

Amazing to see how to see how life's changed over the years. Interesting to see how people have lived and gone but the world keeps turning. Love Butlins but it's changed along over the decades. Although the fair ride looked better in the past. Without Butlins there would be no British holiday. I go 5-6 times a year lovely to see how it was bk in the day

My nanna won the Most Glamorous Grandmother competition in Pwhelli camp.

11:21 GREAT SCOTLAND YARD. It's Jimmy Perry From DAD'S ARMY The Original Series. Happy New Year Mate. X

My wife spent her childhood years going to butlins bognor for her summer holidays. She then went on to work there as a waitress for many years until meeting me. Where do we live now? Bognor🎉😂

I was a redcoat!!!!!!!!!

Thank god my parents never took us there....looks like hell 😯

I was a redcoat at Butlins 1982 and 1983 .... anyone remember me?

'So what were the Redcoat duties?' Roy Hudd '... dancing with the ugly birds ..' Jeez, double take moment, did he just actually say that on tv? Times sure have changed.

Is it true that they used to give them a loud alarm call every morning?

any ideas as to who is singing the song ee by gum in this video its very good

6:13. I’m afraid I was very, very drunk........👨🏻‍🦳

I'm American and wonder if Butlins is still around?

Is anyone watching both parts of this video again after hearing about the Death of Roy Hudd?

I can't believe people who could afford Europe would choose go to those tacky camps.
