When we had a community that looked after each other, now the neighbours don't talk, all because they are so wrapped up in their little consumerist material world with their smartphones etc. We have lost the ability to interact and help each other out.

Maybe as there is nothing else decent on on Sunday Nights ITV could just repeat the original episodes from series 1 onwards (the ones they don't show on ITV 3) to cheer us up.

Actually I Suppose it could work but they would have to explain passing of Oscar, Ventress and Bernie.

Why not make an Heartbeat series taking place today like they did whit The Royal?

I'd just like to have ALL the old Heartbeat shows available some where!

@@katikoszegvari4910 You can buy them all on Amazon. Some are available on KZfaq, but the series are incomplete.

I agree, pity most people I know have either never heard of Heartbeat and/or watched it. Most peoples idea of TV entertain consists of binging of crap on Netflix and all other subscription based streaming sites. Some of the shows on those platform have some very disturbing themes, alot of them quite prophetic when it comes to certain recent events, almost like they knew something in advance something was going to happen, take for instance the "pandemic", alot of shows and films made in recent years seem to eerily predict this.

I remember watching Heartbeat with my Grandma who loved telling me how things where back in her day. my Grandad met the Beatles

To me, the 60's were the best years of my life.

M 😊..😊😊😊😊 😊 😊😊

It was I agree. I get strange looks when I mention to people that I used to watch Heartbeat, like they think I'm a right saddo, comments like "it went on about 20 years too long didn't though" lol. Yeah of course they will think that because they are glued to Netflix and all the propaganda and woke crap that's on there, not to mention Love Island and Married at First Sight.

@Barbara Houghton...Hello, I do so also & will be doing tonight currently on Season 7 where changes start to happen

I have nearly every original broadcast recording of Heartbeat on tape. Some from the 1st (and I think 2nd) series were taped on their second run on ITV from 1995 (like alot of new shows Heartbeat hadn't really sunk in with us at that point) but from series 3 they are from their original broadcast, including this 1994 Christmas Day episode which we taped from the Granada region. Glad to see someone has uploaded it. I would do the same but I don't want a copyright strike on my channel. Most of the other channels uploading episodes are from the DVD versions, which don't contain the original Beatles and Jimi Hendrix songs, and probably why youtube aren't that fussed on deleting them.

In Norway did episode 1 started two weeks ago. NRK2

@@toralm6974 I don't think they will have used the original songs as used on ITV broadcast, i can't imagine a TV channel in Norway wanting to pay a ton of money to use Beatles songs. Only ITV and the Britbox versions (which so far series 1-3 are available, no why only those three) actually use the songs when first broadcast.

It runs 5 episodes a week, lt is in serie 4 or 5 now and l am pretty sure they use the original soundtrack with Beatles, the Kings, Black Sabbath.. instead of cover bands. The same as ITV sendt on Television. Norwegian broadcasting has probably not bought the DVD.

Me too (well this is a repeat showing actually from 1995) and I was 14 lol. I think the target audience of Heartbeat for those who watch the repeats on ITV3 are mainly old people. Heartbeat seems to attract that age group; when I used to visit the village all I saw where old folk. Old people aren't exactly going to be subscribing to Netflix and Britbox as they probably can't afford it lol. Midsomer Murders seem to be aimed at OAPs, but unlike HB I hate it and can't understand why it's still going and into its 22nd series. I thought HB was corny but Midsomer Murders is plain cringyworthy, half the cast can't act for toffee.

I know always had me in stitches that. Also, in a few eps Greengrass calls an horse an HOSS, no idea why but I do believe there was a comic book from the 1950s with a horse named Hoss, so maybe that's where he got the name from. Or maybe it's a Yorkshire saying.

@@Embracing01 Greengrass just has a very strong North Yorks accent so the way he says certain things is quite correct

@RichJW it's because of people with opinions like yours pepple in risiko groups are being put into danger. Bye.

@RichJW clearly have the i. q of a flip flop. Bye

Thanks for sharing love it 💖

Vernon was another person. Peggy was a mix between Greengrass (poaching) and Vernon (business).

When Nick Berry left the series the show obviously the same & it was even more so after Bill Maynard left.

​@@Made1984. I agree, Heartbeat wasn't the same after he left (I wonder if he regretted leaving considering he pretty much did bugger all after Heartbeat apart from Harbour Lights and a lesser remembered series called In Deep?, can't have been the money as he was being paid about 30 grand a series - if only we could all earn that kind of money in our slave wage jobs lol). But I do agree with some that Heartbeat wasn't the same after Kate died. The show was originally written (I think the Nicholas Rea books were based on the same characters) to revolve around the lives of the village bobby and his Dr wife, and for Kate to die it left an empty space so to speak with noone to replace her role, so IMO it lost something before Nick left. Greengrass leaving was the final nail in the coffin for me, and I know alot of fans will disagree. Speaking of Greengrass, but I remember years ago my dad telling me that the original choice for Greengrass was going to be Derek Fowlds, and Blaketon was going to be played by Bill Maynard. No idea where he heard that from as this was back in the 90s when he told me this, whether this was mentioned on a documentary or in a book I don't know. I couldn't imagine Derek Fowlds playing a larger than life village rouge like Greengrass, and vise versa for Sgt Blaketon with Bill Maynard.

@@Embracing01 Agree they were the golden years for Heartbeat. Wonderful.

@@dianewebb3343 I agree. Looking through the entire series from start to end, I think Heartbeat lost a little something as the series progressed.

you're stuck in Japan? I am dying to go back!

@@yakkityyak9336 , why?

@@JohnPutnamalwayslearning wow! Do you really dislike it that much? Maybe you should just come home. I had a wonderful experience, saw and did lots of things, met some really nice people. I can't say enough good about it.

Not forgetting the woke crap, TV nowadays is infested with wokeness where it's about pushing agenda's onto the public.

Best way dvd. Happy Christmas for 2021!!

Live in Ireland too. Just get the sky codes for manual tuning and you can access itv 3 heartbeat every morning half 11. And actually it's on Irish TV virgin media two sky channel 116 at 4.50 and 7.50 everyday

@@neilberry1552 Thanks.

Totally agree. One of the reasons I recorded these episodes was because they were winter based and absolutely gorgeous representations of Yorkshire in Winter. A bygone time. 👍

Personally l would like to finish watching the snow views they were finely covered, thanks for sharing. I almost forgot how lovely Yorkshire lookalike in winter. Merry Christmas to you all.

@@SteveOliverOne Is this from the original broadcast?. The reason I ask if that at the start the announcement says You've Been Framed is an hour, but the Xmas Day 1994 listings I've looked at for the Central region there's no mention of You've Been Framed but "Robin Williams in the Wild with Dolphins". I think this is probably from a repeat showing.

@@Embracing01 I honestly couldn't tell you, I'm afraid 🤔

@@SteveOliverOne I know that sounds an question. Just checked again and apparently it is from 25th Dec 1995, so it was a repeat.

You wood have thought so

Heartbeat was based in the 60s. The theme was sung by Nick Berry. This episode was broadcast in 1994.

Do you mean what year is being portrayed, or what year it was made & first broadcast? I believe at this point in Heartbeat, they’re portraying about 1964 or 1965. This was made and originally broadcast about 30 years later, 1994.

@@salyluz6535 what date is this.
