A working class family, they epitomised the spirit of a united family bounded by war and a down to earth family commitment to help to each other and others during this period, stay safe and warm and enjoy it.

I was not aware that Petula Clark was an actress before she became a singer.
Petula Clark! I can’t get over being able to time travel to so much food for the soul. Our Creator knows how to feed His people on cleanings. I’ve known dark experiences from infancy but Father gave movie meadows and clean air like this many times. And film noir made me, as a child, think my family was NORMAL. God wastes nothing.
A blissful escape from the "world of today" though I'm sure we all know people with good values we can trust. Goodness will prevail.
Awesome… Thank you for putting these on … I've Shed some tears watching the Huggets I can tell you.. oh the memories.. 👍
a time long gone
Post war era of relief and innocence…the Huggets were a lovely family group….down to earth…unpretentious…wholesome entertainment…

This was funny real good honest clean fun
I enjoy these old movies of times past. I never compare the past with the present.
What a disgusting film! Boring and old fashioned. England prefers Ed Sheeran and Stormzy and Drake and Harry Styles
The acting in this film is wonderful!
Its poignant watching this at this moment since our beloved Queen Elizabeth has just died at 96yrs old ( 8th Sept 2022) & had reigned for 70yrs
To think this film was celebrating our queens wedding to Prince Phillip & lasted till he was 99yrs at his death in April 2021!
I must say Diana Dors one of my old favourites shows what a brilliant actress she was & able to play such a horrible part as the spoiled tart here, when she was a lovely lady & had a great sense of humour
I think she should have been a much bigger star than she was.
She deserved the really big time
Lovely to see the regulars though, Kathleen Harrison, Jack
Warner, Pet Clarke, Jimmy Hanley, im just in my late 60s but loved these films as a child & still do, even more so today
I hope you keep giving us more of the Huggets
God Bless Diana Dors, a fabulous lady
With many thanks
🇬🇧👧
I didn't know what the subject matter of this film was, then find it featured our late queen's wedding! The film was very entertaining, Jack Warner delivers some very funny lines not lost through time…
Wealth of british Talent
A great film and depiction of the times. Jack Warner and KH are splendid, as always. I would not have said that they were 'a typical 'working class family' however. In 1947 most such families would have dreamed of living in a semi-detached house, with phone and car in the garage. Even if you had the money and necessary authorisations, acquiring a car and being able to run it was very near impossible for most middle class people, let alone working class. Still, it does make the film more interesting and not like one of those sordid 60s 'grim up north' productions.
Look at young David Tomlinson!
Was that a young Diana Dorrs??
Diana Dors is superbly sexy in this. I love also how Jack Warner, though overtly irked by her disruptive presence, is subtly stimulated by it also. Shame he didn't follow through on this threat to 'give her a helping hand in the proper place'! Wouldn't have been all that unusual for a movie of this time either.
When life was at it's best I wished these were my years
The golem years
This picture was made in my lifetime but it reflects a world that's since changed beyond recognition, one that's been pulled apart in so many areas.
Work or want, save or sink
Thank you for sharing this delightful old flick. It made me smile.
Great flick. Great cast!
This was filmed at Gainsborough studios
Wizard!
Can't believe its all about a "Royal Wedding " WTF
Great humour and great acting throughout 👏
I am watching this to see Dianna Dors in Character part.
Dianna plays the role of a young woman knowing how sex is powerful to getting by in a male world.
As the scrjpt unfolds Men straight away want to look or have more of her by a job or investment of dinner and ….?
This was the role model for many Woman to achieve something using their sexuality expected by Men.
They found Mens Weaknesses expecting their lust was to be met in and by their power over Woman to conform to their needs
What a delightful film! xxx
People look so stoutish.
After a shock I received today when my boss called and said something incredibly bad, it was wonderful to see this delightful film. It was a healer. It transported me into the Hugetts family's life. Thank you ever so much for uploading these kind films.
Thank you once again, funny thing I don't need it up loud to understand or hear it, the quality is super, magic stuff.
I wish we could get back to times when this was first shown, no migrant trouble or this woke rubbish, and no SNP lol
It nice too watch films with No swearing fighting just good old fashion East Enders
Diana Dorrs – "She's a strong as a horse!"
Heartfelt thanks for uploading this delightful film!
I love the way Mt Huggett stood up for Mrs Huggett and said she should have knocked off for the night, not ironing Diana’s clothes.m
when life was less complicated with some freedom.
is that an in joke reference to holiday camp at 1.28 when jimmy says he lost a tooth due to too much chocalate? he ate about 50 bars in that one when he first meets the huggets.
no wonder we won the war! jimmy hanley is in the raf navy and ex army in the hugget movies!
i read a lot of pre ww2 fiction.the one constant seen here was the chicken coop in the back yard! it was i suppose the get rich quick scheme like bit coins now of the prewar generations.everyone had them ! officers home from ww1 were encouraged to put their gratuities into poultry farms.jg reeder the fictional detective raised chickens in his back garden! though i doubt they realised the fantastic profits advertised i think when ww2 came and peacetime rationing folks were glad of them! just an interesting social phenomenon long vanished but completely normal then!
That was a young Dianna Dors…. She was too sexy for her own good.
