After all these years, my husband and I are enjoying re-watching the Forsyte Saga. The episodes are available on You Tube.
Yes it's black and white and some of the acting is a bit clonky but it's so much better than most of the programmes that are offered today.

I remember watching a rerun in the early days of pregnancy with my first baby. I had awful sickness and I recall lying on the sofa in the afternoons, feeling sorry for myself.

We watched the old War and Peace with Anthony Hopkins a while back. The shaky sets and hollow voices had us laughing! It was lovely to be able to watch long speeches without cameras hopping about all the time, so you could really look at the expressions on people’s faces.
