I'm watching this and shedding the odd tear for the past and also for my son who sits glued to his phone; I worry that stories don't interest kids anymore and that these dumb memes is all they get bombarded with. We're in lockdown (coronavirus) so I'm watching all these old series. I want to get hold of the 70s series, Shadows.
It's one of the few pictures which shows the Old Religion in a positive light. I'm so sorry that this film can't be preserved against the ravages of time for future generations.
Even though this wasn't my generation of TV,as my only daughter was a" one year old " ,my generation was the TV (60+70s + ),"" but ahh man it feels so sad,is it ones age ,reminiscent, or innocence of yesteryear,, I think a kind of innocence,, also the history,culture of our individual European societies, being tampered cultivated,and invaded with,also,power,greed corruption,threatened etc,and,all ways wanting ultimate control over our lives,,people then were more religious, decent,,now people desperate,insecure, homeless, food banks etc while the house is not a cosy home a loving resting place of individual style,,its a shell big TV eye watching you, because from day you are born =till the day you die "it will be just like a train station,in= out,
These shows are very interesting, there are subtle hints they give away. History is far more recent than we would like to believe and have been told about.
In the book by Dorothy Edwards Mr. Adams lives with his Methodist daughter Mrs. Umphrey, a widow. When Mr. Adam and Jimmy sing to the Grinnygog she comes out and accuses them of being heathen and refuses to give her father any sausages for his tea because he went too far. Jimmy tells the rest of the children that he likes Mrs. Umphrey, but she can be very mean.
