Sam circa 1975?

yorkshire drama about the coal miners

mark McManus (taggart) was the older Sam

my grandad was a miner in northeast 

my mum had to shine the brass studs on his clogs every night

and then collect dandelion & burdock for him to make his wine

Long gone days , but they hold a special memory for me

It was filmed near me in 73, the joke at the time was to update the place and look authentic for the period.

I was given a box set of The Invaders not long ago.

Corny, yes in many ways. Still rivetting viewing and the cars and clothes are fucking ace.

Used to love “The Invaders” back in the day, it was originally filmed in the late 60’s but re-run on TV in the UK (mid- late 70’s?) It was as if it was made with tongue firmly in cheek & deliberately cheesy, me & my mates found it hilarious. It was shown around Tea time on Saturdays iirc.

Spot on. The alien ships are fucking brilliant. Resembling scaled up assemblies of toilet roll centres, empty fag packets and upturned Cornetto wrappers.

CGI? Who needs it?

Wife suggested we download Our Yorkshire Farm, a fly-on-wall documentary spin-off following the Yorkshire Vet series. 
 

Done series one and two and just starting series three. Up to now it’s been quite interesting. Basically, a shepherd and shepherdess and their nine kids run a 2000 acre sheep farm. Kids aged between 18 and 3 and, I’ve got to say, it seems a brilliant way of life but proper hard graft.

As we start season three, I can’t help wondering how it can be any different than one and two but everyone a year older.

 

edit - wrong thread topic.

I watched The Street on iPlayer not long ago, if it's the same one.

Manchester street, each episode focused on a different character. Bob Hoskins played the pub landlord?

Yeah there were some absolute belters.

The one with the james bulger type thing going on and Stephen Graham playing that alcy were brilliant. 

Theyd be massive box sets on Netflix and all that now.
