soapdragon Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Have watched this series from the 50's but this latest episode from the 80' s is really bringing back memories! The music, especially, is evoking the mood! The advent of the microwave, penguin bars, pre packed sandwiches, video recorders, soda streams, big hair...oh happy days And did we really have that wall paper Fascinating!!!!

Cat tails Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I'm completely and utterly in awe... Watched the 70's one as well Great programme though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've spent much of the series exclaiming "My mum had that chopping board!" Or "My grandma used to do that!" Depending on the era being covered. I've not seen tonight's episode yet but I imagine I'll be cringing and thinking "I used to have that jumper. What was I thinking?!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We have watched & really enjoyed them all too.....I love Giles Coren in everything he does We remember so many of the bits & pieces from the kitchen, as the food, its really entertaining seeing it all back as it used to be. I like the family too, although the 'Mum' has a really unfortunate unhappy looking face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Shes not very good with the tin opener - I had to look away as I was sure we'd have a cut finger or 10. I love the fashions - big hair - lovely - i love big hair and the music and the blue mascara. Memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 The mom reminds me of Aunt Petunia... I loved the clothes of the girls. Some of that stuff, I have worn as a kid. They were hand me downs from my slightly older aunts. Interestingly enough I see my students wearing similar things these days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We watched the first one and then the one last night which as the decade of my teens and early twenties. Many memories, not all of them good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
