I was 14 when this came out, I’m now 60🥴🤣.?l loved the 40s then and l still do today. I couldn’t wait till the next week to see the next instalment of Carrie. If only there was a time tunnel 🥴.
Thanks for uploading this.I'm 49 and used to look forward to this each week .We had the "puffin club" at school,I bought the paperback book for 25p,It had a screen shot of Carrie holding the scull on the front.Happy days :-)
This is a masterpiece. From the opening shot to inside the carriage, school days out could not have been better captured in flavour. This is teamwork television from the best of TV golden days. You know its a masterpiece when you have scenes which appear somber and yet it does not overcook the broth. The scene where Carrie and Albert Sandwich take a walk after Mrs Gotobed's death is good example. "It's just the way you spoke," said Albert, slightly mocking of Carrie. "This is the first sorrow of my life!" But this is not sorrow. It is sweet. It is like an ice cream recipe that is lost and no one can ever make again. A taste long lost.
Now this is a blast from the past. I actually remember the BBC filming certain scenes for this adaptation in and around Pontycymmer and Blaengarw in the Garw Valley, South Wales. On one particular morning, I recall seeing the cameras and lightning set up in the playground for one particular outdoor scene.
Thank you so much for uploading this. I have looked to buy this series for years. This was one of my mothers and my favourites. You are very appreciated.
This version was repeated in the mid 1980s (about the time I was reading it at school). And it still exists in full in the archives, it wasn't one of the many victims of BBC wiping.
Brian O'Sullivan immigration from The Commonwealth started in the 1950’s after the war. Mostly before it was Irish immigration looking for work and escape from poverty.in the 1930’s.
Hi Phil P, just a note to say how much I enjoyed watching these two first episodes, appreciate you putting them up I’ve been searching for years. Anyway it seems the rest of the series is blocked in the UK. Thought I’d tell you
At last I found out what the last episode end title music is. Nursery suite by Elgar. I heard it on the radio and a brilliant choice for a brilliant series
Juliet Waley, who played Carrie, I thought, was a really good young actress - it's a shame she didn't go on to appear in more things. As far as I know, she did - Dark Towers (1981 - it's on RUclips) She also appeared in the BBC's Miss Marple (The moving Finger - 1985, as the maid Beatrice, also on RUclips) - and lastly, as far as I know, the BBC's adaptation of (The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe - 1988, as Queen Lucy, in the very last episode) After that the trail goes cold? Anyone know of anything else she did?
Perfect little story, all the characters live and breathe and are fully-rounded. Am i the only one to think that perhaps Carrie and Albert eventually marry?
What is the song that the pupils sing in the train at the start? My googling skills are not working out so I'm shouting out. Beginning to think it was composed specially for the '70s TV show!?
By the way, pupils' still love watching this. There's always a few who request a copy of Nina's book - every time I show it. Thanks for keeping this post up.
Via ebay: Carrie's War by Nina Bawden is an unforgettable Second World War story. 'I did a dreadful thing...or I feel that I did, and nothing can change it...' It is the Second World War and Carrie and Nick are evacuated from London to a small town in Wales, where they are placed with strict Mr Evans and his timid mouse of a sister. Their friend Albert is luckier, living in Druid's Bottom with Hepzibah Green who tells wonderful stories, and the strange Mister Johnny, who speaks a language all of his own. Carrie and Nick are happy to visit Albert there, until one day when Carrie does a terrible thing - the worst thing she ever did in her life... Based on her own childhood, Nina Bawden's enchanting story Carrie's War has delighted readers for almost 40 years. 'Nina Bawden is without question one of the very best writers for children' Daily Telegraph ***Perfect for fans of Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian.*** ***Now part of the Puffin Modern Classics series*** Nina Bawden is one of today's best writers for both adults and children. she has often used her own childhood experiences in her books - Carrie's War is set in the mining valley in Wales where she lived as an evacuee in wartime. She studied philosophy, politics and economics at Somerville College, Oxford and finished her first novel the year after she took her degree. She won the Guardian Award for Children's Fiction for The Peppermint Pig.
So he lives with his sister as a fully grown adult but takes issue with taking in brother and sister evacuees because they'd have to share a room and he finds that weird? Lmao people were strange back then.
If you consider when this is set, old people were literally born during the Victorian era. Middle aged people would have been solely raised with that era's views
Where was this filmed? Thanks for posting! Remember this on the BBC in winter. Always helpful to place this in time. Remember teaching the book a few years ago!
Natalie. You won't find this on You Tube or Amazon or anywhere else. Maybe the 2003 version but the BBC wiped the 1974 version years ago. There are the odd video copies floating around but they are very rare.
I lived in these times. I thought Germans would march down our street shooting people after hearing the announcement of the war being announced on the radio on a lovely Sept morning and all the neighbours standing at their own gates saying “ I wonder what will happen “ I was 7 years old
I recall that. Was it a coloured up image, given the 70s tie-dye wash over? Am a visual merchandiser and u mention the 'skull' and it flooded back memories. Thanks ; D! I also remember the end of each ep. with fire and the skull. Pretty scary for kids.

Even though I wasn’t born in this generation, I still enjoy it. We read the book at school and now I’m finally watching it.
I was 14 when this came out, I’m now 60🥴🤣.?l loved the 40s then and l still do today. I couldn’t wait till the next week to see the next instalment of Carrie. If only there was a time tunnel 🥴.
I can remember watching this at school. They *really* don't make children's tv serials like they did in the 70s and 80s.
Your right about that we were lucky to have such great TV shows in the 60s 70s and 80s
That's true, watched them as a kid myself - but the pupils' I share them with now love 'em still.
Bought Carrie's wars from local bookstore and now I'm here.
I absolutely loved this series, would still watch it if was on the box
This is very wonderful...as a person born in this generation I completely love it

I've still got my copy!
I love this book at school I can't believe it's a series
Lovely show and gem of a story. Just the sort that I would read when I was little. The ending made me sad though.
Same here. I had bad dreams about fires for a while afterwards.
I dont know what this is but we were shown this for history class i absolutely loved this and i think lots of other people should watch this

We got the re-runs of this in the 80's school after How we used to live program

thanks for upload, great 70s memories,
I love it were reading it in school😀
loved this...so atmospheric. BBC did some good stuff before they became politically obsessed.
They still do 👀
Brian O'Sullivan immigration from The Commonwealth started in the 1950’s after the war. Mostly before it was Irish immigration looking for work and escape from poverty.in the 1930’s.
The station at the beginning resembles one of the Isle of Man's steam railway stations, with very similar old-school food advert.
I have to watch this for school work bc VE day

I’ve seen it in school.
This was available from the BBC on video, but I think as an educational tape rather than for retail sales.
5:33 "Whoever likes the look of you takes you home". That's kinda sus.
Just wondering where Juliet Waley is now. LOVED her in Angels & also in Carrie's war.
this is my homework for year 6

DVD on amazon
This is the 1974 version
Is this a complete series. I never saw this in Australia but love this episode.
@johnnysad123. Only two versions of this book. The 1974 tv series and the 2003 BBC TV film which is widely available.
Ha.. Here I am bingeing on marmalade, and there's a marmalade sign behind the youngsters..

Why did they wipe and how do you get it if it had been wiped? Also, which is better this or the 2003 film?

*Just like the book...*
Poor Mrs Evans looks so exhausted...

is this the same as the book or is there a movie that is the same as the book ?
What happened to Carrie and Nicklaus mum and dad
I recall that. Was it a coloured up image, given the 70s tie-dye wash over? Am a visual merchandiser and u mention the 'skull' and it flooded back memories. Thanks ; D! I also remember the end of each ep. with fire and the skull. Pretty scary for kids.
there is a film on carries war wow
+Doggy MA This is 1 year old. This is also a useless and irrelevant comment.
through the dragons eye, this, oh memoirs of care free ignorant childhood in the midst of stressful gcse's and college applications.
does anyone know the teachers name ...
Emma Cremnitz.
It’s all about Carrie and nick are evacuated to the country side I read the book
Ive seen the original 2003 movie from bbc
Year 2003 produced original by BBC before duplicate year 1974,do you think?
The girl that plays Carrie, looks like the girl that played Violet the blueberry girl on Willie Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory.
Andrew Tunney played Nick. He was later quite involved in youth politics and went to work in Hong Kong. Does anyone have the other episodes?
I don’t like reading so I think I’m gonna watch the movie
yaaaaaaaaa
Same
Albert looks like Harry Potter lol.
