Reminds me of the British entertainment, that you see, on English, WWII movies! I wonder what those older, 1950's Brits. would think of the U.K. today? I don't think that they would recognize it, anymore!
I think as we get older and many things don’t improve as we had hoped, many of us wish we had a Time Machine to go back to those days we most enjoyed.we were very lucky by many comparisons, but I’d still like the old Tardis or similar if it’s going! Keep your chin up and keep smiling…things could always be a lot worse! Best wishes and good health wished for you all! 👩🦳💕🥰🌹😁🫶
Better than the alternative. I miss the old lead Christmas baubles, so fragile but such beautiful colours and the old Japanese tin toys. Health and safety 😅. I'm still here. 🙏
@@IanSizer-co7vb Yes, those family nights felt so safe & close; listening to classical music on the radio, father with his beloved cats on his knees, mother knitting. I can still feel that room & warmth 60 years on
Oh memories of an innocent 1950s & 1960s childhood. My parents didn't have a lot of money but probably went without to make sure that the children had not what we *wanted* but what we *needed.* So much is taken for granted nowadays.
Born in '48....a child in the 50s, a teenager in the 60s, what a time, to have experienced it was a privilege.l look at my grandchildren and weep for their future..
I weep for My Grandkids and it doesn't have to be. Back then we had more common sense and less greed throughout society. Most people back then, even non Church goers had faith in some form and Christian values.
Born in '47, I cry at the loss of the innocence of what had to be the best time ever to have been a child. This poor sad generation of brainwashed zombies will never feel the kind of freedom and genuine happiness that having so little compared to today, gave us.
Although I am young I love the diction, beautiful, loving real English, a pleasure to listen to🙂👏❤. Thank you for sharing such precious treasure, bless you.

Yes I was born 1954. Now classed as a boomer. We had a different lifestyle. It’s only when you look back you appreciate how lucky we were. Times were hard but we communicated and made our own amusement Maybe our generation ruined it by so called computers
Back then most people rented a TV ( Radio Rentals or Granada etc), I remember our first Tv the screen was small but the cabinet was about 4 times the size of the screen.

All those great memories. I’m the youngest of a family of 9 (5 older sisters and 1 brother) plus Mom & Dad who raised me ‘proper’. For that, I will be forever grateful. ❤
Sunday teatimes…. my dad always listened to Sing Something Simple on the radio. Mum never missed Z Cars, the Black & White Minstrel Show and Sunday Night at The London Palladium….watching the Tiller Girls go round at the end was the height of glamour for me! We listened as The Beatles hit the charts and changed the face of music forever. Mum always preferred Val Doonican though. Life was simpler, values both morally and family-wise were just part of everyday normal life. We didn’t have much money, not by a long chalk, so in many ways we didn’t have much, but in some ways we had everything.
I live in a little Close of nearly 60 flats blocks of 4 & 6's. I've been here since 2011 and I know only 6 to talk to!! When I was a kid in the 70's, where I lived, I knew just about every single neighbour on both sides of a long Close and other families in the nearby Closes.
Almost forgotten, wonderful childhood memories brought back to life, enjoyable back then without the fowl language of today's entertainers! "THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES"
I went with my daughter and granddaughter to watch Sooty live a couple of years ago. Richard Cadell who works for Sooty, pointed out that most parents were really there for themselves. We all agreed. Including my daughter and myself 😄 He still says " bye bye everybody, bye bye " This brought a tear to this granddad's eye😊
I was born in 1951 and I remember everything you showed on this video. I was about 9 years old when we got our first television and was hooked! It sure has gone down hill since then.
Oh what lovely memories ,iwould rather be back there great entertainment (better than today) a great selection of childrens shows and fab adult entertainment 👍🏻
Especially the gloom and misery of Eastenders. What a bad reflection on our nation that TV soap is. It's a wonder the people who live in the East End of London don't sue the programme makers for false representation.
It's a pity about the Flower Pot Men. They caused a scandal after they began to make obscene gestures to the camera and even sexually assaulted Little Weed. Had to be taken off the air as a consequence.
When I was a child in the 1950s I longed to be grown up. I naively assumed that I would be an adult in the world I knew as a child but by the time I got there that world had gone.

Well done! I really enjoyed watching those clips. The acting was so good back in those days. As a young boy in the 1950's, I certainly remember those shows.
Thanks for the memories. I was surprised that William Russell (Sir Lancelot) only died a few months ago at the age of 99. I loved him and Richard Greene. I'm currently enjoying reruns of "Robin Hood" on Talking Pictures TV. It was interesting to see Anne Reid appearing on the series recently in one of her earliest roles. She must be about the only cast member still alive.
I was born in 1948 but I remember a lot of these programmes from the 1950's. Happy times then even though things were difficult sometimes for my parents..
I remember everyone loved watching the yes/no interlude on Take Your Pick... and it is still highly entertaining to watch. Micheal Miles was a pro at breaking the contestant's concentration. The Gong man had lightning reflexes.
I am 70, and I can honestly say that for me, NOW is the best time. Some commentators on here may have genuine reasons to think otherwise, in which case my sympathy, but I think that positive outgoing attitude, and willingness to embrace new learning and change really helps.
I hate 95% of TV, but it was way worse back then, and no catch up, so you couldn't watch something after it was shown, if you had to miss it for whatever reason. Dreadful quality too. I'd have gone insane if I'd had to be stuck in front of a TV with all that sort of stuff on.
@@amandadavies.. Well! Back then we didn’t sit in front of the tv most of the day watching repeat after repeat of tasteless crap. Also, it was all new to us and didn’t know any different.
@@elainehumphrey2307 I definitely didn't as I said above (still don't), but I might have been more interested if I hadn't been tied to watching stuff as it was shown, had there been catch up options....even recording on video tape (as bad as it seems now) would have been better.
I saw the original BBC serial "The Quatermass Experiment" (1953) at my friend's house (my parents didn't have a TV till a few years later). That was the beginning of my lifelong love of science-fiction and horror movies. The scariest thing was _cycling home in the dark_ after each episode!
I remember watching the Trollenberg Terror with a friend at my house - we opened the front door for her to go home and there was a thick fog outside - her face was a picture - anyone who remembers it will know what I am referencing
A big event of 1953: the live broadcast of the Queen's coronation. Along with other families who didn't own a TV till a few years later, we were invited to spend all day in the living room of a friendly neighbour. One of many treasured memories of the 1950's (my "teenage" years - I was born in 1940). Living in the 21st century is like being on a different planet. 😟
Feels amazing to be reminded in this video of things I reckon I was watching from when I was about 1 or 2 years old and only just aware of the world. Seems almost as good as time travel.
I remember a lot of these programmes. As a very small child I used to watch Watch With Mother. I loved Billy Cotton's Band Show. Times were a lot simpler back then.

@@spellbound111 Dont forget the ice pattern on the inside of the windows in winter and Mum saying don't make patterns with your finger, the glass will crack. The freezing lino underfoot. Oh and if you were lucky instead of newspaper you had that medicated IZAL greaseproof crap that slid around polishing your turds.
I just realised how blooming old I am! I can remember the day the TV arrived and that my mother would not let it every be switched on until 5 p.m. (Except for Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy and that other one! She liked those ; I hated them!)
At the start of the decade very few people had sets. Wealthier . We didn’t have a TV until I brought one home on starting work in BBC Radio in 1962. Prior to that we used to go to our grocer’s home over the hill and watch things like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race (don’t ask). And the coronation of QE2. Certainly I wasn’t aware of it as a source of entertainment that would put radio virtually out of business. All that changed when I was up at University.
Blimey! I've owned around 2 twin tub washing machines in my 20s and as a child my mother's twin tub was the envy of the street as it had an agitator for washing and a spinner in the same unit. If you owned an electric spinner unit on its own you were well off. Mom used to wash by hand and use the spinner. I recall it took mom all weekend to do the family laundry.
We had a second hand Rolls Rapide Twin Tub washing machine given to us in the 60's. It was the best we've ever had & no automatic can match it for whiteness! :)
Can't beat the old dolly tub for washing clothes in using Dolly Blue and a dolly stick, squeezing out water from washing with the trusty mangle. The old washboard was great for playing sounds on with thimbles on fingers.
Brings back memories of my school days, happy care free times ...gone. forever !

Well done! I really enjoyed watching those clips. The acting was so good back in those days. As a young boy in the 1950's, I certainly remember those shows.
Thanks for the memories. I was surprised that William Russell (Sir Lancelot) only died a few months ago at the age of 99. I loved him and Richard Greene. I'm currently enjoying reruns of "Robin Hood" on Talking Pictures TV. It was interesting to see Anne Reid appearing on the series recently in one of her earliest roles. She must be about the only cast member still alive.
May have been in black and white and we didn’t have two hundred channels, but the shows entertained and there was something new every day!
Когда всего слишком - перестаешь это ценить и теряешь интерес. Хороша золотая середина.😊
Cadbury Flake is half the size these days as is everything else.. 60s 70s best times . safe to walk streets at night
As are Wagon Wheels.
I was born in 1948 but I remember a lot of these programmes from the 1950's. Happy times then even though things were difficult sometimes for my parents..
That was BRILLIANT ! I was born in 1955 and had forgotten most of these progs and adverts. Excellent memory joggers - thank you. Great fun 🙂
Thanks brings a lot of good memorys of my child hood.
Yes really enjoyed remembered each and everyone. Thank you so much for your hard work,in putting together a wonderful walk ,down memory lane. .
"Переулок воспомининий"-здорово !❤❤❤
I remember everyone loved watching the yes/no interlude on Take Your Pick... and it is still highly entertaining to watch. Micheal Miles was a pro at breaking the contestant's concentration. The Gong man had lightning reflexes.
Yes that WAS good! Made us laugh a lot. Did you like it?
Good gracious-that brings back memories.It wasn't all rose tinted either,I am afraid.
At least we could have a laugh in those days without offending someone.
Imagine what would happen if they did a re run `The black and white minstral show` Real entertainment ...
Every single clip every single person in them clips, I remember blimey I’m with my mum and dad again
Wonderful to see these again......life was so much simpler in those days.........
A real gem, thank you 😊
I am 70, and I can honestly say that for me, NOW is the best time.
Some commentators on here may have genuine reasons to think otherwise, in which case my sympathy, but I think that positive outgoing attitude, and willingness to embrace new learning and change really helps.
Wonderful years of TV. I do miss the posh talking on TV. We seem to have lost the dignity.
Not to mention presenters in between the programmes - before it all went facelessly corporate, thanks to the horror that was Carlton TV.
That was the Duke of Bedford advertising Flash. He and the Duchess did quite a few adverts.
To me the Flash adverts are synonymous with Molly Weir.
Better than the rubbish today 07/09/2024❤
I hate 95% of TV, but it was way worse back then, and no catch up, so you couldn't watch something after it was shown, if you had to miss it for whatever reason. Dreadful quality too. I'd have gone insane if I'd had to be stuck in front of a TV with all that sort of stuff on.
1950s TV was awful. I was there.
@@amandadavies.. Well! Back then we didn’t sit in front of the tv most of the day watching repeat after repeat of tasteless crap. Also, it was all new to us and didn’t know any different.
@@elainehumphrey2307 I definitely didn't as I said above (still don't), but I might have been more interested if I hadn't been tied to watching stuff as it was shown, had there been catch up options....even recording on video tape (as bad as it seems now) would have been better.
Michael miles. Loved It ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏👍👍
Brings back so many happy memories
I remember watching Quatermass from behind the sofa🥴
I have it on DVD , Quatermass & The Pit - and it's still spooky - 1959 - the last episode was called ' HOBB ' !
That was really weird - never quite understood Quatermass.
I saw the original BBC serial "The Quatermass Experiment" (1953) at my friend's house (my parents didn't have a TV till a few years later). That was the beginning of my lifelong love of science-fiction and horror movies. The scariest thing was _cycling home in the dark_ after each episode!
I remember watching the Trollenberg Terror with a friend at my house - we opened the front door for her to go home and there was a thick fog outside - her face was a picture - anyone who remembers it will know what I am referencing
Watched some on youtube only last week ....👍👍
Those were the days far better entertainment. Thank you ❤
Thank you for the memories.
Thank you!
Thanks for the memory
Loved Annette Mills singing I love muffin the mule 🙏😲😊😊😊😊
coming from the north - I thought for years it was called Maffin 😊
Unfortunately those days are gone and never to return. Thank God for our memory.
keeping the memories alive
Born in 1944 so remember all these tv programmes. Dad bought a tv for the queen's coronation in 1953.
OH MY LIFE.. this full of memories x
I noticed that the sign on the wall in the Tony Hancock clip says "Drinka Pinta Milka Day". I remember that from my childhood in the 60s.
And "Go to work on an Egg"
@@bofor3948 And 'I like my eggs in threes'.
1953. Our first TV had a nine inch screen.
A big event of 1953: the live broadcast of the Queen's coronation. Along with other families who didn't own a TV till a few years later, we were invited to spend all day in the living room of a friendly neighbour. One of many treasured memories of the 1950's (my "teenage" years - I was born in 1940). Living in the 21st century is like being on a different planet. 😟
Feels amazing to be reminded in this video of things I reckon I was watching from when I was about 1 or 2 years old and only just aware of the world. Seems almost as good as time travel.
THANK YOU!
I remember a lot of these programmes. As a very small child I used to watch Watch With Mother. I loved Billy Cotton's Band Show. Times were a lot simpler back then.
My favourite was Robin Hood and all the other ATV adventure series like William Tell and Long John Silver.
WHEN I FIND THE TIME MACHINE GUESS WHERE I WILL BE , IN MY BED ROOM JUST BORN IN 1953 HACKNEY , SO I COULD LIVE ALL THESE OVER AGAIN AND MORE
GROWING UP WITH THE GREATEST MUM AND DAD BROTHER AND FAMILLY A MAN COULD WISH FOR
LIFT ANY ONE DONT RUSH T Y FOR POSTING THIS MORE PLEASE
So you'd rather be living back then in a draughty house with no insulation or central heating, single glazed windows, boiling water in pans on the gas stove to get hot water for your tin bath and with an outdoor toilet at the end of the back yard where you wiped your backside on pieces of old newspaper.
@@spellbound111 Dont forget the ice pattern on the inside of the windows in winter and Mum saying don't make patterns with your finger, the glass will crack. The freezing lino underfoot. Oh and if you were lucky instead of newspaper you had that medicated IZAL greaseproof crap that slid around polishing your turds.
This was brilliant, brought back lots of great memories. Thanks so much for posting!
I just realised how blooming old I am! I can remember the day the TV arrived and that my mother would not let it every be switched on until 5 p.m. (Except for Bill and Ben, Andy Pandy and that other one! She liked those ; I hated them!)
What the WoodenTops and Spot the dog. And don't forget Muffin the Mule
@@bofor3948 I'm told that muffin the mule is now illegal in this country!
@@bofor3948 Sparky , Sparky the battery boy and Ivor the engine ,,, great 👍👍
We didn’t have a TV back then but we had a good radio x
Always got caught out on Michael Miles show😲😊🥰
I much preferred Michael Miles to the smug Hughie Green
@@johnorchard4Wilfred Pickes...Have a go JOE!😂😅
We did enjoy it very much. So different today!
At the start of the decade very few people had sets. Wealthier .
We didn’t have a TV until I brought one home on starting work in BBC Radio in 1962.
Prior to that we used to go to our grocer’s home over the hill and watch things like the Oxford and Cambridge boat race (don’t ask). And the coronation of QE2. Certainly I wasn’t aware of it as a source of entertainment that would put radio virtually out of business. All that changed when I was up at University.
I remember that pottery video - something they put on to kill the time till the next scheduled programme!
One of the "Interludes". That was hypnotic - never tired of watching it...
This is great, thanks! Had no idea Dusty Springfield did a Mothers Pride advert. Now, where is Pogles Wood 🙂
Don't you mean "Rusty Springboard" !! 🙂😂🤣
Life was much better , people talked to each other and had an inner sense of decency . Miss it
Stop picking your nose when you're talking to people.
Blimey! I've owned around 2 twin tub washing machines in my 20s and as a child my mother's twin tub was the envy of the street as it had an agitator for washing and a spinner in the same unit. If you owned an electric spinner unit on its own you were well off. Mom used to wash by hand and use the spinner. I recall it took mom all weekend to do the family laundry.
We had a second hand Rolls Rapide Twin Tub washing machine given to us in the 60's. It was the best we've ever had & no automatic can match it for whiteness! :)
Can't beat the old dolly tub for washing clothes in using Dolly Blue and a dolly stick, squeezing out water from washing with the trusty mangle. The old washboard was great for playing sounds on with thimbles on fingers.
Great. Thank you for posting this.
I remember watching the coronation on a tv with a 12in screen in front of which was a large liquid filled magnifier.
So many good memories bought back....simpler times.......so good.
Excellent !! However I was looking out for my favs … Flash Gordon and Superman !! Great childhood memories … thanks for sharing !!
