THE OLD GET WISER AND THE YOUNG GETS OLDER. SUCH IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF PROGRESS WITHIN GENERATIONS....
1910 is the end of the Edwardian era. Love the characters and psychological profile's.
Thank you 👌💕
Set in 1910, in a "respectable" middle class family in Manchester, this gentle comedy focuses on the lives of the three twenty-something children of the family: Grace, Arthur and Reggie, and their hopes and dreams which include breaking free of their parents' authoritarian grip. But can they do it.. ?
Thank you, Zoya, for the synopsis!
Excellent!
So very enjoyable. Thank you.
Everyone & Everything about it…I 💖!!!
Absolutely brilliant, dialogue top rate
Wonderful and alarming. Loved the brass band. Comforting although melancholy! Gives a safe feeling. Great characters and a study in individual behaviour and how we affect each other. The stifling of the young I found disturbing although strict fathers and mothers wanted to protect them! Although seemed overwhelming , the pity today there seems less of a moral compass today!
The music is called ‘all in an April Evening’ by Eric Ball. when I was a lad I played E b bass in the school brass band and by some chance we got conducted by EB ….well it was a big deal at time
@@lupinbrabablebix9840 Thank you for the response. You were part of something wonderful. There’s something wonderful about these communities and the need for the brass band. It makes memories and is so evocative! Btw have you seen Brassed Off with Pete Postlethwaite and Ewan McGregor! It’s wonderful and I recommend! 👌
Excellent.
But terrifying.
Excellent actors!

Monday Matinee 'THE YOUNGER GENERATION '
First broadcast: Mon 2nd May 1949, 16.30 on BBC Light Programme
A comedy for parents by Stanley Houghton
Love the music, reminded me of the old Hovis commercial. I grew up in the UK, but became a Christian after I moved to the US. I understood where the older folks in this story were coming from. Some of their thinking was extreme, but I believe we are slowly trying to eradicate God from society. Just look at things when this was set and present day.
Love it!
What a stuffed shirt of a father. What a hypocrite too. The grandmother was pretty awful. Glad the young people got out from such a strict regime. Can't say I really enjoyed it.
Excellent but terrifying!
ANOTHER GREAT PLAY RUINED BY ADDS.
Sorry about that. Had the wrong settings. Should be fixed now.
Well produced and well acted play with so much hypocrisy. They wouldn’t be able to stand if they could see what today’s younger generation is doing.
Very boring for me.
I enjoy family interactions. I usually stop listening to a lot of these stories but this one kept me interested. Just shows different tastes. I can see how you can find this boring because nothing really Earth shattering happens but I still liked the generational views. And drunk Arthur was pretty funny!
@@louisbrugnoni1291 yes your right l was waiting for something to happen.
Since this was a character study, I think some earth shattering things did happen. The father especially went from an implacable, set in concrete viewpoint toward his children to a more humane, flexible attitude to them as adults.
@@tottiemae2258 True but l found it unbelievable on the parts of the children. I think if their ages were younger , say 14,15 but just rebelling in their 20s???
That's a good observation. You're so right by today's standards. But did you notice from Zoya Blake's synopsis that the setting was 1910? I think children stayed children longer 110 years ago. It gives us a peek at the past.
