The way this show tackles contemporary social issues is really touching.

[@sachinchahal4131]

Elsie Tanner looked gorgeous in the 60s...especially in colour

[@bejoyful]

What a gift to have all the early episodes here; 1960s to 1980s; regret cannot tolerate today's shows.

[@autumnleaves2766]

Great characters in the series back then, especially the cantankerous old Ena Sharples and the feisty Elsie Tanner. Amazing to think this programme has been running continuously for nearly 64 years, longest-running TV soap in the world. The Archers wins the prize for longest-running radio series, having started just after WW2.

Very good nice to see the old characters and how Uncle Albert was actually a pleasant person

[@Shamimsie797]

nice to see how the old street looked

[@francofan100]

It’s amusing how all the pictures on the mantelpiece are colourised too, even though the likelihood is they’d be black and white at the time

[@DFina-mp3se]

Thank you so very much! Great job for a great show!

[@Thefan]

You're welcome! Glad you are enjoying them!

[@martinepstein3332]

Great job, keep them coming

[@Shane-Flanagan]

Being in 1960 black and white makes them feel like they were in another dark old age but seeing them in colour helps bring those characters to life somewhat

[@francofan100]

I felt sorry for Frank Pemberton (Frank Barlow). They brought him back for one ep in 1971 but it was towards the end of the colour strike so his one 1970s ep was in black and white.

[@fiesta142]

Love the way they listed the occupants of each house in the street during the closing credits back then👌

[@sarahrae6044]

Wonderful, thank you so much.

[@EveEve5]

I enjoyed watching these episodes thank you for sharing.

[@Thefan]

You're very welcome - I plan to upload many more

[@EveEve5]

@@Thefan I look forward to watching them .

[@paulburns-dt9eq]

Kenneth Barlow had a proper Lancashire accent ..makes you wonder if he's the same person!

[@gabriellecunningham7196]

Splendid! Many thanks ❤️🇦🇺

[@larkatmic]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Thefan]

You're welcome! 🙂

[@jillrossiter8757]

This had me fixed to the screen

[@Thefan]

Glad you enjoyed it! There's many more episodes on here 😀

[@nicholaswarrington9090]

It’s funny how on Episode 1 Ena is against crematoriums, but by episode 7 she has changed her tune!

[@Thefan]

You're right! I never noticed that, had to go back and rewatch it!

[@collistooth8314]

Sad irony that the dazzling Christine Hargreaves who plays Christine would later die of a brain tumour at only 45,just like her on screen mother here..... Interesting also that the Polish Ivan actor lived romantically with Tony Warren...

[@Thefan]

I didn't know either of those!

[@jamesbomd3503]

EHH WONDERED HOW THEY SLIPPED A PART FOR A POLISH ACTOR ON SCREEN NOW THEY ARE E V E R Y W H E R E...... even running the corner shops

[@ianhawdon3680]

60 odd yrs ago happy days

[@Sylvia-Storm]

Wish they could show some of the old adverts as well, they were fun.

[@nigellee9824]

Model milk......those were the days...

[@fionashatto6102]

Shoes were a big issue.

[@dementednun1175]

The Doctor put Ena in her place haha

[@Thefan]

She wasn't happy was she? 😂

[@donnajean3202]

Dennis grabbing his crotch at 28:30 was somewhat shocking to see.

[@Thefan]

Would never get away with that before the watershed these days!

[@alisonmcveigh3571]

Haha I had to do a double take

[@Dragonrdh]

It was !

[@user-kl4bh4lq6r]

Like watching Uk history this almost taste the soot and grime luv ir

[@jamesbomd3503]

NEE THAT'S HOW IT WAS AT THE TIME ESPECIALLY BETWEEN MUMS & LATE TEEN DAUGHTERS NOT SO MUCH SO BETWEEN FATHER & SON BECAUSE THEY WERE DOWN AT MILL OR IN THE PUB PLAYING DARTS , THEY WERE LIVING IN 2 UP 2 DOWN TERRACE HOUSING, that by 1960 were 25 years out of date. THE ROOMS WERE NO BIGGER THAN A CUPBOARDS & the family's were ON TOP OF EACH OTHER, PLUS they had to deal with an outside Toilet full of flies & of course HUGE SPIDERS THAT WOULD SILENTLY CRAWL DOWN THE LONG CISTERN WATER PIPE THAT WAS BEHIND YOU AS YOU WERE SAT ON THE LOO HOW DO YOU THINK I WAS BORN my Mum & her Mum, my Gran did not get on, so at 19 Mum got pregnant with me so she would be granted a Council house of her own ( IT WORKED ) A lot of YOUNG girls gamed the system like that at the time

[@KahlessTheUnforgettable]

Ena and the good doctor’s conversation verged on erotic for those two! 😂

[@nigellee9824]

That was the longest death throw in history...

[@LISA-gv5yo]

😂😂😂 TÔ vendo miss Marple totalmente diferente agora!

[@GodISGood103]

Good old days when neighbours were neighbours...banging on the wall...

[@fintan3563]

Do family members really speak this way to one another all the time? I couldn’t take all this constant bickering back and forth. I guess if people lived quietly and peacefully with each other it would make for a boring soap opera! PS - And all the SMOKING! 🤢🤮😵

[@Thefan]

I'm sure there were similar conversations going on behind closed doors of houses across the country at the time, though the show is obviously exaggerated because like you say, it would be boring if the conversations were too realistic. They smoke so often on this! but its at a time where they didn't realise how bad it was for you; I think it's an interesting look back into the past - it doesn't feel like you're just watching an old show, it's like you're looking in on the culture of the time too.

[@williamf4544]

My mothers family were like that always shouting at each other almost like barking you could say - I think it goes back to the parents ( my Grandparents ) not putting a stop to it when they were young - A poor family who had nought so im guessing at a young age it was survival of the fittest and so the shouting began - and never stopped
