What a blast from the past. I remember this quite well, I was only 7 or 8. It's great to see the styles again and the cars, furniture, even the attitudes.
@georgewhedge Sound is fine my end...check that your player isnt on mute (next to the play button) or that the volume slider isnt down. Otherwise you may have to update your Java settings or media player settings.
I deleted most of them, someone blamed the current state of the world or this country on stig from this series. Comments regarding the video are welcome and encouraged but racial trolling stuff just gets deleted.
@100imachristian Yeah, I'm with you on this. The 'pakies' must have had an awful effect on your education. You're one of those people that talks about our 'gloriuos' nation; then does nothing but slag it off, aren't you? sorry, perhaps I'm being a bit cryptic for you. Fuck off, twat.
Joke or not , i didnt appreciate it littering up comments. constructive comments regarding the bbc or dvd release or whatever but spiteful troll flaming stuff is tedious.
@ kamelion -whatever views you hold a childrens bbc drama did not cause the influx of immigrants to this country so kindly troll off and write on the BNP fan wall or go and poke a radical muslim. from now on you see, your comments will be deleted. cheers.
@ace170874@100imachristian Surely that remark about Stig being the root cause of mass immigration was a joke?! No-one's genuinely that stupid...mind you, looking at the quality of their writing, I may have to retract that remark.
@minimanukuk I just didnt think it warranted page after page of swear words to get points across, using a retro clip to spew racist/fascist/victorian remarks is childish and trolling, whenever comments get added here they go all over the place and rarely make sense. Plus everything on his/her channel isnt uploaded by themselves as most are "favourites" from other peoples channels...i could see him getting other people on his channel to comment on here. it does happen and i cant be arsed. cheers.
He certainly done well for himself.........living in a Dump then driving cars on Top Gear!....Amamzing ...........bet he's got an I-Phone now as well!
@100imachristian now that iv found this, does anyone remember 'the young vampire' or it may have been 'the little vampire' id say around 86? anyone please?
@100imachristian -Its a shame you didnt learn grammar or to write properly. I also love this country but at the same time I hate the scumbag racist homophobic, gutless,workshy and braindead people (like you). Without the influx of a lot of indian people in the 70s this country would have been on its knees years ago. I hope you remember your views the next time you/loved one is in hospital having a life saving operation done by an indian/chinese/polish/african.Go do something with your life ffs.
@ace170874 Excuse me but objecting to an influx of persons from other countries that are provided with FREE accomodation, money and various other benefits is hardly a ba character trait. These immigrants live off of the 'workshy' persons you describe - I hold these views and happen to have been employed since leaving school. You seem very judgmental and utterly victorian in your outlook.
As for the hospitals, next time I contract MRSA I will thank God for the immigrants.
No problem, its probably the adaptation that most 30 somethings remember, various gems from other companies were also shown on local channels.
kids dramas used to be amazing - although at times my rose tinted glasses lie to me -. Why someone doesnt commission a channel devoted to repeating these I cant understand, yet are only too keen to fund teen reality shite.
So remember guys, any stuff you sky+ take an hour to put on disc and keep safe. it may never be shown again.
This adaptation was almost word-for-word, scene-for-scene, straight from the book. And much better than the modernised, effects laden, BBC version that came in 2002. I hope Fremantle release this Thames Television adaptation in its entirety on DVD.
