I watched the Christmas Day/Boxing Day episodes, they were very low key 
I was hoping that Annie Sugden was going to cook up a huge Christmas Dinner but it looked like a normal Sunday roast.
All the walking about with a new puppy and a horse.
No Weddings.
No murders (yet)
And out to feed the sheep, milk the cows.
The blonde haired pregnant woman, I remember her . She was quite snidey in later episodes . I never saw her DH , Pete though, before now.

The worst thing about Classic Emmerdale is that when I turn on the TV the end of Heartbeat is on and I have to see Bellamy aka Daz 
Jason Kirk is in it too. Wonder if he'll ever return to Emmerdale.

Yes I remember the controversy at the time.
It's sad watching this knowing what happened to Sarah in the end
Robert is so cute with his snowman bobble hat. Wasn't Christopher Smith a lovely little boy.

I realised today I was mixing up Whitley's Farm with Wiley's Farm!
Kim seems so sweet in these episodes

Have they had New Years Eve yet?
Someone mentioned a Fancy Dress Party, Mr Wilks said it was a busy night in the Woolpack and she said "Close for the night"
So if everyone goes to the party, no-one at the Woolie though they might all end up there for a Lock In / Private Party

Dolly had the party in her house. She dressed as Aphrodite and nobody had a clue who she was supposed to be The Woolie was dead.

I'm really enjoying watching these again, it's the only soap that I've watched consistently (although I tend to watch with one eye these days...).
Love how they're tackling real farming issues, sheep welfare, infected slurry, the price of carp etc.
My brain's finally clicked into gear and remembered that Rachel is Joe Tate's mum, I'd forgotten that storyline.
Joe Sugden was controlling but David Hughes gave me the creeps!

People actually talking about being on welfare and doing ET Schemes is so much more realistic than nowadays when they lose their job and never even mention getting any benefits.
I love all the different locations they use as well. It's a much less claustrophobic atmosphere. I know they couldn't do that now having to shoot six episodes a week. Also there's far less characters for the same reason.
Amos's jukebox was hilarious
Did the psychic give Kathy her ring back?

I loved everyone taking the piss out of Alan Turner, the way they all joined in was so funny.
And Amos thinking Henry is going to bump him off

For some odd reason, the episode with Amos and the new-fangled microwave has stuck in my mind for all these thirty years!
It's probably because we got our first microwave around the same time (1989?)
So I'm tickled that it's being shown again tomorrow.
Easily pleased, me....

This exchange between Joe and Kate
You're very brave.
Women have to be.
