Well said Carl. why cant certain individuals have a good word to say, so bloody miserable. We all get older, that’s life. She seems like a perfectly decent person, inner beauty is a far greater characteristic in a person.
I'm in my sixties, I remember this being a really Great film. It doesn't matter what age Sally was, she was an actress 'Playing' a part. Doesn't that prove what an extremely good actress she was/is!
@@smooth_sundaes5172 She hasn't gone down the same road as most celebrities, with face lifts and botox, I do think she would look a bit better if she had a shorter hair style though.
Good for you Sally it doesn't matter I loved the railway children as a child in the 70s and still do I've been lucky enough to meet Jenny she was such a lovely down to earth person too ♥️
What a fantastic film the original was! I was just a little boy when this film came out and it brings back fond memories'. Thankyou Sally. Thankyou to all involved in the film. An absolute classic.
I am 73. Loved this story as l can relate to it so much in my childhood experiences. My children growing up also loved it. I hope my grandchildren will feel the same. When the father got off the train and his daughter shouted " Daddy,Daddy!". Heart wrenching. It was deja Vue for me. I had exactly the same experience after being away from home and meeting my father on Heuston Station in Dublin in the fifties. I said the same, adding , " l hardly knew you in your new shoes " I was four years old. That moment in the film was my experience.
I always always cry when she shouts to her father, Even when I watched it as an adult with my own children, who are now adults, I dont mean to be pedantic, but I think she shouts, Daddy My Daddy, it was the 'my' that really got me blubbering!! A beautiful film, they just dont make them like that anymore. Children were so much more innocent for so much longer in those days. that was such a lovely poignant memory you shared, so lovely how it related to your experience.
The railway children was one of my favourite films as a child and I would still happily watch it now in my 50s and can’t wait for my grandsons to be old enough to watch it with me. Love sally she is adorable.
What a brilliant film The Railway Children is. Nice gentle family stuff with actors at their best. I’m only seventy but I can honestly say it is probably one of my all time favourite films. No computers, no televisions, no snowflakes, kids dressed like kids, no cursing, kids respecting their elders. The list goes on.
@@zanyzoo6767 Sorry for interjecting here, but; you prefer drug addicts, sex grooming gangs, illegal immigration, rising taxes on fuel+food, the non-binary madness and don't forget our march towards a one-world-government to back then? It wasn't boring at all, in fact it was refreshing if anything. Yes, many worked for peanuts and struggled (please tell me what has changed today) but overall, life was simpler, therefore happier. Today is a metropolis of insanity, brought on by being bombarded with too much information, most of which is irrelevant to the average person. Technology will enslave us all in the end, so yes, I would prefer those days to this any day. We used to play in the woods without fear of being stolen and used in rape gangs; radio shows played in the afternoon, Dick Barton, The Archers and so on. I know you'd laugh at all that now, but people used to use their common sense and there was none of this non binary psychosis we have today. If anything, unless you yourself actually lived in those days - I am guessing you didn't? You will not have the slightest idea as to what it was like.
The Railway Children was such a heartwarming film about a time that sadly will probably never exist again. Nice to see that Sally is fine. Great memories.
"...a time that will probably never exist again.." You mean a time when there was no health care and folks starved if they lost their job? Don't worry we are on our way back to those times courtesy of The Conservative Party. It'll be great 🙄
@@markfox1545 As opposed to Truss who is ready to promise any economic nonsense that will get her into number 10? The UK can't survive any more of this Conservative government.
I enjoyed that film, great story, great cast. I remember Sally from Man About the House, the bubbly blonde. Sally still has that cheeky smile and you recognise her immediately. We all get older and age, people always refer to ladies getting older but never men.
Well Sally is a girl and has not aged well, so I can understand people commenting on it. Men on the whole, seem to age better, but we're not immune to it. Take a look at someone like Randy Meisner from the Eagles. He's a man who aged quite poorly too. It's just a fact of life. The only people who evade it, are the ones who have died. I choose to go through it.
That's true; getting older on the outside is obvious but men, in spite of many appearing to be younger on the outside, nevertheless are their true age inside where it counts healthwise (something that can't be escaped).
@@castleanthrax1833 Sad about Randy Meisner, everyone ages both men and women, but Randy is not in the best of health which makes him appear older - I wish him well, he was definitely one of the talents of the Eagles who are one of my favourite bands.🦅
Ms. Thomsett, how lovely to see you on my computer. i am much older than you, bu I see you forever in "The Railway Children". But now, how nice to see you in real life. You are lovely!
This woman has lived life full on she's brilliantly honest, she's growing older naturally which makes her more lovely, would love to see The Railway Children again sometime..
@@mapala78 Human instinct we're pulled back to enjoyable happy times through music films moments, was watching The Ghost And Mrs Muir other night beautiful film..
A beautiful actress, Sally played such an amazing role in this film, I love this film watched it many time, such Beauty, kindness, compassion and reality, something that is missing todays society. The Railway children is ultimately one of the best made films ever, the story and the actor and actresses were brilliant real good kind characters. Some of these actor sadly missed, I am 52 years old and this film has always cast in my mind some of warm happy feeling, and to top it all I work on the railways and deal with situations like the land slide in the film. I had a crush on Jenny Agutter she is beautiful, 🤩. A much loved and beautiful film, with some of the best actors and actresses ever. A celebration of all that were cast in the film and the director. Lovely heart warming, beautifully cast film.
its a shame that things and memories change. i remember so well seeing her on 'junior points of view' when the was about 12, and i still think of how she gave me such a boost and a feelgood memory.
Good film. And it was only 3 years later that Sally was part of the cast for TV comedy Man About The House, which shows she couldn't have been 14 by then. Anyway, she did good. Thankyou Sally for your acting abilities x
Don't think I will be watching the new version with an imagined character who likely never existed in the english countryside around 1900 but Sally's version is the one of my youth and the one I love and watched many times!
I saw this being advertised on TV yesterday, why do they keep making remakes of classic films and TV series can't they do their own thing. Let me guess the new film is multicultural lol
@@chucky2316 The TV and film industry is dominated by woke, middle class, uni/drama school types. They have no imagine and only get into the jobs because they have connections to the right people or have family in the industry. That's why there is nothing interesting on TV anymore and also why they remake films.
In 1978 when I started work in London, one day there was a heavy storm and I was running from Oxford Circus towards the BBC building near where I worked. I crashed into two women. I stopped and looked up and the women were Sally and the woman who played her mother in The Railway Children. I apologised and Sally gave me a lovely smile and said 'don't worry, it's OK' :)
Sally I would love to love you..you have not lost your charisma or charm and I would love to love you ..all those years ago you were the most beautiful lady I had ever seen..nothing has changed
On the back of the new release, I just rewatched the original film and even though I now know of the stars' actual ages, it's still a lovely film, so simple and delightful - great casting and great performances - everything a good old-fashioned Enid Blyton adventure story should be! A Big Thank You to Everybody Involved!!
OFF TOPIC. I watched the remake out of curiosity. Not convinced they needed to remake the classic ... just like Swallows and Amazons. Too much correctness in these remakes. Good lord, Titty became Tatty, spoilt the whole film. Arthur would be turning in his grave.
How could anybody possibly say anything unkind about Sally? She is lovely, and always was! Jenny Agutter as 'Bobbie', to the bemused Doctor, had the best Railway Children line...:. "Mother's got a very shabby Russian". It still cracks me up. The finest Children's Film ever made surely. Thank you to Lionel Jefferies and everyone who gave us such a wonderful, memorable, film. Arthur Ibbetson's cinematography is sublime. It was always a pleasure to screen in 35mm.
Great film, sadly this also reminds us how time passes quickly, stay healthy, live your life to its fullest, do everything you want to do and enjoy. Turn off the news! It's all manipulated.
I never thought she looked 11 in the film, but a teenager. People have to remember, she was a fully grown woman in Man About The House shortly afterwards. So people must have known she was nowhere near 11 as soon as that comedy show started.
sally thomsett is a great actress & television personality. I am a huge fan of the 70's sitcom man about the house like i am with many of the fantasic british comedies from the era. It is very easy to see whilst watching many of these sitcoms from the time that most of the cast & crew got on like a house on fire. It is for this reason why they worked so very well. Im not of the same generation as when these were first aired. I was a mid 80's child who very much had a good eye for detail. it is easy to see that there was something very interesting about the 1960's & 70's especially on that with fashion & music. I suppose its because people had to make more of what they had and took much less for granted. It was only 20-30 years after the war. Peoples way of thinking was different. The 1970's i feel was the most exciting era of the century with transport becoming slightly better technology was more on the up although still basic. I definately feel that people communicated much better during the 60's & 70's they certainly had a very good time with parties and family gatherings. Getting to the point. Some people who are making rude comments on sally's apperance. What you have to remember is that sally just like many of her contemporaries at the time lived the high life of the 1970's. Sally was young, she was beautiful, sally loved sports cars, craved excitement, she had it all. I have absolutely no doubt that sally liked a good drink and most likely a smoke along with it. Absouletly everyone drank and smoked during the 70's. If you were of a certain age at the time with money you certainly went along with it all when working alongside the many stars of the day up in high places. Im ultimately sure that sally will tell you that seeing what she has experienced has very little to no regrets. Im pretty sure there are many here who have met her, can tell me what a lovely lady sally is. Her personality always shines!!!!
Sally was 20 when she played the part of 11 year old Phyllis Waterbury in 'The Railway Children' in 1970. She was 3 years older than Jenny Agutter despite Jenny Agutter playing her 17 year old sister Roberta (Bobby) Waterbury.
Sally was also a heavy smoker and she was chain smoking off camera on the set of The Railway Children which was always quite a shock to people in the crew who didn't know how old she really was.
@@redblade8160 what was wrong with the rest of it? Sally is older than Jenny either by two or three years dependant on their birthdates and the date the film was made rather than released.
Sally Thomsett played Phyillis on The Railway Children 👧 👧 🧒 in 1970. She was with Jenny Agutter who played Roberta and Gary Warren who played Peter on The Railway 🚃 Children 👧 👦 🧒 in 1970 is over 50 previous years ago. Now it’s 2023.

Good 👍 luck 🍀 Sally Thomsett and enjoy 😊 the rest of your life everyday without worrying about things and please 🙏 be happy 😊. Bring it on Sally Thomsett. 👍👍👍👍👍
After being almost 72, this last Sunday I saw the railway children for the first time, ashamed to admit to it, but it was a sickly sweet film and I loved it, such a lovely film to watch on my own on a hot sweltering evening. How sad to see how sally’s aged, she was a cute young lady back in the day
Age is a cruel mistress..it strips us of happiness..Sally thomasett is a lovely looking lady whose face is a reminder of the ravages of time ..not something to be ashamed about...age is a frightening thing and beautiful as well..it enriches our Life
Why should age strip us of happiness you are a blessed person if you live a long life my nanna was 95 when she passed away she loved her life and was a beautiful lady
@@TASIAawful1 Hi there 🖐️thanks for your comment on the railway children referring to actress Sally thomasett..I agree with your encouraging words on the meaning of age..I do however spend a lot of time titivating myself everyday trying to look pretty..its a must that I look my best when going out into the world...or else the public looks at me like I have the plague..it seems this world has this idea that looking pretty you are liked but if a person is ugly they get rejected...its not fair how good looks and youthful appearance plays such a great part in this world.. i want to age gracefully..
I enjoyed the film when I was a girl and have had the pleasure of watching it with my children and my grandies. Last week I went with my 8 year old granddaughter to watch the new film.

I am a huge fan of the 70's sitcom man about the house
like i am with many of the fantasic british comedies from the era.
It is very easy to see whilst watching many of these sitcoms from the time
that most of the cast & crew got on like a house on fire.
It is for this reason why they worked so very well.
Im not of the same generation as when these were first aired.
I was a mid 80's child who very much had a good eye for detail.
it is easy to see that there was something very interesting about the 1960's & 70's
especially on that with fashion & music.
I suppose its because people had to make more of what they had and took much less for granted.
It was only 20-30 years after the war.
Peoples way of thinking was different.
The 1970's i feel was the most exciting era of the century with transport becoming slightly better
technology was more on the up although still basic.
I definately feel that people communicated much better during the 60's & 70's
they certainly had a very good time with parties and family gatherings.
Getting to the point.
Some people who are making rude comments on sally's apperance.
What you have to remember is that sally just like many of her contemporaries at the time
lived the high life of the 1970's.
Sally was young, she was beautiful, sally loved sports cars, craved excitement, she had it all.
I have absolutely no doubt that sally liked a good drink and most likely a smoke along with it.
Absouletly everyone drank and smoked during the 70's. If you were of a certain age at the time
with money
you certainly went along with it all when working alongside the many stars of the day up in high places.
Im ultimately sure that sally will tell you that seeing what she has experienced
has very little to no regrets.
Im pretty sure there are many here who have met her, can tell me what a lovely lady sally is.
Her personality always shines!!!!
We all age, I think she looks really great. All the best Sally.
Beautiful lady
Brilliant actress especially in man about the house as well as the railway children.
Wow that’s amazing, I’d never have thought she was 20 in that film!! 😃
Love her ❤️
Forever Phyllis......thanks for the memories...
Great memories of the Railway Children, wonderful film, when we had a lovely country, not like now
A great movie for all us kids back then , she was brilliant and still is.
Sally was 20 when she played the part of 11 year old Phyllis Waterbury in 'The Railway Children' in 1970. She was 3 years older than Jenny Agutter despite Jenny Agutter playing her 17 year old sister Roberta (Bobby) Waterbury.
stnicholas54 I'm absolutely STUNNED to find that your first sentence is totally true.
Sally was also a heavy smoker and she was chain smoking off camera on the set of The Railway Children which was always quite a shock to people in the crew who didn't know how old she really was.
@@davidsanderson5918
Only his first sentence is true...
@@redblade8160 what was wrong with the rest of it? Sally is older than Jenny either by two or three years dependant on their birthdates and the date the film was made rather than released.
Wow" im sorry for the boyfriends she had at the time because they would look like Peado's next to her😳
Beautiful Sally! ✌🏼❤️
💕 super actress!
Sally Thomsett played Phyillis on The Railway Children 👧 👧 🧒 in 1970. She was with Jenny Agutter who played Roberta and Gary Warren who played Peter on The Railway 🚃 Children 👧 👦 🧒 in 1970 is over 50 previous years ago. Now it’s 2023. Unbelievable thing to happen that time 🕰️ flew quickly. My age in 2023 is 47 years old. Bloody hell. Life is short. Good 👍 luck 🍀 Sally Thomsett and enjoy 😊 the rest of your life everyday without worrying about things and please 🙏 be happy 😊. Bring it on Sally Thomsett. 👍👍👍👍👍
Loved the film and well done Sally.
She s so lovely 😊
She's a lovely lady
Loved the film and Sally🥰
After being almost 72, this last Sunday I saw the railway children for the first time, ashamed to admit to it, but it was a sickly sweet film and I loved it, such a lovely film to watch on my own on a hot sweltering evening. How sad to see how sally’s aged, she was a cute young lady back in the day
After 52 years, one is supposed to age. Ageing is a privilege. So many people don't get to do it.
Everyone ages
@@tandm86 a very good point. Especially with illness and disease. Survive that, age is just a number and to be embraced and appreciated.
@@liverbird4553 , did I slag her you twat, no, I bleeding didn’t, read what I wrote, or are you as thick as you seem.
Age comes to us all, if we are lucky.
Age is a cruel mistress..it strips us of happiness..Sally thomasett is a lovely looking lady whose face is a reminder of the ravages of time ..not something to be ashamed about...age is a frightening thing and beautiful as well..it enriches our Life
Why should age strip us of happiness you are a blessed person if you live a long life my nanna was 95 when she passed away she loved her life and was a beautiful lady
@@TASIAawful1 Hi there 🖐️thanks for your comment on the railway children referring to actress Sally thomasett..I agree with your encouraging words on the meaning of age..I do however spend a lot of time titivating myself everyday trying to look pretty..its a must that I look my best when going out into the world...or else the public looks at me like I have the plague..it seems this world has this idea that looking pretty you are liked but if a person is ugly they get rejected...its not fair how good looks and youthful appearance plays such a great part in this world.. i want to age gracefully..
It's called growing old , it happens .
certainly shows how skilled she is as an actress to pull it off, well done Sally !
I had a huge crush on Sally in the early 1970s when I was about seven or eight years old! Lovely lady nowadays, too.
I had a poster of Sally on my wall when I was a kid
I enjoyed the film when I was a girl and have had the pleasure of watching it with my children and my grandies. Last week I went with my 8 year old granddaughter to watch the new film.
Beautiful lady she was
Loved the Railway children. Sally is a lovely beautiful woman still.
