These are the early days of the soap, when it was called 'Emmerdale Farm'. This is long before Andy and Robert Sugden, Edna Birch, Betty Eagleton, or Alan Turner. The 4 DVD's include the first ever episode. The farm is in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, it is home to the Sugden family, who are attending the funeral of Annie's husband Jacob Sugden, ''Take it slow, i don't want Jacob bumped about on his last ride''. The charecters soon became house hold names, Annie Sugden (Sheila Mercier), her elderly father Sam Pearson (Toke Townley), Annie's son's Joe and Jack (Frazer Hines and Andrew Burt), son in law Matt Skilbeck (Frederick Pyne) and 'Woolpack' pub owners Amos Brearly (Ronald Magill) and Mr.Wilks (Arthur Pentelow). I no longer watch the series since they changed it to 'Emmerdale' and the word 'Farm' was dropped. I would rather watch it how it use to be, when it was the original series, with all the animals, the beautiful countryside, Annie Sugden looking after all her family and the original theme music by Tony Hatch. Network DVD have not only released 'Emmerdale Farm'-Volume One containing the first 26 episodes, but also 'Emmmerdale Farm'-Volume Two, containing a further 26 episodes, 'Coronation Street' is available, with a mixture of 8 episodes from the 1970's, in the days when the street itself was the Rovers pub, the corner shop, six houses and a park bench in the gap where No.7 once stood, (all built in an old railway yard) and 'Crossroads' is also available, containing a mixture of 12 episodes, mainly from the 1970's. Unlike most soaps today 'Emmerdale Farm', 'Coronation Street' and 'Crossroads' never tried to copy each other, each soap was unique, but they had one thing in common, they had lovely kindly storylines the whole family could watch.
