Classic Emmerdale ITV3

[JaneJeffer]

Anyone watching?

Actual farming, little Robert Sugden, young looking Pollard, Chris Tate, Seth Armstrong...

Yes, I know! But at least the Citroen 2CV had a bit of character. Even if it was a wreck.

I love the wallpaper in the Home Farm lounge (and Jack in his manky farm gear on a white sofa)

Frank bringing Sam the goldfish in a bag (it looked like a carrot stick in water) and of course its in a rubbishy plastic bowl with no weeds.

Jack showing where Robert gets the Smugden from there

Seeing Joe change his shirt reminded me of why I had such a massive crush on him back in the day!

I'm finding it hilarious that today I've watched 1990 Kim telling Caroline Bates what a lovely man Chris is and then 2019 Kim being annoyed that his son is still alive after she put a hit on him!

It's like having a crystal ball and knowing their futures!
Archie is now Hargreaves in Line of Duty.
I'm puzzling over the scenery though. I know that what's in the classics at the mo' they're using a real village for the outside shots, and at some point after the plane crash they made a purpose built village/facade, but in the classics near the pub there's a Station Rd and a viaduct in the background of some shots.
Surely the plane crash didn't wipe out the railway ?
The cottages opposite the pub seem different too.

Bloody hell that truck frightened the life out of me!

Robert is so cute

Was that Sammy Rogers from Brookside in the background of the tap room?

I've missed a few episodes. Has Annie given the farm car (grey Ford Escort) to Rachel yet?

I seem to remember Annie gave her the car to go away to university with. Was it Leeds Uni or Lancaster?

I was always spellbound when Jack took his shirt off

All that lovely thick black hair on his chest and arms!

Phwooarr!!

She gave it to her after she passed her A levels.

The garage that the Escort came from was our local one. We had a silver one with almost the same reg number plate!

Drunk Archie was hilarious "Frank Potato"

I've got a Just This Side of Love earworm...

Oh me too Jane! I can’t get shut of it 😂
I can’t bear the simpering Kathy but she seemed much more human when she was singing.
(walks away humming .....)

Oh yes JaneJeffer, "Frank Potato" !
(Almost as funny as Alf calling Reg bicycle face in classic Corrie!).
I don't remember Cathy being so annoying.
Love seeing Sarah getting stuck in at Emmerdale (and how she never reacts to Jack when he's cross).

I didn't remember Kathy being like that either. She's a right whinger!

What happened with the Alan Turner's stallion mounting Kim's prize mares? I don't know how long ago that was (in Soap years) but I don't think I've heard about any foals.

Looks like the foal is due any minute now cherry

Yes I saw today's. Should have known that it's not like today's Corrie, stories actually have a conclusion!

Michael Ball on Loose Women looks like the love-child of Frank Tate and Alan Turner.

Now that I'm older and (slightly) wiser, I'm liking Alan Turner, he's a pompous twit but I think he's got a very soft caring side as well.
I wish I could somehow put the brakes on and stop it morphing into the Emmerdale of today which I just fast forward most of.
Maybe because my lifestyle back then was so similar to the characters in Emmerdale and I wish it had never changed!
