Same here

@@chaeobods 57 here and absolutely right. omg those erstwhile innocent times were just perfect for us kids. not saying life was in the world of Enid Blyton perfect as bad shit still went on but wow, look at todays kids.. mobiles painted faces lashes, no hide n seek and all those wonderful games we played. everyone wants to be grown up, indoctrinated by tv and the Kardashians et al. I thank fuck I'm not a kid now . my eyes well up. when I think of running across fields thru woods playing innocent war games. keep the faith people and never forget how bloody lucky we were. x

Same here. It brings tears to my eyes. This theme with Black Beauty galloping freely can never be beaten and never will. 70's TV was special, wish we could have it back sometime.

Share your sentiment completely. Such seemingly carefree times looking back on them now. If only there were a portal back to them. The theme tune still retains its magic after all this time.

Bath, Howard’s Way, That’s Life, bed. :)

A reality show is only as bad as its producers.

JESUS CHRIST will come very soon!

@@aclark903 that's the point

I played this in my brass band-a very British tradition

I agree Nick! I am 58, and This song is a little bit of my childhood in Sweden 🇸🇪

I’m 48 and it brings tears to my eyes too, wish today was like it was back in the day.

So right, the world is a horrible place live in these days and it's very depressing.

Yep, 52 myself and this is just magical! They were truly happy days.

@@stevenreed1923 😢😢😢 Same age...the same feeling is here>>>I was watching in early 80s

You've taken me back in time to those same feelings.

hows the 60s going bumble ?

Yeah bloody school on Monday, forgot to do my homework,erm ……. Black beauty ate it 😂

Oh my . yes!!!😢❤😢❤

​@@growlerthe2nd712😂😂😂

I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could.

Ski Sunday ?

Future is in the past...

Beautiful music fantastic series, Sunday afternoons 1972

Try John Barry. The Persuaders!

The world is falling apart.

This theme tune came in to my head for some reason and just had to YT it; Can confirm, I did tear up a little. I really don't know why, but deffo memories of Swap Shop, Tiswas, Banana Splits, The Red Hand Gang et al - all the innocence of childhood, all came flooding back. Now surrounded by death and misery. Nevermind - Happy New Year folks :-)

@@doctorcrankyflaps1724 damn right it is,

@@doctorcrankyflaps1724 No it’s not the world is just as amazing as it ever was. Life has just made us hard and cynical. Go out and smell the flowers and wave at a toddler and you’ll feel much better. 🥰

Don't you wish you could just go back and be happy again even for a day, week or for good, there's something special about childhood.

Times and people we can never get back. 😪

Reminds me of a different time, it's beautiful ❤️

Lovely tune lovely horse miss those times

moogsy147 Much better times indeed. I'm 81½ and am constantly reminded how the world as we know it is being destroyed by technology and attitudes. Turn on one's TV today and it won't be too long before you're bombarded with frightful sensationalism featuring self-obsessed morons on programmes like Naked Attraction( grown adults bollock- naked on national TV groveling for dates!) and The Sex Clinic (again grown adults on National TV exposing us all to their rancid STD's and egos out of control!!) I believe this is what such things as FaceBook has created, monstrous creatures who believe everything about them and their lives is interesting to everyone else. Including their diseased sexual organs!! 🎩

Haha same here in New Zealand !

Same, at my grandparents. Ham salad I always remember. Now I wanna cry a little, lol !

52 me

Same here... Watched it during tea time... . While I was a kid... 😍 sweet memories...

Hahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my. That's the genius that came into my mind. I love this theme, and Alan.

A sanitary bag! What are you trying to say?!

😁

He's right though! 🤓

me too. why???

It's such a beautiful piece of music, and it brings back memories of happier times when my mum and dad were here.

maybe that's why so many of the comments include tears

Very well said, an excellent description.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's so heroic! I feel so emboldened! I love you 😍 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I totally agree with you 100% Tally

Nah ! wurzel gummage

You are so right Tally

I watvhed this religiously as a child

Loved it!

Me too Petra Herzog. Reminds me of running and exploring as a child growing up in the early to mid 70's when life back then was gentler and kinder. Am 50 now and this music still moves me to tears.

The best years of my child hood

Crying at how much time has passed and how quickly. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. Just to see my mum and dad again ...

I'm 54 now and I agree Reinier

@@Brian-zl8qj That is nice hear 😃. 🙋‍♂️

For 15 years of my early life, I basically spent every spare moment drawing horses because of that music and the imagery of black beauty running to the theme. I’m in my 50’s now and now can draw excellently. In art collage I was picked as the best life sketcher in my year of 90 students. My aptitude for muscle and bone structure is all thanks to this fine BBC program. I’m happy to pay my TV licence for all the great memories and even skills there programs ave given me.🥰

I watched this here in Ireland to ... I always sing to the duu duuu du du du du du du du bit ☺️

I too love this music,bought the record when it came out,still have it to this day.Great stuff!

Me too 😊

Absolutely! ❤️❤️

I was only a child but I feel so lucky to have those memories.

@@ianhalsall-fox It was LWT London Weekend Television

Indeed watching it at my grans on a Sunday

This and the Golden Shot,hosted by Bob Monkhouse,filled some of our aimless Sunday late afternoons in the front room of our house in Bushey. Whoever didn't bag the armchair made do with viewing from the couch.

Helen I guess were all feel a little that way, what I'd give to go back for a day and have some fun with old friends.

I miss those days. I miss my mum. She loved this.

Yes, all of us around the coal fire. My mum and dad are now sadly gone 😢

@@rw8733 Your Mum and Dad (God rest them both) could be up there petting the nose of the real Black Beauty for all we know, right as we speak, and they’d be smiling right down on you. Their love for you still lives in your heart. 💐

Amen to that.Sunday TV at its finest

Egg and chips in front of the box, while me dad filled out his pools coupon, while rest of family chatted in kitchen, not forgetting provi lady, god bless my mum x

I was 5 years old in 1972,but remember this every sunday after bath time, eating seafood.

@@LanceHardingNostalgia!😍

@@jessicaaugustsson4358 I remember being scared whitless, kind of traumatised by the monk with a skeleton face in the episode Out Of The Night. As a kid I thought he was chasing me down the stairs at night, until I fell down the stairs with my bottom on the stair & my legs up in the air.

@@LanceHarding 😂

I was 4, still listening to it. Happy memories 🥂

I'm 56 and I'd go back to those days if I could.

Love this tune, I miss the 70sand80s. These times are awful,! So many diseases, and being 54 years old.looking at black beauty and that lovely tune by Denis king, certainly brings so much nostalgia..

I think we all would jump at the chance to go back, I feel really sad thinking about the future for my kids, I just wish they knew the times we all grew up in, such great times.

There were four horses involved but the one thta did the credits and the riding and driving was an American Trotter

Mid-70s, I think, Sunday evening TV (bath night!).

Isn't it just such a wonderful theme, I adore horses and I dreamt of getting one, sadly not to be. But the tune fills me with happiness and sadness for a time long lost.

Narcissisticnobody Thank you I agree, Black Beauty died of a broken heart when Jenny (Stacy Dorning) left to go to New Zealand in the FIRST 1990 Series, try finding that, it will make you cry that I KNOW.

Narcissisticnobody Well said Narciccictienobody #bringbackthe80sand90's

Narcissisticnobody Well said, it had the same effect on me too! There's nothing quite like the memories of your childhood to stir up all those feelings again.

My thoughts exactly. Makes me nostalgic and a little sad...melancholy. Times gone by that we'll never experience again. 😳

+Gerry Ryan. We watch black beauty everty sunday afternoon when I was little . 但是现在电视台再也不会播这种外国电视剧了，当时还有 未来青年，小岛上的孩子。

Exactly. When I hear this i feel depressed Sunday night blues. School the next day

Darren Wison She'll always be with you Daz...

Darren Wison god bless you and your Mum in haven

Bless your mother. I hope you're doing okay ❤️❤️

Love this theme from black beauty I remember it very well when I was 5 watching it with my brother sister and my mum .Sadly she was killed when I was 6 so having this theme set as my ring tone,brings back happy memories.

God bless your mom

And as I can't actually return to my childhood on and on I go with Rihanna and " Diamonds " ❤................

......stopped off to say goodbye to Prince and his "Little Red Corvette" as I remember, watch and keep a look out for where his "horses run free".........X🎉......

God Bless you, thank you for finding this version, Happy Days, take care 😃🐴🐎

I miss my mum. Hearing this reminds me of happier times 😌

@@rw8733 beautiful animal

Bless the two of you

I love this comment. I too cry because it reconnects me to my innocence and those golden Summer late afternoons of my childhood. I was born Dec 1968 and growing up in the 70's was a magical place to be. Bless you goggleheads for your moving comment. NAMASTE

What kind of spaz writes stuff like this on a fucking youtube comment section ffs? If you want to say that shit tell her in person. Fucking turd.

@@rulebrittania2784 just pissed myself laughing at this !

Awww what moving and touching words which I'm sure are from your heart. God bless you and your wife in Jesus name.

The little hobo the German shrpard dog wod help people they want to keep him but he's go off doin wat he did helping

Mushy is the coolest word of the 70s/80s...!!!!! Love it

I can only reflect what most others say, it was sunday afternoon and early morning summer holidays nostalgia.

I remember 1971 and the coal strikes ,no electricity for four of the days of the week,the snow for three months and reading by candlelight. All that seems easier than life today.

We British know how to do decent music!!

We are the same age.... my sister lives in New Zealand, Swanson near Auckland, glad this also brought back childhood memories for you too x.

Mine too. This takes me back to happier days.

Same here. Miss my parents deeply and those innocent days of being a child. Everything seemed safe and happy. Then we grow up and yikes!

Follyfoot farm. Lightning. Tree

I can really relate to what you said ..I think when I heard bright eyes as a child it was the first time I'd felt sadness ..I probably didn't even know what the feeling was ...but it was so powerful. I think some music is just very emotive and can really move you. Even if I hear that piece of music now it sends a wave of nostalgia and almost heartbreak right through me. Watership down is such a classic! Sorry for the long message ..what you wrote struck a chord!

So true. Amazing how music can move us.

Michele D. Davess

I was born and bred where they filmed it.

Michele D. IVES-DAVESS I lived about 2 miles from stockers farm for 28 years. I always remember when it came on the music use to make me feel sad for some unknown reason. It was the same with bright eyes from Watership down.

Look up the English constitution party and know your rights

loved this show :)

me too :)

snowbird68 dont think i ever watched this but the music is in my head and always has been. its just so epic

oh wow. i watched it as a young girl but yes the music is epic. :)

Lizzie G makes me cry even now and im 46. I certainly well up.

Better times.

I know what you Mean, there is just something that makes you come over all unnecessary, classic

Sameee! It’s magical. 😭😭😭😭

I think there was a lot on TV in the 70s that was very harmful for kids, but our parents protected us from most of it. That's my understanding now in 2021. (9 in '79)

You are very welcome, thank you for stopping by.

You are very welcome @Warren Day 🐴🐎🐴

We watched The Changes and I vaguely remember Kizzy,too,it was the name of the titular character who was a gypsy girl.
