I love Mary Berry the first time I saw her was in intensive care in Rochester New York on Christmas Eve of 2022 and I enjoyed her very much.would love to spend Christmas dinner at her home for sure
I was just a very young child then, but yeah, I do get nostalgic for the old days more and more. (It's not just a British thing either, you notice similar comments under old episodes of TV shows that were broadcast in West Germany in the 1970s and 1980s - people often say "ah, if only we could go back to those days".)
I'm weeping with laughter at this "...and that's just ordinary frozen scrambled egg, is it, Mary?" "Yes, just ordinary frozen scrambled egg, Judy..." Victora Wood must have watched this episode, for sure
The pie looks fantastic, although I am vegetarian, and that looks like a pork pie with hard boiled egg halves in it. If anyone ever reads the childhood classic Danny the Champion of the World by Road Dahl, Danny’s Father has to go to hospital with a broken ankle (as far as I can remember, haven’t read the book for years) and his Father’s friend Doc Spencer visits Danny who is alone in their caravan (Danny and his Father’s caravan) and brings him a pie exactly like that, and says to Danny:-“My wife asked me to give you this, - I think you’ll like it, she’s a terrific cook.” and Danny cuts himself a slice of pie after Doc Spencer has gone, and thinks to himself as he is eating it:- “God bless Doc Spencer, and God bless Mrs Spencer as well!!” 😊
Ewoah hellewh everywan! A jolly spiffing picnic eh, and a smashing barbecue! We won’t leave litter in the countryside, WILL WE Judith? Not at all Mary. - bloody brilliant. Love these old clips.
@@fishyc150 Oh wind your neck in. It was lighthearted and I said they were brilliant. Oh and there is no ‘correct way’ to pronounce and speak English. There are a variety of accents and dialects.
@@Knappa22 you are literally mocking by mimicking for comedic effect the accent and affectation of a different group or social class to yourself. Lighthearted or not. My point stands. And there is indeed a "correct" version of English. You can find the correct pronunciation in the oxford English dictionary after each word written in phonetics. Anything else is a variation. That is why TV presenters sounded that way.
@@fishyc150 Excuse me, how do you know whether or not I am in the same social class as them? And while the Oxford dictionary does offer a pronunciation guide there are definite variations within it. Unless you think the Queen sounds exactly like your average BBC Radio 4 announcer.
An innovation at the time as studio VT cameras were too large to be transported easily outside, and were a bit sensitive to sudden changes in lighting.
Its amazing that to get a leafleat of only a few recipes you had to write a letter and than to wait for a resoponse. Nowdays it would be just “you can find all of our recipes on our website/instagram
Wow they look good and are speaking proper understandable English. Today’s quality of Broadcasting doesn’t even come close to these excellent programs produced by Thames tv and other programme makers.
Just watch anything with James May in it. He (and also Clarkson and Hammond but mainly May) is still a very old school approach to british television. They are funny but not stupid and well spoken.
Jan Ellermeier Yes quite right! And also Quinten Wilson, my favourite is a series called ‘the cars the star’. My personal favourite episode is that of the Citroen DS.
Yes I thought that too. So sad. And whenever Mary speaks about him it is always with total dignity and calm sincerity. One of our national treasures she is.
Mary Berry always comes across as if she's expecting to be criticized by an overbearing husband for not serving his farmhouse pie at the right temperature.
Of curiosity: Judith Chalmers sounds posher then than now & Mary Berry's accent sounds more relaxed here (except for 'glass'/glaws) than it does now, strangely. (Though my RADA trained mother started saying 'rally' when working at Savills in the 80s & people's accents change)
The cameraman must’ve been a bit pie-eyed, the angle’s so wonky. I love the posh way Mary talks about “lairs” and “laird fillings”. I’m not sure I’d enjoy sandwiches made from week-old frozen bread.
What's a local 'awthawaty'. Did I have one as a kid? Seriously though she noticeably toned down the accent for Wish You Were Here. Still a Telly great though.
Perhaps that's why she is rich, because she looked after the pennies in the early days so that the pounds would look after themselves later in life. The programme was also designed to help families of the day eat well on a budget as if you are old enough to remember, the 1970s wasn't exactly a decade that was booming economically.

Take me back to them times please😢

Mary is soo sensible, great advice and actually ahead of her time in some ways. Glad Britain has moved past these stodgy foods.
Just love how you say, just so.
Those glasses she puts the cold soup in are the Ravenhead Fiesta glasses! My aunt had those!
It's very fun to see Mary Berry show us cooking easy like "pic-nic time", specially on outside place!! Thanks THAMES TV for Share us this Moments!!!
Always a treat to see one of these has been uploaded.
We had those glasses shes putting the cold soup into at my aunts house they were really in every household in that year! They were very well known.
I'm weeping with laughter at this "...and that's just ordinary frozen scrambled egg, is it, Mary?" "Yes, just ordinary frozen scrambled egg, Judy..." Victora Wood must have watched this episode, for sure
Queen Victoria?
That pie looks gorgeous!
That pie at 4:33 looks amazing... shame that leaflet has been lost to time! Would be cool to have her recipe for it...
I have the book from Good Afternoon that I bought off ebay the pie recipe may be in it
@@fraserkatie I got the book now too. I wonder if it is in there? I should check.
That Home Made Gala Pie looks delicious!

I see that people speaking English correctly is now something to be mocked...

Judith Chalmers. Victoria Wood could imitate her really well. 😂 I can just imagine her and Julie Walters doing a skit of this.
;)
Would love to go on a picnic with Mary Berry.
"Outside broadcast cameras" - imagine that
An innovation at the time as studio VT cameras were too large to be transported easily outside, and were a bit sensitive to sudden changes in lighting.
The food- especially the pie looks like something Lady Marjorie would have served at one of her dinner parties ca. 1910.
Judiths one leg up position SCREAMING

A joyous slice of golden times. But I love the Acorn Antiques-style pregnant pause at 5:14 (this was obviously a pick-up for the edit)
Check out Victoria Wood Marjorie and Joan. Surely inspired by these two!
Thats always what I thought!
That picnic looks delicious
Lucky old crew eh? Having promised the food for a very very long time!
Classic 70's!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jan Ellermeier
Yes quite right! And also Quinten Wilson, my favourite is a series called ‘the cars the star’. My personal favourite episode is that of the Citroen DS.
It was the fashion to sound 'posh' in those days.
Love it.
1:40 Even Mary Berry's rolls were layered!
Hi Mary, may God bless you, Love from Singapore.
spectacular
Oh God the sandwich is labelled ‘Thomas and William - no mustard’. William later died aged 19 in 1989 :(
Was that Marys son?
Yes they must all be off-camera waiting to eat.
Yes I thought that too. So sad. And whenever Mary speaks about him it is always with total dignity and calm sincerity. One of our national treasures she is.
I'm so sorry to read this. I was just thinking what age he would be and then read your message 😭. So sad.
Judith outdoors is a boss.
Smashing. Quite :)
All as natural, genuine and convincing as Rylan's and Rio's beard colour.
A lovely picnic in South central los Angeles
"Laaaayered fillings in" 😄
Yum....thawed out one month old egg sandwiches.
The 1970s interest me
Me too
Sooooooooooo interesting
By far most impressive thing here is the Jeep CJ!! Ps-she loves freezing shit doesn't she....
@TheRenaissanceman65 I'm not sure frozen sandwiches would be very tasty either!
@TheRenaissanceman65 she loved freezers soo much I bet she secretly did freeze her own shit, just outta interest
‘Shit’ in this context means ‘stuff’ / ‘things’ as per contemporary parlance. But then I suspect you knew that perfectly well.
@TheRenaissanceman65 pretty SHIT joke though wasn't it! 🤣
@TheRenaissanceman65 don't give a shit either way really🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Mary shows us the "Vegan option" at 4:30....
Haha!
So ahead of her time.....

"But Mary, what about if you're not middle class . . ."

Cool Jeep, glad they didn't sully the video with a crappy Land Rover . 😉
Ah, Thames TV. *sigh* You're nostalgia spelt very badly.
#SponsoredByJeep no doubt lol
The jeep doesn't blend. A Land Rover Series would have been perfect.
Cheers
Judith and Mary , so English.
Layered pronounced “lay-ard’
I thought She said "Lard"...
Flaaaar.
"Giving a rather continental look to everything"...heaven forbid.🙄
Why not just make the sandwiches fresh on the day
They really don't like each other. These clips are almost comical
Wearing a skirt at the picnic/
Can you believe they actually broadcast this dribble, special occasion pick nick lol
Tupperware 👍👍👍
Seriously! She’s so rich and she worried about the price of coffee
Perhaps that's why she is rich, because she looked after the pennies in the early days so that the pounds would look after themselves later in life. The programme was also designed to help families of the day eat well on a budget as if you are old enough to remember, the 1970s wasn't exactly a decade that was booming economically.
