[Afamilyatwar-list] Family at War cast on Norwegian TV

[Scott Filderman]

Another aspect of interest is how “normal” Colin Douglas’ voice is—not the booming cavernous sound he uses for TV work. I remember being shocked when I heard the actor who played Major Winchester on MASH; his  real voice was totally different. Then I truly understood: “acting”! Colin Campbell comes over as quite well thought, if a tad bit of a “movie star”; and Leslie’s son was delightful, all wriggling bored-stiff 6 years of him! What a wonderful bit grown out of a wonderful series! And John Finch got his proper due!

That was so interesting! Thank you for posting.

To be trivial for a moment, isn’t it odd now to see people smoking on screen? And the accents are very different from what you’d hear now – far more upmarket, so to speak. You can hear how RP has changed over the years. (Even the queen speaks differently now from how she did years ago!)

Thank you for allowing me to this forum.

 

I live in Norway and have been a fan of the series since I watched it on Norwegian TV (NRK) in the early 70s (being 11-12 years at the time).

I had got the Acorn DVD set, but without subtitles it was a bit difficult to follow the dialogue. Luckily I recently discovered there is a Norwegian DVD set with subtitles from 2008-2010.

It’s probably sold out now, but I bought it second hand and have now started re-watching. I think there were similar DVD editions in Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

The set seems more complete than the Acorn; including some deleted scenes (like the Porters at the wedding, ep.3) and the “End of Part 1” “Part 2” idents with music etc. I don’t know if it’s totally uncut of course.

 

 

The series was of course hugely popular in Norway, and in November 1971 some of the cast were guests at a popular NRK Saturday night entertainment show.

It’s Edwin, David, Frida and Margaret with her little boy in a relaxed conversation with the host Erik Bye, and in the end Margaret sings the song “Crow on the Cradle”.

Note people were smoking on TV in those days!

 

I have included a link to the NRK archive (should be watchable abroad). It’s towards the end of the programme at 1:07. Press “Vis mer” in blue letters at the end below the picture, and then items 16 & 17 (about Familien Ashton) in the list.

Best regards, 

Knut
