Yes, they look younger than I remember them, but then I was 40 years younger then as well

Exactly,imagine if they could see us.

I am surprised how old Paul Collins looks though, not sure how old he is meant to be

I’m sure I read that he’s supposed to be 55 in these early episodes.

Kaz, I was 13 when it started to even someone 25 looked old to me then

[miasmum]

I was 19 Jo but I’m 59 now and Paul Collins looks worse with that perspective

[Kaz]

Don’t you think that 50+ people looked older in those days? He looks well into his 60s or older, and Annabelle looks quite frumpy with her safe cardigans, slacks, and permed hair

[miasmum]

Yes and when someone says early 80's it sounds like yesterday, I have to add it up in my head to realise its 40 years ago

[Gal2]

Remember Blanche from Corrie? I was watching classic Corrie the other day and Deidre said to her “you’re 66 mother!” I swear I thought she was in her 80s!!

[Kaz]

OMG yes, Gal, I saw that!! Also saw on FB that The Golden Girls were aged between 55 and 63 when they started

I know, scary!

You all still sticking with it?

We are on episode 45 Alan Partridge has just moved in the bungalow. I cant remember him at all, but laughed at the name.
