I really respect that this show actually shows the people of color experience. It was a harsh reality that many shows shy away from, but needs to be confronted.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Unfortunately, they didn’t depict the acid attacks the Jamaicans bought with them .. Maybe that was just a little to HONEST for television
Housewives in the 1950-60s were usually active in their community and at that time community events were still popular. Many also attended church and were very involved with church functions. They also hosted dinners and parties in their homes. The point is they weren't bored with only housework and children to keep them occupied. Hobbies and clubs were also still a big deal, as they have been since the 19th century.
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.
the daughters reaction to their parent reluctance is hilarious. Saskia looks like she's about to cry.
LoL, "I know this is garlic," whilst cutting up the ginger....and "I think that's enough garlic...." and in the pot goes loads of chopped up ginger! Hmmmm... Hahahaaa! :D
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
Awesome show..I would like to see the Indian people experience during these time periods.
I know it was a while ago you said this but There’s back in time for Birmingham about Indian people
Brother and sister Hawkes are very talented, and very nice people too.
As a Black American I can relate to the Jamaican family on many levels.
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 :)
"I've got the children fighting in the bathroom as we speak, which is marvelous. Oh god. GUYS, SHUT UP!"
OMG! The tiny child-Daleks were the cutest things *ever*!
"Was it this bad for black people in the 60s?" My Lord- a woman who's own father was growing up during that time and who was probably born in the late 60s/early 70s herself doesn't even know her own people's history. Why do we always ignore the past?
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 .
I got very emotional when the Caribbean family came to their flat :(
Why did they go from ww2 to the 60s, would be nice to watch them experience the post war and 50s
11:33 ... The look on Jonathan's face = when he realizes he's only going to be featured in this 5-hour series for a total of 7 or 8 minutes.
The wallpaper of the 60s was only topped by the wallpaper of the 70s. I grew up surrounded by both. I think I need therapy :-)
I am really into these shows. I am Scottish-Irish and Native Indian, it really hit my heart what ancestors went through, even just in partiality. I'm american, so I wish there was a show like this over here, representing how it was here as well. I am really liking these shows.
the mum looks like twiggy!
The Jamaicans were so beautifully dressed and they were presented with a hovel! Very sad, but sadly true!
This show is just super ... I LOVE THE WHOLE SERIES !!!
wish they wouldve done the 50s, also would be cool to see a doc about how they changed the homes.
+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?
Loved it when they put on the kinks on the record player! Great song, great band
OMG I busted out laughing when the kids dressed up as Daleks. It is the time frame when Doctor Who came out. Ha ha
I love the sisters! they're so beautiful
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
Love that mama is jamming to the Stones in the kitchen =)
In England, the Fifties weren't the same as the States. There was still rationing going on and we were in massive debt.
I love this show so much and this is my absolute favorite period. If I could go back in time, it would be to 60s London.
So hard to watch what it was like for the Caribbean family though. I romanticize the time, but I probably shouldn't.
We have been brain washed into thinking to stay at home and keep a home running is a not worth while but, It is the linchpin to keeping all the family together...what could be more important.
One thing I do remember is reading British magazines in the 60s and a lot of teens were out on their own! That just wasn’t happening here in Canada! We were still in High School and really there was nowhere to move to ( no bed-sits to speak of!). We were more independent than today’s kids, not many helicopter parents!🇨🇦🙂
I think it's important to realise that the immigrants in the 60s didn't live a life too different to some immigrants today.
I’m with the brother and sister duo....if I have my music, life is grand lol
Saskia is gorgeous!
Ditto
I was a child in the 60's with teenage siblings in the US. Most teens did not move out of the house in the 1960's there were run away laws and you could be arrested taken back home even to abusive parents, kids had little to no protection under the law here! I remember a lot of teen pregnancies, resulting in marriage one way to escape bad families. Funny to watch, jobs were plentiful and U could afford to live on your own at a young age. More potential era of opportunity and hope, unlike now.
My mum when she was raised in the 60s didn't have a fridge until much later on- 1970, the same goes for colour television. So my family were worse off, the people in this program are most likely well-off (rich)city folk.
Yes it is supposed to be set in the city.
I felt really bad for the coloured families. They were just trying to find a better life! I mean these people seemed so nice. Here in the United States, racism was far worse. I feel like many modern day coloured folks forget the trauma their families went through in the past.
It still goes on and it’s even worse now in 2020
Absolutely. While they were in constrains of a week's experience, they did manage to convey the time period of most of a decade in the other shows. With this one, it seems they only got through the middle of 1966, and left it at that. Still and all, they managed to touch on many of the "signs of the times" through a one hour TV show.
Oh and I totally want to be friends with all of the families. The Meadows cracked me up. I really liked them. :)
"the idea of me moving out right now, as a 18 year old in 21ist century just wouldn't be an option", yet it's exactly what people do :D
I switched countries to start university in UK, most of my classmates live in shared flats, all of us are young. It is exactly what people do.
Oh my goodness! We had that Corel patterned china when I was a kid. Probably still in a box in the basement... lol
In the USA, I knew some young married couples (early 80's) who rented apartments in an old house like this. People did this with old houses with few bathrooms and many "living rooms". They had two upstairs rooms run together with a doorway, a small stove, fridge, sink and cabinets in a corner. There was a sofa-bed in the "living" area, lamps on some tables and a few chairs. Shared hallway bathroom with strict rules for cleaning up after using. Cheap, but better maintained than for this time.
Phil Meadows looks a bit like Anthony Hopkins.
so really, our grandparents were bad asses
It's a combination "Bed" and "Sitting" room with some sort of kitchenette of course - basically a studio apartment (USA style) with a shared bathroom.
The black immigrants I came across working in London in the 60's were better spoken and better mannered than the locals. I never felt threatened walking in black areas, I might feel a bit different nowadays.....
The irony that Saskia and Genieve move home (given that it's for a short time for the show) while the other family have no choice but to stay in conditions they obviously didn't agree to. Even if ppl did live like that I'm sure they chose the worst conditions for the sake of the show.
i know a few places like the first house, "flats" here in los angeles. one of my old roommates lives in one. it doesnt even have a kitchen, just a fridge and microwave and she has to share a bathroom with her floor.
Yes, that guy is correct. That is what it is called a bachelor or studio apartment is in Canada/USA, a one room apartment with a shared bathroom. Thanks for uploading these episodes btw, they are lovely! :)
Oh my god the little kids running around with toilet plungers...... They're playing at being Daleks!!!
Genevieve is so pretty, she’s like a perfect human
I know this is from a while ago, but Jonathan is freaken cute. 😍🤩
interesting to see how similar it was between the UK and the States... the 60's life was just like it was for me growing up.
Bruh they really are making this as realistic as possible
the song is wishin and hoping by nancy sinatra
Suzie looks like the Brady Bunch mom. hehe!
I think she looks like Twiggy.
I am disappointed that, for a show featuring a musical Jamaican family in the UK, "in the 60's", it didn't feature one single note of SKA/Blue Beat/Reggae... ?
omg the taylor children are awesome
My God it looks like my grandma's house lol. I wish they had done the 1950s though. That was a big let down
Very nostalgic and enjoyable. Ruined only by seeing Jimmy Saville on Top of the Pops.
Julie VanBerkel Yes anything nostalgic from a few years ago is going to have him in I'm afraid. :(
Great TV show / series. The plight of the "immigrants" was most moving. But as stated elsewhere here, many working class people (regardless of ethinicity) would have lived in places like what they had; some possibly without indoor flushing toilets (having to use the older outside ones). The thing though is that many new immigrants wouldn't have known (at least at first) what kind of rent rates could get good flats; so they maybe be overcharged/taken advantage of; etc.
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.
HAHA- watching this in the US- when they said they were going to watch a football game- I was like, "they don't have football in the UK. Oh! soccer!" LOL!!
They're are actually quite a good band
The black family are so good looking
The kid dressed as a Dalek was so cute!!!
Please she moved back because it was not what she/they expected.
Saskia and Geneavive are such good teens quiet the opposite to most teens these days
there showing how world change just like it did the 60s
did she just say they might be living in an absolute "pigstyle"?
Pig sty
These lovely girls aren't spoiled, but they should have been made to endure a WEEK on their own. The Hawkes didn't have a choice. One week might have shown them that they may not have as many choices as they think they have. Having said that, I think they are delightful, and the Hawkes remind me of my own young years:)
what u think of the 1900s
ali codo different thing
what's the name of the music playing in 6:00? I often hear it in lifestyle shows.
The brief appearance of Saville leads me to ask if this was made before the revelations about the pervert.
Yes this is from 2012.
She really doesn't know the difference between garlic and ginger?
Jeez was there nowhere outside of the colonies for those of darkened completion.
this i grate!!
The children were playing Daleks!!
For me, its fun because its totally alien to me.I wasn't around, so i didn't actually see it.
@Mirts000 so you're paying for your university tuition on your own (and not wracking up debt) and paying for your own rent on a part time salary without ANY financial help from mom or dad?
Interesting.In the early 80's I was only able to afford an apartment not unlike the bro.& sis from Jamaica- I was a newly started Registered Nurse in Maryland,USA-No discrimination & not much advancement in 20yrs in US. Huh.
❤❤
This is all so unrealistic. I grew up in the sixties in London, and we were poor. My father was a primary school teacher with three children. We didn‘t have any of these gadgets. The walls weren‘t painted in all these colours. Everyone worked hard. My mother had to find a job because my father couldn’t feed a family and pay the mortgage from a teacher‘s salary. Why is my memory of the sixties in London so different from this?
Does anyone know the name of the episode with thE war and evacuation. I can't seem to find it!
World War Two
Yes a day in with the Doctor,,,, perfect
Mad men soundtrack..fitting.
What's the song at 25:26?
Are these the same families from the other episodes ????
Yes
what music playing at 28:58?
please!! the song at 35:48????????????
Now and for a while many private rental landlords say 'no benefits', and the council accommodation you can get is falling apart, mouldly, cracks everywhere, toxic water. So what the Caribbeans experienced in that way, the poor are experiencing now. My Jamaican grand-dad and that side of the family didn't mention about crap flats or anything, but my mother did say that she was often called a 'gollywog' in school in the 60s. Such a weird slur, i think that was like a blackface doll or cartoon or something. My mum literally beat the boy up who kept calling her that, punched him repeatedly in the face, he never called her names again, and she barely got in trouble for it, because in the 60s teachers would tell kids to sort it out themselves i think, as they do now. I grew up in the 90s, and in the 90s the teachers would actually try to stop bullying.
what happened to the goldings?
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.
The electrical issues in this for the black tenants were clearly invented/contrived for the show, the only way a cooker would blow fuses inconsistently only when too many rings were turned on would be if it was wired onto too light a current of fuse/breaker, something pretty obvious to anyone with any clue, & wouldn't also trip the lights even so without a fault that would also require a fuse box/consumer unit to detect the type of fault required & trip till at least 20 years later. Blow the specific cooker fuse yes, put the lights out without having to call the electricity board to replace *their* main fuse NO.
Trying to paint it as if only black people suffered this sort of thing is also false, if one of the teenage girls had also been pregnant without being married they'd have faced *at least* as much in the way of problems.
Wheres the Goldings?
They had to leave because their ancestors moved to the suburbs.
It was still the period where men did NOT help around the house much at all. If they even did anything to help out. The immigrant ones. The gal would have been the only one cleaning the flat. He would have just either sat or stood waiting for her to get done with the housework.
It was also a time where fathers told their kids to avoid any male with long hair.
As well as not all kids had the run of the house. If I had acted even one hundredth as unruly as those two kids did. I would have been spanked. And I do remember being spanked for for misbehaving. My parents still expected us to act like adults even as toddlers, and older.
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.
Wonder why they skipped the 50's?
They didn't. The second world war was that because not much changed in the 50's after WWII.
Honestly surprised the girls aren’t flirting with thei new neighbors they are both lovely looking
What is a bedsit? Is it what we call a bachelor in North America?
fiola01 basically
Basically a bed sit is another name for a studio flat
what song plays @ 14:15?
Tiauana brass........excuse my spelling
Wow, this is really good. I never knew about the racism in the UK...I love how they show the white family all having a great fun time and then the music changes to sad piano music when they show the black family, thank God this is just a show...and how did they avoid the drinking age I thought it was 18 there in 1960s, but even in 2000s it was 18, so how are they drinking and they are only 15?
***** 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.
I would of love some of that, be more independent. Yes!!
The problem with this show is that no 1960s house ever looked like that.
Everything is "1960s NEW" No house was ever filled with fixtures and fittings from one period.
I grew up in the 60s and we had furniture from the 40s and 50s
Look around your own house it will contain inherited stuff, second hand stuff,
Lastly, the "No dogs, No irish, No blacks posters in windows is a myth.
It was written by a journalist and photographed to illustrate an article.
If you search on google you will only find the one image of it,
What happened to the Goldings?
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!
Why did they skip the 50s?
Spanish Flea - Herb Alpert
Pig stye not style bad use of language by the girl in the car in the beginning of the show, I think it was Saskia
