The onlty thing i can remember is that it was in the country and they built log cabins the villagers wouldn't except them at first, but they did eventuallly, but sadly the father was lumberjack and trying to find work was hard for them, the eldest lad had to follow in his footsteps but the mother disagreed with the idea but she had let him do the same job, it was snowy in the mountains, they were a scottish family, not sure if the title had something like a home for xmas in it or life in the country, i think!! but i might be of the track on that one, most of the children survived the epidemic, sadly some passed away, but who was in it no idea, i remember the film as if it was yeterday, but title i dont remember???? but think cap still on

Hi Unicorn Hi Wendy

Like who was in it or when the film was made

You can get Catweazle, the Tomorrow people and other programmes from around that time on Dvd. I watched them a while back, they didn't seem the same somehow. If anybody wants to know where to get them let me know.
I also remember Timeslip, The Herbs, Tales of the Riverbank, Pinky and Perky, Lamb Chop and many others.

My Favourite was Twizzle

We had a rented tellie too. I remember my Nana saying she had to go to radio rentals to pay for it.

Anyone watch The Tommorrow people? I didn't but I remember it being on. loved Space 1999.

Rented tellies?

"Its great service you get
renting your colour set
from Granada
Its better TV
I'm sure you'll agree
rent Granada"

Thing is if you are advertising colour TV's why? If you have a colour set already you dont want one and if you have black and white you cant see the colours in the ad

Quatermass
Wasn't allowed to watch it still don't know why

Catweezil
The old chap that came from an earlier era. Called the telephone the ....Tellingbone.Remember?

Didnt have TV when I was a child. Shows my age! But OH and I loved Catweazle when our children were young. I wish TV would put it on again here in NZ.
Stan, I remember The Lone Ranger (Hi ho Silver, away), Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers from going to the movie theatre on a Saturday. They were serials.There was also Anchors Aweigh and Captain Marvel (I thought it was Cpt. Marble because he seemed to live in a marble building) and some serial which had a tin robot that an evil man kept in a cupboard. I was nervous about mums linen cupboard for years afterwards, in case there was a robot in there. Perhaps my older sister had suggested it to tease me.
Huia.

I do rememebr the children was given away to differnt people in the village and husband died and the eldest lad became the man of the house, and he had to work for the family to keep them going, the one lad said he wanted to stay with his brother and he had to be cruel to be kind and say no,the lad went to an elder lady's house and he said he would come back for them, Im still trying to rememeber the title and im still thinking

I can remember that film, they all went through an epidemic, the father had to live away with the rest of the children while the mother stayed in the house with the baby, they were from scotland and settled there in the end didnt the villagers built a house for them, but the only thing is i can't remember the name of the film it was on xmas of last year.
