As a boy from Kent, watching this in 2021 wishing for times gone by. What have we done to our once wonderful country! When government minded its business and kept out the bloody way!
When I was at boarding school my mum used to tape it for me and whenever I was sad I would think about it it was such a great happy series it always cheers me up even now.
This is one of the first TV shows I saw when I came to live in England three decades ago. 😀 One significant difference between then and now: now, I understand what they say, and actually laugh at the funny bits in the dialogues. 😁
Hello Gordon, I share your sentiments and you're so correct within your statement regarding of how life should be. However, no -one has the perfect life and there has to be certain sacrifices, sometimes problems even major upheavals.😢😢So many people are far too materialistic!😡 "To many, money is their God!" Success is not only measured by the money one does have, it can come within so many other ways or form....🤔🤔Perhaps the program is fiction but what a wonderful life for so many people and of how many people would want such a life?🙄🙄A life of simplicity and innocence and with a genuine people within a life nowadays that is too much of a rush, too much pressure and so much more. What went wrong?🤔🤔🤔 Apologies for digressing. However, a most wonderful program.
I used to watch this as a little boy. Wonderful series, happy memories especially David Jason one of my favourite actors playing Pop Larkin. Just perfick
The English idyll right there. My folks growing up the north of England could only dream of this lifestyle being in a post-war council estate. Rough times, very scarce and expensive for any luxury, but a lot of community spirit.
It would be perfick if we could, Susan. What wouldn't you give to live the lifestyle the Larkins lived? Carefree, innocent joy. What could be better than that?
Oh how I wish they had made more episodes. I just love everything about it. They a better than what we have to offer we could learn a lot from them. I have started to watch more and more British fare.
Almost forgotten about this wonderful peace of TV history. My brain had at least a few days of processing and it randomly spat out "family Larkins". How cool is that😁
Regarding the people and area I think it's very accurate for that of middle-class / country gentry. This is set in the south of England (Kent if I recall) which is almost like a different country within a country in some ways, especially back then. Some of my relatives on one side were actually from the home counties and they have this genteel and innocent atmosphere about them. Some people from this part of England could be arrogant if you weren't from their county though.
@@allyhamilton4056 I love the bit where Mariette says", You wouldn't want to be away all day." He'd be worried about the other guys falling for her. And what guy wouldn't?
Can somebody clue me in please? I just started watching this for the first time ,why is he going around kissing these other women in episode 2? He seems happy with his wife and his wife knew about the one at least so what did I miss??
Pop and Ma's relationship is depicted as loving and affectionate throughout, although Pop is flirtatious and subject to numerous advances, most of which Ma is aware of and evidently unconcerned by.
Always give them a bit of what they want, make 'em happy, it doesn't cost him anything and spreads the love around... and its not just Edith, its the two old sisters, as well. And Ma gets it! She knows he's just being kind to the poor lonely old things...

From an Englishman who has been Living in Spain for 7 years and occasionally misses a bit of the old Country - thanks a lot 👍👍

Defo reminds me of better times

Same here lol
This was aired in Sweden, and I remeber watching this with my family. Everyone started saying "perfick" after that 🤣
I’m absolutely loving this series!!!
Have never read the books, but I will - after watching this!
Thank-You so much for uploading this gem!!
Everyday in the Larkins world seems like Christmas. I know its fiction but who would'nt love such a care free life as that.
Joe, it's the way the world should be - although we know it can't. But that's how we'd all like to live.
I dream of a world like this... 😭
Especially now
Think you can book holidays there

Michael & Daniel 2 kids in the Philippines. Ruined her pretty face with surgery
She was so pretty and natural. Now she is so Hollywood.

My dream of how I would love to live
The English idyll right there.

I'll pack my stuff and move to the Larkins.
I hear you
It would be perfick if we could, Susan. What wouldn't you give to live the lifestyle the Larkins lived? Carefree, innocent joy. What could be better than that?
I remember how huge this series was when it first started.
Oh how I wish they had made more episodes. I just love everything about it. They a better than what we have to offer we could learn a lot from them. I have started to watch more and more British fare.
And isn't David Jason the best?! Talk about an anchor to a wonderful cast. Feels so nice watching this. Thanks for posting!
Home is where the heart is - and the heart is with The Darling Buds of May.
Almost forgotten about this wonderful peace of TV history. My brain had at least a few days of processing and it randomly spat out "family Larkins". How cool is that😁

Thank you. Absolutely charming. 😊
I know David Jason is being a different character but I cant help seeing a bit of Derek Trotter in Larkin.
So long ago days of brilliant tv 😭😪😩
Can you upload more please so I can watch the complete series? I've never seen it before but recommended it. Thank you.
Country life!

Love the larkins !!! Price of pig food is enough to scare you to DEFF, xxxx
Can anyone tell me what this felt like in real time? It's just such a masterpiece, really.
Yes it was like this in the 50s& 60s , reminds of my mam & dad so much !!! XX
I was fortunate to grow up in this time. Lot of happy memories ❤️

Another British film good cast comedy
Anyone know what episode was filmed in the jackdaw pub
A person from Far East would wonder why they called lunch “dinner”. 😉
Because it is the main meal of the day and tea usually consists of something light such as a sandwich.
I'd love those two women fighting over me
Thank you mu mu 🙏
Hope that ITV doesn’t ruin this series with their remake The Larkin’s
Catherine would drive any young man insane just looking at her .
She's an absolute babe! All the guys would've been after her!
She was my teenage crush so beautiful.
@@allyhamilton4056 I love the bit where Mariette says", You wouldn't want to be away all day." He'd be worried about the other guys falling for her. And what guy wouldn't?
A bit different from Flying Officer X's 'Purple Plain'.
Kent isn't like this anymore. Sadly.
When did it change?
Huh, how did they get an American deuce and a half? Very nice.
Can somebody clue me in please?
I just started watching this for the first time ,why is he going around kissing these other women in episode 2?
He seems happy with his wife and his wife knew about the one at least so what did I miss??

Britbox sucks. Thanks for uploading this.
Naughty girl drinking port after that announcement 😬😅
Kerry H why ?
In this Catherine is the perfect woman. sigh ....
I dont get Sids obsession with kissing Edith....but other than that, i love the show
Always give them a bit of what they want, make 'em happy, it doesn't cost him anything and spreads the love around... and its not just Edith, its the two old sisters, as well. And Ma gets it! She knows he's just being kind to the poor lonely old things...
Wasn't an enjoyable movie!!!
It was fun then, but it's charm is rusty.
robert b. howse No it’s not rusty at all.
oh no... fantasies never get rusty. I've seen the movie version of this story - this series is much better, you really get to know this lovable family
Get stuffed rusty ! EMMERDALE , now that is rusty for sure !!!
