Yes it was

Fourth episode on Channel 5 on Sunday at 9:00. She visits Scarborough. Big Neil's pavement plaque was shown in the first episode.

What makes it so sad is when you watch the early seventies footage the city look so vibrant and oddly far bigger. Even though technically the place is bigger now than then. People everywhere.

The mid 90’s was the last time it was even close to how I remember the seventies. Not just Wakey I know but I can’t help but believe that those of us born in the fifties and sixties probably had it as good as it’s ever likely to be in terms of lifestyle.

I’m aware it wasn’t the same for everyone, nor am I a Luddite it’s just a nagging feeling that life’s going to get a lot harder for my kids and grandkids.

Sorry to be so melancholy

Nothing wrong with a bit of nostalgia

Nostalgia's not what it used to be Chissitt!!!!

Are you sure your not getting mixed up with neuralgia

It’s good and yes she does plug Wakefield
But it’s lacked any mention of Wakefields only professional sports club other than Neil Fox rugby league player
Some footage of the glory years of the 60s would have been nice to see.

Not really her thing is it so why would she?

Watched the first episode last week… nice to see the old place … but I’m not a fan of MacDonald. Wife watched another two episodes whist I watched the Sharks game on Friday night…

Don't think you need to be a fan to enjoy it, it's the subject, not the presenter. If I applied that logic to RL I'd never watch it on TV!



Yes, she grates at times but I do think she's genuine in her love for the place.

I have to say if I was Wakefield born and bred I would be really chuffed how often she does mention the town at every opportunity.
I`ve seen her on the Cruising programmes and on my Yorkshire and she never fails to mention Wakey in a very good light.
She is a bit like marmite but I have grown to like her over the years especially as she appears proud not only of Wakefield but her background and family loyalties.

My daughter works at the Dam Inn on Barnsley Road and she spent a lot of the time there during the filming of the Newmillerdam scenes. . She says that she is just the same off camera and a genuine nice lass..
