Bread was a British television sitcom written by Carla Lane and set in Liverpool, about a close-knit working-class family. The BBC produced it, and it aired on BBC1 from May 1, 1986, until November 3, 1991. The series' ratings peaked at 21 million viewers in 1988.
The series followed the extended Boswell family of Liverpool, who lived in the Dingle neighbourhood. The family was Catholic and working-class, and was commanded by Nellie Boswell, an acid-tongued matriarch who governed her family with an iron grip. Her children attempted to generate enough money (in English slang, "bread") to maintain the family through various criminal ways in the early episodes. Later series placed a greater emphasis on the protagonists' love lives and marriages, with less emphasis on earning money scams.

I remember watching bread as if it was yesterday how time flies.
I loved how the actors used to have a stab at the accent, then forget after a few lines.
Top sunday tea time telly.
Anyone else think the 2nd Joey wasn't as good..for me the show wasn't the same without the original joey
The 2nd one was awful!
Where's me pudding
Thanks for Watching My *Bread Cast & Characters Then and Now* Video. Bread: The Complete Collection Series 1-8 [DVD]** - amzn.to/3PHKKFK
I only liked bread cuz of joey Boswell he was handsome
met peter howitt such a lush and nice mam
That was brilliant 💪👏👍
Carla Lane was simply amazing. I loved The Liverbirds. Gave me a great fondness for the Scouse accent. I visited Liverpool and had a great weekend. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Butterflies was also a great sitcom by her too.
Great comdey
Never heard of this show. Thanks for a good post!
It was a great show
Graham Bickley was more likely a chat show guest on Wogan
Brillant
Did Peter Howitt star in Sliding Doors ? I know he directed or produced it. I know you can’t put everything down he starred in but, I think one of his first roles after Bread was in “ Coasting “ on ITV, filmed in Blackpool. He starred as Eddie, a cockney wide boy who went from London to a funeral in Blackpool and had to stay there as some heavies were after him and his brother.
Loved Coasting
@@donnadebnam8142 it was ace. I never understood why they only made one series of six episodes as it had a decent storyline that could have run
@@SiRhodesDriverTraining totally agree with you, would have been great to have another series.
Where is the DHSS lady
Unfortunately there is very little information about the actress, so that is why she hasn't been included.
An enjoyable review.
Thank you!
Greetings! Said by Joey, lol. Loved the programme but kinda lost interest after Joey changed.
Me to it just wasn't the same without the original joey
I'm from Liverpool. Watched it when it was first on because there were only 4 channels and we would all watch whatever my parents watched at that time of day. Hate it now, awful stereotype of people from Liverpool.
Well, Carla Lane (Romana Barrack) the writer, was born, bred & died in the Liverpool area.
People tend to write about what they know.
As regards "stereotypes" I take your point....But!.. Those of us in the real world know such families exist all over Britain.
@@patagualianmostly7437 like I'm not in the real world? I was brought up not far from where that horrid programme was filmed so I'm only too aware of what goes on. Carla Lane may well be from the city but wasn't brought up around the poverty and had no clue what the reality was like so wrote from stereotypes.
Agree 100%. Brookside was another that did us no favours. I found the final episode of Bread very sour, quite depressing really.
@@tazzatamania Apparently she rejected that idea.
@ 1.30 that's Frank Skinner in a wig
Joey was My fav
Why can’t you keep the information up for longer?
Thanks for your feedback. Will do in future videos.
been to liverpool met some of the the cast then went to london watch it filmed at the bbc met more of the cast incl gillly, eileen, martine and carla lane so yeah met most but not jack and Adrian
met peter h in darlo will never forget the date 15 April 1989
as it was sadly the day of the Hillsborough tragedy as i arranged a private meet n greet whilst he was at the darlington civic in stiff options and it was just starting to unfold
Too bloody fast!!! Y can't u slow down this vid??!!!!!
+ the terrible music, let's be honest it was a load of crap series, nostalgia always blurs your memories
@@pauliepaul3697 Still better than the crap they show in TV today, everything is just ticking boxes now.
I haven't seen this programme on television in years, will repeats not be aired.
Never seen this one repeated on TV. Don't know why.
It was on drama channel several times
What happened to the other actress that played Julie?
Unfortunately, very little information about the actress available. So not included here.
@@classictvrewind7719 what about Roxy.
Hopefully you have worked out how to do a video where you put text on the screen long enough for the viewer to actually read the fucking thing! Interesting fact here . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dreadful series all trying to speak a scouse accent.
Most of the cast were from Liverpool and Merseyside area, except for Nick Conway who was from Shropshire and Melanie Hill who played the second Aveline she was born in Brighton but raised in Sunderland. Kenneth Waller was from Yorkshire.
@@jane1975 yes, but some scousers can not speak original scouse but have a television version just like Cilla Black had.
