Why do people just go on about the bloody fridge on these comments? Ffs, appreciate the video and historical footage being shown all these years later. And be in awe that Mary Berry is still going strong. That's the wonderfulness of this

[@jemmajames6719]

The freezer? Because no one could afford a freezer like that!

[@thep.e.e.coalition321]

Such a legend. Mary Berry has, and always will be, a truly iconic icon of telly.

[@zeddeka]

You get a real idea of how different society was then. People with much less money, choice of food was much less, and there was a real "waste not want not" mentality.

[@jameswillett7186]

What enables the UK's standard of living to be much higher now than it was in the 1970's? You have far less manufacturing jobs today then the 1970's. Here in the USA our standard of living peaked in 1973. Our standard of living has plummeted since then.

[@andymerrett]

And yet Mary reckons you have to use up frozen items within three months! Either that's a really crap freezer or she's being extremely cautious.

[@JohnDoe-tx8lq]

Pig's Trotter, mmmmmm... yummy! I love how she has jolly useful colored bags for fish, meat and fruit, yet her freezer is absolutely packed with transparent plastic bags. 😁

[@LuisGonzalez-pw7rl]

I love Mary Berry and she food!! She's Beruti fue!... Thanks THAMES TV for share us this moments!!

"...and at night I just curl up into a ball on the bottom shelf to stall the ageing process, I really find it helps, I'm 604 years old."

[@johnsrabe]

What color bag does she sleep in?

[@MarkPMus]

😅😅😅

[@Downtonabbie]

OH GOD THE MEMORIES WITH THIS my adopted mum loved her we had a freezer that big too haha

[@hmq9052]

Christ. It's like Fred West's patio in there. Absolute carnage.

[@royjacoby2768]

[@pit_stop77]

Someone needs to tell Mary, her freezers not working 😁

[@DashDrones]

'Beautifully packed' 😂

[@Alfredromeothatsme]

50 years ago nearly. I cant believe it!

[@ChrisHopkinsBass]

Crumpet not being available in the summer? Mary and Judith obviously didn't go to Spain on their hols! :D

[@crazypolite]

Why am I here.. why did I watch the whole thing.. who am I

[@wolfblitzer1981]

You are a revolutionary 🤣

[@faisalahmad4455]

Thankyou

[@rafiqadarr6217]

Bejam - a legendary shop!! Plenty of food in that freezer.

[@ivanahavitoff7308]

Victoria Woods Margary and Joan!

[@Itsmellissaaaa]

What people need to remember in the 70s freezers were scary. Mary literally had to put them step by step through many housewives who started working in the late 70s could make home made meals and freeze them. It really was a revelation…

[@SoulDamnFunky]

75p for a bag of peas nearly 50 years ago, but in 2023 I bought a bag for 55p.

[@helenhughes9420]

They actually brought Mary's freezer to the studio 🤦‍♀️

[@Rob_Walker.]

Owo how jolly 😁

[@richardtheeighth4431]

Absolutely. 👍😃

[@fraserkatie]

LOL it was all about reusing stuff in the seventies!

[@nathanjustus6659]

We go on about being green now and they were.

[@mrgaryg44]

Good to see some things don't change .... ' burgers for the children ' and lots of plastic packaging.

[@Scalihoo]

I love Mary's funky 1970's blouse & her great figure.. hubba hubba ❤️

[@dreamclaw00]

Comedy Gold

[@richardtheeighth4431]

The freezer looks big enough to fit the kitchen sink inside.🤔

[@andymerrett]

Beefburgers for children! Can't buy crumpets in the summer? Don't keep longer than three months!

[@Astra8676]

There's nothing like a good crumpet, 😂

[@vanessabarbera277]

Useful suggestions still for a nowdays working housewife!

[@marklola12]

most of what is in that fridge is what only people like mary would be having and eating...its not what most housewives back then used

[@dreamclaw00]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Posh people. Loads of people didn't get inside toilets until the 80's lol.

[@fraserkatie]

Why is her freezer so packed? LOL loving the branding of bejam!

[@dongargon3049]

proper stock that lol say no to Maggie's

[@jasonayres]

What's for dinner, Mum?! Oh, hello dear. Help yourself.. 🥽🦺🧤🔨🪓⛏️⚒️🛠️🗜️ Thanks Mum. I'll just warm up some.. ☢️⚠️

[@tonyinit8488]

I'd say mary hasn't a clue what's in that godforsaken mess of a fridge... my freezer with peas from 2018 and half a box of fish fingers is far better organised

[@timpriddy349]

Freezer burn city..........BAKING SODA

[@wythenshawekid1597]
