| Quote: vastman "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

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? |

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..

I met her once, she was great. Really genuine and down to earth.
While not a Trinity supporter as such she says she likes us to do well.

It’s a pleasant easy watching series that shows both Yorkshire & Wakey in good light. Nothing to dislike.
As for Jane…we met her on a cruise once and she was just like she is on TV. As said before, she is just a “nice lass”.
Wakey should be proud of her!

If she had a local, that would be it. |

She’s probably the most famous celebrity Currently from Wakefield. Watched an episode of her doing a cruise up in Scotland the other year where she sang in a cave, her voice is unreal. I’m sure she’s off Peacock as she went to school with my mates dad.

| Her family home was on Silcoates Street...the terraced houses on the left before you get to Lincoln Street, I believe, so almost on Peacock, hence her association with Balne Lane club.  |
