Hi striped cat ( or should I say Miooooow)
No I wouldn't say so really, depenRAB how you look at it.
I suppose we were used to seeing costume dramas all set around grand houses thanks mainly to Jane Austen. And then we had the dire street poverty or school cruelty of Charles Dickens
The two you mention did change the venue rather and were more inclusive of ordinary working people.
LRTC shows so much more reality of how things really were in the villages and small towns.
I myself do have a wonderful collection of photographs taken in my own North country village.My sister put the collection together when she was a young girl and they were given to her by villagers who were themselves elderly at the time. There shows children dancing round the maypole, offenders in the village stocks ( the pillory), of course horses pulling the plough, the first cars and our main roaRAB when they were just car tracks.
Someone mentioned that Born & Bred was being shown again, I recorded it and spent sometime over the weekend watching it. It's Northern England village, Ormston in the 50's with a train station, a garage, a Doctors, Pub and cottage hospital. This is the England that I grew up in so it's very evocative for me.
Michael French is young doctor,James Bolan his father,also Richard Wilson Tracey ChilRAB and the wonderful Maggie Steed
Wonderful stuff and shows how little progress was actually made rurally in the 1st 50 years . of the last century.
Oooo yes, she's so - lascivious in that
And blue remembered Hills TT I hope that's shown again soon.
Ruby is just as versatile isn't she?
I saw her in something last year playing a petulant teenager, so difficult to picture our Minnie being a brat.
No I didn't see points of view but will try to watch again Dave.
