I see BBC2 have a new series starting tonight [in 2016]: Back In Time For The Weekend. Tonight the 1950s.
Some of us were in it long before presenter Giles Coren and the participants the Ashby-Hawkins family.

That stylish young man (the black and white one) looks as though he would have been full of mischief.
ReplyDeleteMoi?
DeleteI never saw the British original of this series, but the CBC made a Canadian version which I did watch and enjoy. Made me glad to live in the here and now.
ReplyDeleteWe have our comforts, but the 50s and 60s were much kinder times so long as you fitted in.
DeleteThose were the days when all schoolboys wore short trousers until they were in the 6th form! Hard to believe it now!
ReplyDeletePerhaps not quite until 6th form in my day, but I do remember the school uniform with tiny 1st form caps perched on huge 6th form heads.
DeleteI think I watched the series in 2016, although the lad in the picture doesn‘t look familiar.
ReplyDeleteThe TV family were a bit self-important. I was shy and retiring.
DeleteI was born in 1950 and so I recognize that era! I will be 75 this year. Yikes! How did I get so old so quickly?! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wonder exactly the same thing.
DeleteThat young man in the black and white picture, the one with the knobby knees and the earnest look on his bespectacled face...I wonder what happened to him? I am going to guess that he grew up to be a good human bean!
ReplyDeleteI hope so. I wonder too.
DeleteIs that you Tasker? :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the TV show.
When I saw the lad in the TV show, it immediately made me think of that picture. At the seaside in Filey.
DeleteClearly your modish sense of style began when you were just a lad. But what is the left kneecap saying to the right one?
ReplyDelete"What's he got in that bucket?"
"I'm not sure but it stinks!"
Are you sure it's the bucket that stinks, or something else?
DeleteLEFT KNEECAP: Well it could be his disposable nappy I suppose but his mother claims she got him out of them last year.
DeleteThey did not have disposable nappies in the 1950s. Only the best terry towel.
DeleteI haven't seen the new ones. I enjoyed the corner shop one they did in my home town of Sheffield.
ReplyDeleteThis is a re-post from 2016, so I don't think there is a new series.
DeleteThanks for visiting. Fascinating cartoons on your blogs.
