I used to love watching this series when it first aired , it brings back many lovely memories of sitting watching with my late Mum. She would tell me about her experiences growing up in the war . She was 11 when it began and used to tell me about her little gang of kids running around South London and seeing a german plane shot down . She said when the sweet rationing stopped years later , she went and bought a pound of Milk chocolates , ate them and was sick as a dog ! Just discovered this today and have been snuggled up watching and thinking about my Mum .. She died in May 2019 . thanks so much for posting this , it's made my day xx
The Victorian Kitchen Garden and The Victorian Flower Garden are two more programmes from this BBC series that are as good as this. I also love watching Two Fat Ladies, they were great no nonsense personalities as well as great cooks.
@@GinaSigillito I was blown away by the comment and clocked the date you wrote it. I don't think I articulated well enough how I wrote my response. Indeed, these films make me feel grateful too. But make no mistake, we have an awful lot of people who do not seem grateful for how easy the last couple of generations have had it. Even now, with a global pandemic, we have it relatively easy in the west. I hope I'm wrong, but I do fear things will get much worse before they get better. Wishing you well. Maybe you should change your name to Nostradamus! 😂
What a lovely series. During this pandemic we can take encouragement and hope with shortages and restrictions right now. Using ideas born of war for the present time. Nothing is wasted. I’m glad and grateful to have found this. Thanks for putting this series out there for all. 😊
A wonderful informative and entertaining series. At this point I begin to wonder if I remember correctly from the first episode that the lady came to Ruth's with a son. where did he go for most of the series? Haven't seen him until the end of this episode. Lol
When I was in primary school, about 10 years old, my teacher was telling us about the war and how she was raised in the 40s in London, and she described the V1 rockets in a very similar way! They'd hear the noise of the rocket flying overhead and hope and pray that that sound wouldn't cut out. Even at a young age that really got to me, I can't even imagine how terrifying it must've been sitting in a shelter hoping your neighbourhood doesn't get destroyed
The way they built the bonfire is the same way as I was taught by my grandfathers and father, without the drainpipe, I always wondered where they learnt how to do it the way they did, and now I know and I am grateful for that skill they passed on. My grandma used to make salad cream, never “mayonnaise “ not sure exactly what the ingredients were but it was far superior to anything you can buy today, I wish she had passed that recipe down through the family. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Hi Steve I was born in Ilford in 1939 and do have memories of the time . These videos remind me of my childhood and are quite close to truth. I climbed trees , watched people build haystacks on the parks tennis courts, had picnics when it was gathered in, bombs in next street and sleeping in indoor metal shelter. I went to 3 different primary schools by the time I was six..because of bombing. 🙄
We lived in Herent Drive. My father was a Spitfire pilot and then went back as a science teacher in Mayfield boys school. The haystacks were in Clayhall park..The sound of an air raid siren still turns my belly over all these years later.
Yeah what a load of propaganda. Reminds me of the heavy vegan agenda going on in our days now. Animal products are the most nutrient dense foods people can eat.
@jomiller2 You are correct So many thousands of doctors and registered dietitians have been on the carnivore diet for many years now they’ve all lost weight. They all have good blood work and so the decades of propaganda of eating vegetables and fruit fruits and grains has been disproven over and over and over again, and hopefully soon the sheep will stop lying to themselves about what they’ve done to their bodies, their entire lives.

In the Netherlands and Belgium (flemish part) it’s the only name. My grandfather had an ‘AHA’ moment when he helped us study for English. ‘A match? That’s a game, when you play with teams against one and another it’s called a match…it really is a Lucifer? So…that’s why they called those tiny cars of your dad matchbox cars!’.
I love this series even as we still do the things they did back then with the exception of building a bonfire near a wood fence. Children don't try this at home! We heat entirely with wood so potash is never in short supply.
I got my little stumpy bottles of milk at the end of the 70's just in time before Thatcher the milk snatcher took it away! Tara you missed the joy of warm creamy milk at morning playtime that was never put in the fridge 😂 wouldn't happen now, someone would be hysterical 😂
Good old England,the days of English England. I’m a 60s born lad and remember my grandmothers house and kitchen. The old wireless and her kitchen with no running hot water or refrigerator and a stone flag floor. Good old days. Sure miss England. I left in 81 and returned in 2015. However England is already on its way out as a unified English England. I’m afraid the British government has destroyed it and given it away. No fighting this time though.
Don't count jolly old England out for the count yet !!! After all we English are a remarkable people, and often we don't fully shine until our back is against the wall and all seems lost !!!!
English England? During the war England was not just English its the British Empire and consisted of not just English but all the Empire subjects were the citizen of England and UK including India, Burma, Federated Malay States or Malaysia, Jamaica, Brunei, Borneo and other non English colonies. Any Indian, Malayan, Singaporean, Bruneian, Hong Kong or anyone from other colonies are considered as citizen of the Empire. All the money that England had for the war they get it from all these non English colonies especially India and Malaya. India provided with most of England grains during the war that is why bread was not rationed, without it you English will starve to death with no bread, North Africa provided all the crude oils for the war, Malaya provided all the tin and rubber because the biggest tin mining and rubber plantation industries during that time was in Malaya and all the planes and ammunition and tin-can need the tin and the rubber to made all the war machines. Churchill starved 4 million people in Bengal India when he took all the grain from India to feed you fat English during the war. More than 1 million Indian soldiers participated in the WAR even in Europe. Thousands of Malayan, Singaporean, Burmese soldiers died protecting you English in the English colonies in the far east fighting the Japanese! Many women were rape by them too! So NO!...there were no such thing as old English England during the war. You want the "Good Old English England"? Go back to the Middle ages, now that's the good old English England where the only people you need to worry about are the Scott and the French. Only people who were borne after the war have a naive and dumb notion like you do. People who were alive during the war would not utter such stupid statement. Every year the veteran of the war came to India and, Borneo and Malaya to salute and give flower garland to all the fallen non English soldiers who died protecting "good all England" for you fat lazy English who whined for not having enough meat and butter while people in other colonies just eat grass during the war.
And yet your country who so says went to the moon with a lander, is full of scammers and those that leave your country to come to the uk, start a business, bring your inbred families,and do tax invasion .......... 🙄🙄 👏🖕 Funny your car and motorcycle industry was based on UK transport, Hindustan and royal enfield, as you asshats have to use others designs....😆😆 Even your maruti are japanese.......what a joke 😂😂 As for Tata, they made a mediocre brand untrustworthy and unreliable........bud, bud, Muppets 😂🖕 I drive a British land rover, from 2002, reliable and great before your lot took over 😂😂 Keep scamming and producing sh!t cars.........🖕
Fantastic series, thanks for posting. Mayo out of a potato! What strikes me is the absence of the little boy the young woman brought with her to live with Ruth. They only put him in the cod liver oil scene so far! A bit strange!
That wireless certainly seemed to warm up rather quickly. Reember when at home my parents alarm radio in the 60s took a few minutes after the buzzing stoped and the voice cam through.
That was most likely from a bad capacitor or two in The radio (the electrolytics dry out over time, waxed paper go bad and start conducting, metal whiskers grow...), should be under half a minute in a well made radio with good components.
Yes, still us women exist. Men don't want homely women who cook and sew, keep the garden and home make. They want women in the gym, paying the mortgage and ironing their hair with 3" plastic nails... not much good for making bread, or anything I can think of 🤣

That's the very reason I posted these vids
My mother lived in London during the Blitz, those were scary times.
Hats off to these women who made it happen for their families

The exercise routine Joyce was doing kind of reminds me of my Mom watching Jack LaLane in the 60s.
This series is beautiful. Makes you grateful for everything we have.
Not so much today. We have Covid19 & a high possibility of food shortages to come.
Maybe natures way of encouraging people to show gratitude again.
Miss Me I wrote this months before covid.
@@GinaSigillito I know. Incredible. A premonition maybe?
Miss Me could be. It's eerie, isn't it?

This series reminds me of my great grandmother who was born in 1899. She died in 1994. She stored tissue, v8 juice, and pineapple juice.
I love the tie of the gardener ..all along those videos ..so British
He seems so kind :)
Anybody noticed how sad Judy Garland sounds when she sings "have yourself a merry little Christmas"?
She always does seem to have a "sob" in her voice. .one of its charms, I think.
Listen to her singing it during the movie The Victors. It accompanies the execution of a soldier for cowardice. Chilling.
watched this with my grandparents who lived this all gone now😔
I am enjoying this so much I wish there were more of them

I was born in Ilford (north east London) in March 1943, but I have no memories of those years. I found this series very informative.

That Christmas cake looks GOOOOOOD!!
Watching girl shuck peas my grandmother peeled the inside membranes off inside of the shells so we ate the shells to.
HA! Meat is very nutritious. Not bad for you as the announcer is implying. And margarine is bad for you as we now know, butter is healthy.
Moron.
Their overall health improved because they were eating more vegetables (not rationed), and less meat (rationed).
Yeah what a load of propaganda. Reminds me of the heavy vegan agenda going on in our days now. Animal products are the most nutrient dense foods people can eat.

I have never heard of a match being called a "Lucifer"!
My great-grandparents called them that - was a very old-fashioned term for matches.
In the Netherlands and Belgium (flemish part) it’s the only name. My grandfather had an ‘AHA’ moment when he helped us study for English. ‘A match?

I remember milk being issued at school, back in the 40's and 50's. A Third of a pint, I think it was, and nice and creamy too.
Still got milk in infant school in the 80s, but milk snatcher Thatcher did away with it before i went to primary school
I got my little stumpy bottles of milk at the end of the 70's just in time before Thatcher the milk snatcher took it away! Tara you missed the joy of warm creamy milk at morning playtime that was never put in the fridge 😂 wouldn't happen now, someone would be hysterical 😂
Ahh the kid is back..I thought he may have sent to Canada for the duration..lol
Fabulous upload! Very helpful and informative! ould love it if you could find Victorian kitchen Garden!!!!
@Controversial Chris 'Wartime Farm', was more akin to this series.
I learnt how to prepare Bircher MÜsli when I spent some time in Switzerland when I was a teenager.Yummy!
such a great series

A good substitute of mayonnaise is made with carrots instead of potatoes. Try it.
Fantastic series, thanks for posting. Mayo out of a potato! What strikes me is the absence of the little boy the young woman brought with her to live with Ruth. They only put him in the cod liver oil scene so far! A bit strange!
Or, maybe he was sent off with the children's overseas reception board. There were some in my family that wound up in Canada.
Back when children played outdoors happily for the whole day. 😄
@@amygirl1983 that's true, I forgot those days existed haha
He's right at the end of this episode looking longingly at the cake.
Lol…like exercising…they worked their tails off! But I get it, exercise is very important to work ALL the muscles and it’s great for anxiety…
Love it😀
Where has the little boy disappeared too, he was there before, having his Cod liver oil, yuck
I have been wounding the same thing. Does he not eat?
Outhouse!

The Christmas part made me cry, they are taking away Christmas and Christians. I pray for us all 🙏🤞
Who is? Christmas starts in September now!
Is Paul not allowed to eat with them?
It seems like the oil would be more of a luxury than eggs given most people had chickens
the eggs nee to be handed out to the ration officers.
Where have these sort of Women disappeared to?
Still around, few and far between.😘
A few of us still here.
Where have these men gone, most sit on their butts and play video games or watch tv
Yes, still us women exist. Men don't want homely women who cook and sew, keep the garden and home make. They want women in the gym, paying the mortgage and ironing their hair with 3" plastic nails... not much good for making bread, or anything I can think of 🤣
17:15 Thats what she said.
i wonder if rationing should be a thing today because some people cant help themselves to overindulge whether it is just recklessnes or medical.
Most of these things are great. But the ersatz mayonnaise has no appeal. :)
Just like my Mom, making too many dishes.
Having to use her hard earned calories doing callisthenics,lol.
I thought they where making charcoal.salads are good.
Looks to me Tommy helmets would be better for cooking and washing than the yanks
