Exactly,imagine if they could see us.

I am surprised how old Paul Collins looks though, not sure how old he is meant to be

I’m sure I read that he’s supposed to be 55 in these early episodes.

Kaz, I was 13 when it started to even someone 25 looked old to me then :lol:

Don’t you think that 50+ people looked older in those days? He looks well into his 60s or older, and Annabelle looks quite frumpy with her safe cardigans, slacks, and permed hair :?

Yes and when someone says early 80's it sounds like yesterday, I have to add it up in my head to realise its 40 years ago

Remember Blanche from Corrie? I was watching classic Corrie the other day and Deidre said to her “you’re 66 mother!” I swear I thought she was in her 80s!!
