Hi Karen

The easiest way is just to click the big white arrow in the middle of the picture, that will start the programme. You can fast forward by dragging the cursor at the time bar at the bottom of the screen.
The interview starts rather late in the programmeat about 01:07:00 and goes on til the end of the programme.

Best regards,
Knut

Hi Knut

Can you tell me how to find this interview more precisely please?

Not sure if I have to watch the interview and AFAW interview appears at the end?

I can see vis mer at the bottom but when I click it another foreign programme loads!
not sure how to access it?

Please advise?
Karen

That’s where the chancre galores (so said Captain Hook!)

The Acorn set has no subtitles; the Just set has only Dutch!

That’s MY problem as well: the regional accents can be so authentic that I often have difficulty following without the benefit of subtitles. It’s truly music to my ears...but one wishes one had a libretto!

Thanks Scott for the nice words. I came across the interview lately, I haven’t seen it myself since 1971, but I vaguely remembered Lesley Nunnerely singing.

As I mentioned “Familien Ashton” was extremely popular here, I guess nearly all the population watched it (with only one TV channel at the time…). Colin Douglas came here several times and it was even published a book about him and the series (with a lot of interesting pictures.)

Regarding the DVDs, I need Norwegian (or English) subtitles (it’s a rather dialogue heavy series), but it might be interesting to have the Dutch one for comparison.

The interview is an INCREDIBLE treat! For an American in 2018 to watch a Norwegian TV interview from 1971 is mindbending! The quality of the interview is TOPS! All AFAW fans need to see it. Thank you for providing this!

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,
