The Woodentops 1958

[Cool2BCeltic]

This programme really espoused family values.

[BaalZobel]

I used to sympathise with spotty dog, Bath, no way!

[sentineldg8]

brings tears to my eyes especialy the closing titles,a childhood gone by thankyou

[FKTHPOPE]

[ianmlees]

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;

Or close the wall up with our English dead.

[immensecat]

Yeah...we've got iphones and facebook.....what riches! And diversity REALLY worked out well, didn't it?

[MrLoxley123]

Those were the day.

[TheSinlow]

During my time in the army we always refered to any of the Guards Reg as a Woodentop.

Nothing personal

[drwhatson]

"Mrs. Scrubbit" Fantastic! LOL

[Mistersafehouse]

what country hasn't got those problems and serial killers aren't on every corner. grow up. you're nort starving or dying of malnutrition like those poor buggers in Africa and what fab holiday have you lined up for yourself while others are dying out there? get a reality check. pathetic.

[Mistersafehouse]

So tragic when some embittered people can't even watch something so innocent without using it to promote their negative views. I suppose by 'rat infested dive' you mean a multi racial and more equal and less ignorant society? Not perfect I agree, but much better for many people, including women, than in the 50's. Grow Up.

[Munchypoos]

Theiving smack heads, granny rapists, paedophiles, mugging as common as muck etc etc yeah, great country. . . . . . . NOT

[Snedger]

It was the Woodentops treatment of their oddjob man Sam that turned me into an active trade unionist in later years. Look, the bastards couldn't even give him a chair.

[gianmarievolonte]

I should think that in 2010 Baby Woodentop is a single mum milking the social services..............Bring back the 1950s

[djx64]

Broadcast when England was something to be proud of.. unlike the rat infested dive its become.

[uraldneprvw]

@djx64 Absolutely correct. Even taking nostalgia into account, you are right. I had enough last year and moved to NZ. I was brought up on programmes like this and not a knife wielding black, burka wearing et al in sight. Happy days never to be repeated. I had the best of it and now enjoy a country 10% bigger than with less than 7% of the population of the UK. Not a Dalek in sight! I love it.

[Duvmasta]

@uraldneprvw Why did you move to NZ?

[uraldneprvw]

@Duvmasta A combination of circumstances. Overcrowded roads, expensive fuel,taxation,multi-culturism+­all that encroaches on, rude people,parking charges, officious pompous people in power, lack of policing, the threat of violence when in town centres after dark, corrupt politicians, being looked upon as a milk cow, bad weather, crowds, atrocious road surfaces, poor education, university fees, chavs, economic migrants pretending to be asylum seekers having a better standard of living than me etc

[Duvmasta]

@uraldneprvw ...In Other Words?

[uraldneprvw]

@uraldneprvw Because I am fed up with the UK, I have seen it decline at an exponential rate. I want a better standard of living and a better quality of life. I don't have kids but when we do, I want them to enjoy a childhood like I had. I believe the UK is a powder keg waiting to go off. I don't want to be a casualty when it does.

[bondsee]

@uraldneprvw i too moved out of the uk back in the 80's it was a filthy hole then and now!!!!!

[Duvmasta]

@uraldneprvw Well why did you move to a former English country instead of a different country?

[uraldneprvw]

@Duvmasta I have worked in France. America. South America + of course the UK. I have spent time in 20 or so countries but find NZ easier to live in than other places I have been to. English is spoken language, driving is on the left and in some respects a little like the England I remember as a kid. As an immigrant here, I try hard to blend in + contribute I don't want to sponge off the state or inflict my religion or political views on NZ'ers. I abide by their rules.

[bondsee]

@djx64 could'nt agree more, good comment !!!

[maccagrabme]

@djx64 You sound bitter, we are all far richer now so surely its not all bad? ;)

[djx64]

@maccagrabme The only people who have prospered are the ones claiming asylum and thousands of pounds worth of benefits every week.

[maccagrabme]

@djx64 You have the ability to join the global revolution, you have untold knowledge at your fingertips, access to all your favourite shows and music whenever or wherever you want them. You can have instant communication with anyone in the world at low cost, the poor have access to more help than ever and even have Xboxes and you sound like a broken man. Of course the rich are even richer too but most of us don't actually need that much in life. Surely its not all about money?

[dannymcneill]

@djx64 "the ones claiming ... thousands of pounds worth of benefits every week"

Oh dear, oh dear. Don't take as true everything you read in the Mail or Express. Think, and find out, for yourself.

[dannymcneill]

@djx64 

[dandaman62]

@djx64 a slight exagerration.

[brother252525]

[tombraideress]

Love the baby Woodentop! Who's voice is that? It sounds familiar to me.

[DrZeppo]

@tombraideress, I don't know who the voice is but it reminds me of Annette Crosbie (Mrs Victor Meldrew from 1 Foot in the Grave).

[winxclubrocks894]

they look scary

[AnElephantsChild]

Every week, without fail, they would lose Baby Woodentop, not surprising seeing as Spotty Dog was always left to look after him/her, even as a child I could see that a dog was not a suitable baby-sitter !

Thank you for uploading this x x
