Follyfoot - the classic 70s TV series

[xBrokenTearDropx]

I wasn't a child when this was around, my parents bought me a dvd of it for christmas and I love it! I much prefer this to all the rubbish on tv now!!

[cbasswm]

[smallglories]

Black Narcissus for the kids. Absolutely brilliant.

[blonde7000]

Who is the beautiful girl near the start that lands by the bin

[veganpitstafflover]

When I watched this at the time I thought Dora was a real drama queen, all I remember was her crying and moaning 'Oh Steve' every five minutes! But didn't we all fancy Steve too????!!! I can't wait to watch this old classic on DVD. Thanks for posting, happy memories of better days. If only we could turn the clock back to that era x

[EdWilde]

@veganpitstafflover Oops! Sos sorry........didn't mean to vote down!!!!!! Sorry!!!!

[everythingshiny]

I read these books as a kid and always wondered what the TV series was like. Not much like the books, then...

[rabsmiff]

Gillian was a BABE!!!!

[joshdavis071]

I love follyfoot farm - steve is so lovely and dora is a pain. I met steve in 1975 and he was so happy and gorgeous. sian

[hooplemott]

She was FIT in those days lol

[ega95jch]

@hooplemott Yes, wasn't she just.

[bootsamou]

Was kind of an Emmerdale for a younger audience. Great stuff. A reasonably well-written drama, even for those days.

Was this really 35 - 40yrs ago? That is terrible !!

But, let's be honest friends, we didn't really watch it for the farm stuff .... it was Steve Hodson's big dark eyes that we fell for. What a handsome fella !

And 6.20 is heartbreaking.

[EddyPop100]

Gillian Blake : gorgeous forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSeanLickalot]

Neil Morrissey hasnt changed one bit!

[MrTonyp1965]

god she was hot back in the days

[ellie30001]

is this the same follyfoot as the riding stables follifoot now is it the same place?

[04faddy06]

dora will always be mine

[mountfields]

enchanting program from the 70s ---- Gillian Blake (Dora) is now 61 !!!

[04faddy06]

@mountfields gillian may be 61 but in my minds eye she will always be sweet 18 (well I know she was older in follyfoot but hey ho I will love her character forevever)

[Thinkbeforeyoureply]

@mountfields Eeek!! Happens to us all, I guess. It was quite sweet, the tension between her and Steve because it was done in a polite way. No overt displays of sexuality that one sees in kids shows today. I mean, even the wholesome one's still come across more worldly than they should be for their age.

[ladyfantasy71]

used to love watching this as a kid, in germany ! Ron was sexy and dora had great hair ! That was the england i fell in love with, sadly it's only a shadow of it's former self now, tv is specially crap !!! Used to love catweazle too and another series called thursday's child. Anyone remember that one ?

[BlueSuedeTom]

Yep, DORA was really Fit!

[ITT56RLC]

[Kevo216666]

[MyLalinea]

[transitcoffin]

[kazluvsfolly]

love it^^)

[eddy7elly7]

@kazluvsfolly

So do many others.

I looked a bit like Steve at the time, frightening to think this is nearly 40 years old.

Checked out quite a few of the music you tube sites on this and all are good.

A grown man and (probably like others) still adore the adorable Dora. Where has the time gone?

[EdieSaidSo]

No, it's not 40 years - it's only yesterday...

[eddy7elly7]

@EdieSaidSo

Thanks for that, it's a great idea!

Your right, if we concentrate hard enough it works.

[teenytobs12]

Follyfoot this show was the best

[wasssoxx]

I'd swop my best conker for her any day

[iangordoncraig]

Gillian Blake, I am still hoplessly in love with you (Dora).

[ColloquialMurphy]

Dora was my girl...when I was about 6!

[gus960]

Stunning looking girl! Childhood crush!!

[LimitedPassions]

God, talk about my childhood revisted... :)

[psychodamned]

Wonder what Dora was like in the sack lol :P

[davidwatson]

absolutely incredible. Generous, sensitive, adventurous.. and a few things i can't mention here. (I intuited all this from the opening titles scene)

[04faddy06]

you are all living in the past!! Gillian is mine and always will be!!!!!

Matt

[BondiBeachGirl]

Loved this show as a kid..still great to look at today.

[2pikeman]

were has all the great television gone, nothing but shite reality shows or american crap

[ITT56RLC]

@2pikeman

totally agree, nothing but csi this and csi that .Too many channels available today ,so they have to fill them with relentless shite

[sitarnut]

@2pikeman Too true brother! I live in USA and consequently watch NO TV.... just YT and rent old movies... sadly, it's always about the money... when money rules, everything turns to shite, not just production values. As for turning back the clock, well, it's easy as long as one retains their memories. Might seem somewhat nebulous, but a good memory is worth 100,000 lame TV shows. Just my opinion here......

[9thprotocol]

Dora was being knocked-off by randy old Slugger

[roseabeth]

This was a smashing series,superbly written,brilliantly acted and a reminder of simpler times.They dont make tv like this anymore so thank goodness the entire series was released on dvd.Gillian Blake was wonderful as were the rest of the cast...truly a quality show.
