My heart stopped with the car and cat!If Cyril doesn’t get to keep his cat Heidi Thomas better count her days.
Me too. Even the light when filming was colder/ harsh which gave it a realistic feel in the fist few episodes. Now it’s almost all round warmth which doesn’t help the sicklyness of it all.That was so boring. I think I’m going to follow suit and also start watching from Series 1 again.
They can win as the original 3 series proved. They excelled at telling difficult but truthful stories. That's why it's such a disappointing shit-show today.It must be difficult to be a screenwriter looking back on yesterday with today's eyes. I don't think they can win. On one hand all the awful, racist, sexist tv 'comedies' that were broadcast in the 60's and 70's are now mostly (rightly) unacceptable today yet here we are slagging CTM off for being unrealistic. There was horrible, nasty racism and women treated appallingly back then and it would make for really uncomfortable viewing. CTM has fallen into the 'cosy Sunday night light drama' category, especially once they ran out of storylines from Jennifer Worth's books.
But I do love the "suspension of disbelief" type posts on here though :-D
Actually, it is probably the BBC that has brought in the woke agenda that CTM is struggling so much with. The BBC is riddled with men's rights activists.Some new faces on the production team would breathe life into this series. It's made by a production company for the BBC so surely they can feed back to them that they want changes. It's still got so much potential as part social history, part character led stories and part feel good Sunday drama.
I think they were an option to have fitted on new cars back then - posh people only kinda thing, certainly not law until 80sWhy would Trixie and Matthew have had seatbelts on in 1969?
As someone who grew up in a single parent/only child family in the 1970s, it wasn't the lovely, all accepting community as portrayed on CTMI’m bored with Nancy and Collette
I said to my husband. The nuns would NEVER have allowed a single parent and her child live in the house.As someone who grew up in a single parent/only child family in the 1970s, it wasn't the lovely, all accepting community as portrayed on CTM
It was actually still quite harsh.
It is a drama - not real life. But it does annoy me!!!
I was thinking this! Would they also have been so welcoming to Trixie's very overtly gay brother?I said to my husband. The nuns would NEVER have allowed a single parent and her child live in the house.
No! Definitely not! Remember when Jennys ex was being snuck in and out of the boiler room?I was thinking this! Would they also have been so welcoming to Trixie's very overtly gay brother?
I read that as ‘Jenny’s sex’No! Definitely not! Remember when Jennys ex was being snuck in and out of the boiler room?
They fitted them in new cars from around 1967 but werent compulsory to be worn til the 80sWhy would Trixie and Matthew have had seatbelts on in 1969?
