I absolutely love old British TV drama's and movies. They sure don't make them like they used to. May these classics live on forever.
I totally agree my friend👍👏👏👏
Stories were usually developed more slowly in front of a patient audience used to 3 channels .
Many of the fine actors in these dramas do not ,in my view have an equal quality today .
Too much gloss today and less substance and character in the performances ...
Hear, hear, Justin.
If it was made today for the sake of "inclusiveness" it would probably have a few actors from ethnic minorities in it even though that would detract from historical accuracy.
Dont you EVER apologize for a show being dated. Never never. Thats what gives it such charm. I love them. Keep em' coming!
Well said! I absolutely treasure these gems. They are so much better than what they produce today.
Tout à fait!!!
@@nlcrme exactly could not have said it better myself
Amen!! well said - dated is what it is - what's real right and good - what we WANT!
I agree , I was born in 2000 and this is one of my favourite series of all times , even if they do drone at times …the atmosphere and acting however is superb!
I live in the moors in Yorkshire in a little place named Walsden and its a blessing to breath the air & see such beauty in the scenery.
Have you ever been to the Brontes house/ museum?
En seriooo, woouu, la verdad nonimagino los paisajes que inspiraron a las bronte
I LOVE these old movies. They are so much better, more incredible, and more accurate than anything produced more recently.
Production values were so much better, more beautiful, and more authentic back then ... a true golden age for BBC dramas, imo. Thank you for uploading!
its an ITV production not BBC 😮😮
These are the best! I have such a hard time finding them on UA-cam. Thank you ever so much for sharing this!!
I love these old movies too. It illustrated a lifetime when we love taking walks, enjoying mother nature. No Electronics. They sang, hosted dinner parties and read novels. History reminds us that the Brontes provided the best of the best entertainment the time had to offer😢
Thank you, Dale J. It is a rare treat to get to see dramas of such high quality, of the era before the BBC regrettably went into stark decline.
beautiful, and greatly appreciated, my Grandfather was from Haworth, and Michael Kitchen years before Foyle!
I saw this originally as a young woman and enjoyed it very much. Now I am a much older woman I am enjoying it again. Thanks for the upload
These old movies do remind me of watching a play but still entertaining. I do enjoy watching them.
That’s what I love about these old shows scenes with dialog like plays
My second time watching this piece of great history,on this channel,thank yo 😊
I was 13 when this was first broadcast; I always remembered the music. Can't believe I've seen it again after all these years!
Those brilliant yet troubled children, creating a world of their own, sheltered from the brutalities of an existence just beyond their door. A graveyard filled with children's graves, laying under mouldering stones, flat wide ones that prevented the graves from decomposing the inhabitants, disease filled water flowing down the steep cobbles to the very cups that killed the innocents. Up at the top, within throwing distance were the pubs that Branwell crawled home from, to the bed he shared with his father who tried so very hard to keep him alive. The girls withering away, and all the while the wind wuthered around and the rooks barked harshly from twisted limbed trees. Oh what a wild and wonderful place Haworth is.
Susan you should be an authoress. Your comment was so visual I felt I was transported to Haworth, England!
S M. That's poetry; I really enjoyed it. As a lad born & raised in Haworth in the 1950's & 60's I can relate to it very well. Having spent many happy days roaming freely on the moors of Haworth, perhaps I can add a bit to the 'feel' of the place, as follows...
The playground of the Brontë sisters - mysterious wild places - bleak heather moorland and marsh, a symphony of peaty brown beck's and brooks tumbling down falls of millstone grit and the solitary, mournful cry of curlew & skylark.
How beautiful, you are gifted ma'am
Uhm, Emily and Charlotte went to Brussels, they saw Liszt play, once in Halifax, second time in Brussels, Charlotte travelled extensively, to the Lake District, London...
@@urbandiscount and…?
This is beyond a treasure - just what I needed and wanted. Thank you!!!
The last time I watched this, I was 12; now I'm nearly 60. Ah well! I'm looking forward to this. I remember having a bit of a crush on Michael Kitchen. He reminded me of Tony Hopkin's portrayal of Pierre in War and Peace from '71. That's a stunning adaptation. Thank you so much for uploading this.
Awe thank you for such a lovely comment Deborah, and also for sharing such a beautiful memory X
I too had a crush on Michael Kitchen! He was in a production of Dorian Gray at the Greenwich Theatre. I got his autograph but he was with Joanna Lumley so I didn't stand a chance! Oh, and I was only 12!
Oh thats lovely!! Ive had a crush on him my whole life. Still do
me too
What timing of this upload! I just finished a novel on the Brontes, after reading Elizabeth Gaskell’s Biography of Charlotte last year and 4 of the Bronte books! The filming is so true to their story. Tragic and yet their books have so much depth compared to modern day novels. Thanks for uploading!
& thank you too Monica for taking the time to view & comment on my upload, it is very much appreciated x
If only they could make another drama on the most famous yorkshire family like this. love it . The Brontes of Howarth such a big fan.
I can watch this video over and over.
I lived in England right through the Seventies. I reveled in these BBC anf ITV Period Dramas! Thanks for these uploads, and Greetings from the Wilds of Wyoming. 🙋🏼♀️🏔❄️🌠
lucky you l visited Wyoming it was amazing travelled for days and still in the state 😊so much to see
Melanie O'Hara Wish I had. Greetings from yet another American in France :-))))
I'm from Idaho and am enjoying this immensely!
Poor father, all of his children died way before him..
Thankyou for this, so important for these gems to be made available to those wanting a decent adaptation. Without being "witch hunted".
Thank you Axel for your kind comment it's much appreciated 👏👏👏
@@DaleJoyce My pleasure
Tragic but wonderful series. Thank you very much for uploading :) So many great period dramas were made in the 70s and I`m very, very glad that I found this gem.
Nice people like you is what makes taking the time to do uploads worthwhile, thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed the upload!
:- )
xx
Ah the 1970’s - the little Brontë girls with their bouffant hairdos 😆
Thanks so much for loading this wonderful series.
Thank you, I'm pleased you enjoyed it my friend x
i love how clear everything is. im learning a lot from these old movies. thanks for uploading.
Love these 70s shows, always well done. Thanks.
I enjoyed how they discussed the politics of Verdopolis with such sincerity- shows how imaginative they were - as a writer I could only hope to have their imagination!
Wonderful and Thank you Xx
what a breath of fresh air these nonconformists are! these clever, sensitive, brooding people. we seem to have seriously devolved since. or I suppose such personalities are always rare.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful series, I did not see this when it was broadcast. I love anything with Alfred Burke, a marvellous actor.
Isn't it interesting that we can date this as 70s at a glance even though it's a period drama!? What a great upload - dated as you say in the description but lovely for all that.
The thing that "dates" it is only the production quality (video, editing, and poor hair/make-up). But it is phenomenal. It was really the golden age of British Historical dramas.
How wonderful, I shall save this for tomorrow so I can watch on a bigger screen. I just visited their parsonage at Haworth
Brilliant ..Patrick is played exactly as I like to imagine him 🏘️
Thank you for sharing this absolute gem!!
Thank you for your kind comment Michael! 😃
@@DaleJoyce
The BBC was once so great...Thanks for reminding us.
its an ITV production not BBC😮😮😮
Love it now, as we did all those Years ago. Fabulous !! ❤❤
I remember watching this, but never got to finish it...I do recall the lovely singing in the inn!
Was it Martin Carthy singing in the inn? It certainly sounded like him!
@@juliao8428 Yes, I do believe it might've been!
There are precious series and gets even better with age--
Cant thank you enough for these precious videos. Thanks
Thanks a lot ✨🧡🧡
I am watching this from Montreal, Canada. This is a great performance. The dark life of the Brontes...
Thanks for up loading enjoyed this
Cold and rainy day film.
...lovely history lesson....
Thank you for this, it saves me having to spend 14 quid on a boxset, though I gladly would for this!
Anytime my frend!
Catnip to any Brontephile. Such detail and depth - all the actors are first class. In the beginning the music's too loud but pretty soon it calms down. It was wonderful to see all the characters in Bronte history brought to life.
Thank you so much for this upload, what a treasure I'm watching it on a cold and rainy morning in Cape Town. Grateful thanks and kind regards
Love watching the brontes and visiting Haworth xx
I'm with ya Rebecca, me too xx
@@DaleJoyce I absolutely love the history of Haworth and the brontes and its lovely to see others see it the same 👍😊😻
No wonder Branwell turned out the way he did, if there is any truth to the story that he forced, against his will, to view his sister Maria’s body before burial. 😳😳😳
At the very beginning of this, when I heard Barbara Leigh-Hunt’s beautiful voice as the narrator (Aunt Branwell), I knew this was going to be a production of high quality; the beauty of her diction and speaking voice are only second to one woman’s, in my estimation, and that woman is Anna Massey. The other characters seem very real to me, which doesn’t happen very often, and is somehow not very dated. I can’t say the same for the productions of “Jane Eyre,” “Wuthering Heights,” and Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” and “Sense and Sensibility,” which are all extremely stilted and unnatural....devotees of the novels will know what I mean.
Loved Anne Massey's voice
I thought it was Anna Massey; I agree, she has a beautiful voice and I love her
How odd. I just began watching this and thought it was Anna Massey narrating too. Pretty sure, though, that it is the great Martin Carthy singing in the public house scenes. Can anyone confirm or correct?
Pity they all didn't have Irish/Yorkshire accents as the sisters did....
You just don't get quality dramas like this anymore .It is all about tick-boxing and social engineering . Thank goodness there is a great archive - which becoming more and more available.
the way Patrick smirks at his children asking about their mother and their aunt Branwells ‘duty’ to look after her sosters children- iconic
What unearthly looking children. Perfect !
Excellent
Alfred Burke a giant of an actor along with Jeremy Brett. The scene where Alfred Burke goes into the shop to by the toy soldiers must be the museum by Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds.
The young actors playing the Bronte children all look as though they are actual siblings.
Interesting the writer also wrote script for film, ‘Ben-Hur’. He was the first of a couple of writers’ for that film.
Actor Michael Kitchen has appeared in many UK dramas’, most notably ‘Foyle’s War’.
The father ( Bronte) came from poverty in Ireland & went on to get a 1st at Cambridge
Once I had a dream after I saw a movie about the Bronte Sisters.It was a very tragic dream which turned out to be true after 6 months.
That Aunt making Branwell look at his dead sister is cruel.
Absolutely wonderful
Totally agree Rachel x
Thank you for uploading!
Oh my goodness. There's someone i know in it. Had no idea. They've now sadly passed on so it's lovely to see them here. Thank you!
Such a great period drama. No one does dramas like the British do.
Thank you Justin for your kind comment, it's much appreciated my friend 👍👏👏👏
@@DaleJoyce thank you for uploading these videos. Have a wonderful day. God bless my friend. ✝️
Thanks for uploading this
Really pleased you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment too.
Lovely series...
Is there nothing Michael bloody excellent Kitchen cannot do? Good grief!
You should never make a child look at the dead if they do not wish to.
I totally agree, maybe tho its how things was back then x
@@DaleJoyce Hello Dale, yes in those times they had a different approach to death and were closer to it, such as not having funeral parlours but having to lay out and displaying the body at home, but even so, I do not think it was right that a child be forced to look at his dead loved one’s. It is bad enough having to do it when an adult as I have had to many times, it never gets easy. x But hey! Thank you for showing this great little gem of a show. I have it on a boxed DVD set which I forgot I had until I saw your youtube. 🌹
@@bardotte5757Hi Bardotte, I agree with all you say and have also been close to loved ones who've died, even finding them on a couple of occasions, re the dvd box set, again me too :- ) that's where the upload came from x
Un grand merci pour partager 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I saw this the first time around and I thought it was really really good. It's great to see it again and it's still as good. How accurate are the accents? Charlotte sounds like the queen. In the new production about the Brontes called To walk invisible, we hear Yorkshire accents. Did they have Yorkshire accents?
According to some biographers Charlotte in particular moved freely from Irish to Yorkshire to Cornish (the accent of Aunt Bramwell) depending on who she was speaking to. Emily was broad Yorkshire but a natural mimic.
I recently heard in a documentary that the girls had their father’s Irish accent, since they were mainly around him and themselves their whole lives.
Nothing can beats the British movies and tv shows 📺🏰🌎🇬🇧 Billions times better than the Hollywoods and rest of the world
also must must watch “ NORTH and SOUTH “ 1975 / rating: 9/10
Couldn’t hear the dialogue for music I don't know what the makers were thinking. They are still doing the same today with films .can never hear any of it for the dam music
That graveyard is scary, peaceful and crowded so much,
Thankyou Dale J.
I was thinking exactly the same thing Picky
Aunt Branwell was a piece of work
Emily saw right through her though
A dutiful person to take their mother's place
But I'm guessing a lot less kind and compassionate
I agree my friend, dutiful being a perfect one word description.
Fantastic...
I do not understand what is meant by the description above that describes this film as "dated." What else could it be? How would you present a depiction of the Brontes in 19th century England in a way that was not dated? Ha ha...I really would like to know.
Love this 💕💕💕
An amazing family!
music so loud, can't hear the speakers, too bad..
Fight for Animals Rights! ❤
Well Said!
Love from guwahati
Great to see this again, really really good. Did they have those accents or Yorkshire accents? Which would be closest to the real brontes, this production or To walk Invisible? I loved them both.
To walk Invisible was appalling. Laughably bad
Apparently they had Irish accents as children like their Father but as they go older they developed Yorkshire accents.
In episode one we see Branwell looking at a memorial in the church that has Rev P Bronte on it. Is this a mistake as the father was still alive at the time? Maybe I'm missing something. One of my favourite serials.
It's not a memorial for the father Patrick. It's for his wife Maria and their first two daughters Maria and Elizabeth.
It reads: "In memory of Maria, wife of the Rev'd P. Bronte. A. B. minister of Haworth. She died Sept. 25th, 1821 in the 39th year of her age.
And here lie the remains of Maria Bronte, daughter of the aforesaid. She died on the 6th May, 1825 in the 12th year of her age.
Also Elizabeth Bronte, their daughter. She died June 15th, 1825 in the 11th year of her age "
Thanks for that.
Bramwell knows in his heart he has a drinking problem, his shyness precipitated this, and he knows he is wrong, but is devastated that he keeps failing... He needs Jesus.
Aunty was a selfless lady really.
What's with the girl's 1950's hairdos?
The actual parsonage is much smaller and feels very claustrophobic to a modern person.
I think that is because people were naturally smaller back then and they unfortunately didn't live very long lives due to lack of advancement in medications.
When they mentioned "proambulation", l thought they were actually going to take a walk outside. Lol They seem so repressed at times and seem to resent thier aunt.
They used to make some
Good shows 70s 8os
The background music was giving me a headache! I only got ten
Minutes in, and had to stop watching
Yes, it is rather sentimental & irritated me within the first few minutes, though not enough to stop me watching & enjoying it. I think that the wild heather moorland & tragic lives of the Brontë family suggests something more rousing. I know this because I was born & raised in Haworth. The music here would be more appropriate for The Cottingley Fairies, not the wild & mysterious peaty wet moorland - the beck's and brooks tumbling down falls of millstone grit and the solitary, mournful cry of the curlew and twittering skylark of my childhood adventures :-)
@@davidlambert7725 my goodness, you write beautifully, I almost felt I was reading from a book.
@@frenchfancy That's very kind of you! Thank you. Back in the days of unfettered childhood freedoms I was, from a very young age, allowed to roam the moors of Haworth. Those happy hours, days & years have left an indelible impression on me & I'm very lucky to still live in the locality. My wife & I make regular excursions to Haworth from our home in Skipton, 30 minutes away.
Really, I enjoyed the haunting music. Reminded me of the music from Wuthering Heights 1970 Opening. You can hear it here. Starts about 2 min into movie. Watch the movie, too. It's great (missing last part of story, thoo, ends at Cathy's death) ua-cam.com/video/E1zMVqm_Z0w/v-deo.html
Is that Top Withens at the very beginning? I went a few years ago and there's far less of it now, if so.
Does anyone know the real names of the children featured in Act 1...???
My son is called Branwell.
POR FAVOR POSTAR OS FILMES EM PORTUGUÊS OU CASTELHANO
Subtitles would help. Some dialogues are rather muffled.
Sounds like Anna Massey. ❤
Pueden traducir está magnífica miniserie en castellano.
As usual, the English pay no attention to the facts - the Brontes also had Maria and Elizabeth, children who died very young.
exciting stuff BRAMWELL is a bit of a loose cannon
It's better to watch old TV shows and movies. Ones made before the world went made and everything became woke.
