Turn Back Time: The Family (1960s) 

Unfortunately, they didn’t depict the acid attacks the Jamaicans bought with them .. Maybe that was just a little to HONEST for television

Yes, and don't forget women meeting up to go to the salon to get their hair/nails done or to newly established supermarkets. Also clothes shopping with their husbands' disposable income was common as mass produced clothes outlets became a staple for many. Housewives in middle class households were spoiled by today's standards as it was more expected the man buy lavish gifts like diamond jewellery home after payday.

Really? She doesn't know how garlic looks?

@@vaderladyl lol and poor Rachel...Sweet young lady...it's no wonder they don't let her cook..lol..lol

I know it was a while ago you said this but There’s back in time for Birmingham about Indian people

As a Pole I can too - seems racism is alive and well in the UK today too :(

I am rather surprised to hear this from a Polish immigrant. Most often, non-Whites feel that they alone are victims of discrimination, but it happens to Whites too.

E Mack Yes, unfortunately discrimination occurs across the board, regardless of skin colour. Ironic, isn't it? Wherever there is ethnic difference people will find a reason to hate. Still, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger :) I know most racism is simply a fear of the unknown and try not to take it too personally.

I agree with you wilde childe. Anytime one is different from others, there is the possibility of discrimination. There's nothing for you to do except be yourself and move on. There will be people who see you as a human being, and there will be others who never will. You just keep on living.

E Mack Wise words indeed :)

We don't ignore the past. We ignore the bad things in the past. Which only ensures that the bad things that happened then happens now.

People who live through a difficult past often don’t discuss it. My Opa was in a concentration camp. I know nothing about it. Not even which camp. All I knew growing up was that the word Nazi must never be uttered, and leaving food on your plate could get you in big trouble.

@@moniquem783 Yes, but we have history books. The suffering of a people as a whole can be told much easier than a single family member's private story

@@aboutashow true, but when it’s a close family member it can get complicated. That whole topic was so taboo in my family that I felt like I was doing something wrong even learning about it at school. There was a huge, invisible wall that you just didn’t dare climb over because you knew if Opa found out it would trigger nightmares and “screaming in the night” (my mum’s earliest memory) and Oma could get hurt if he lashed out in his sleep again. It just wasn’t worth the risk. So you pushed it aside. After he died 10 years ago, I read about it a bit and watched a couple of documentaries, but it’s really only since Oma died last year that I’ve felt like I’m able to delve into it more deeply and have even ordered a book about it just recently. And yet I’m also finding I need to skirt around the edges somewhat, by which I mean I’ll research a whole lot about Britain during the war and then throw in one documentary about concentration camps or Holland and then I go back to British history. It’s just too much emotionally to focus entirely on the horrors that the people I loved so much experienced. I can only take it in little snippets. I’m not saying the way my family handled it was right, but because of it I can understand how it’s possible that the lady in the show knew nothing about what her father had been through. Some people talk about it when they experience oppression, others shut down. If her father shut down like my Opa did, then her not knowing about it makes total sense to me.

Sad thing none of are parents talked about it none . I am shocked and amazed .it's like history never happened . The series Band of Brothers Gives a idea of what it was like for the troops .it goes all through the war and they interview the troops still alive .

+Danielle Elliott when wood u like to live

+Danielle Elliott There's a show similar to this one called "Electric Dreams" & it more focuses on how the homes evolved with technology. If you liked this, you'll probably like that one!

OriginalRetrophiliac what u think of the 50s

Yes! Why did they skip the fifties?

They are great :) I like that whole family, they seem to really love each other.

emsie84 I like all the family's, but the Taylor's and Meadows are my favorites

Ditto

Yes it is supposed to be set in the city.

It still goes on and it’s even worse now in 2020

I think she looks like Twiggy.

mmmmm.. not sure- I think racism was a pretty big problem in the 60s. My granny got married in the 60s, and has some pretty strange views. My paternal grandparents have much more sensible and respectful views, but I don't think you're doing any good by trying to water down people's struggles.

Julie VanBerkel Yes anything nostalgic from a few years ago is going to have him in I'm afraid. :(

Wishing and hoping was by dusty springfield

Yes this is from 2012.

what u think of the 1900s

ali codo different thing

World War Two

Pig sty

Yes

They moved away to the suburbs.

scorneli1202 I don't think there was a suburb culture here in Western Europe during the 1960s. That's more the 1980s and 1990s.

@@Justmynewaccount That is what they said they did on the episode before this one.

They had to leave because their ancestors moved to the suburbs.

Tiauana brass........excuse my spelling

***** Finally someone gets my point! If it wasn't for Europeans, Blacks wouldn't be in Europe or US, last time I checked blacks didn't really have a say in the matter.

***** I know.

They didn't. The second world war was that because not much changed in the 50's after WWII.

It was explained at the end of the 1940s video. As they were following their family's experience, their family relocated to the suburbs. Pretty common thing, actually!

I feel like that may be correct for a moderately well off white family, but for two immigrant black people, siblings no less, who are really struggling in their new environment, I think they'd have done what they could together to make things work as best as they could. That could be totally wrong, but it would make more sense than what you've said, realistically.

Michael O'Brien Even many white males did not help around the home at that time. I grew up in that time and I was able to observe what went on. It was extremely rare to see any man of any shade helping a woman out in the home.

I'm sure it depended on the parent. My father had his first family in 1962. There was a lot he didn't do but he did wash dishes, run the hoover around sometimes, made a bed etc And I doubt he would have been much stricter with my brothers than he was with us.

Anya Kimlin Actually my grandfather born in 1904 probably would have pitched in in similar circumstances to above.

not so, my dad did all the cooking, and counting my all my siblings that covers the 50's and 60's.

fiola01 basically

Basically a bed sit is another name for a studio flat
