    I had memories of watching this when I was a kid, but I was starting to think I had imagined it! All I could remember was the actress who played the farmer's wife in Worzel Gummidge ( Megs Jenkins) was in it, I wouldn't have known who John Mills was when I was a kid. Thank you for sharing this.

    wow i never thought id see this again, i used to watch this with my late father. My maternal grandparents were in a few episodes as extras so i remember the excitement when it would come onto our TV each week much like the same feeling when i found these 2 episodes here. If you have any more id be incredibly grateful if you could post them please? There are some brilliant other memories on your channel too. Its good to know they still exist but frustrating they have never been released on DVD etc
    Thankyou so much for all your posts long may you continue. Thanks again

      ​@@chriswatkin5476 "I actually mistook this for a different drama with these actors also in it, where the husband plans a day trip to blackpool and tries to hide it from his wife. That was very good and seemed like a little film. Your comment prompted me to recheck this one, and I hadn't seen it at all. Thanks😊

    Selwyn Froggit's mum! Can't believe I never saw this when it came out, I was an avid watcher of sitcoms as a child. It's not that bad by the standards of the day either, though I presume Sir John Mills had a large tax bill to pay the year he made it.

    Now in England it's all illegal boat people, drugs, knife crime, prostitutes, gangs, crime, riots, massive homelessness, looting shops, kids carrying knives on the streets, muggings. What happened to peace and quiet and tea and scones and lovely picnics in the park or a day out at the sea side?.. It's very sad to see England in such a sad state.

    • @Londonfogey
      @Londonfogey Місяць тому

      To be fair most of England is still pretty nice but I agree, the bad stuff is increasing, and the government seem to be dead set on encouraging the decline as quickly as possible.

      Yes & the once beautiful English countryside has become infested with 6ft stinging nettles, Japanese knotweed & other invasive foreign growths, not to mention the putrid smelling illegally planted roses of a repellent hue which give off a noxious gas whenever a decent English person approaches. In my town, which is near extinct, one has to wear a hazmat suit just to pick a dandelion.
