I may have written about this
hugely successful Danish series (which originally aired between 1978 and 1982)
before but Mom and I are watching it again and thoroughly enjoying it. It’s a
melodrama that starts in 1929 and essentially shows the rise of the middle
class and demise of the upper class. It’s a more realistic look at class
difference than either Upstairs, Downstairs or Downton Abbey and I feel so
sorry that it isn’t available in English as it would be a terrific program for
PBS or Knowledge channel to run.
I get a real kick of the down to
earth characters such as Oluf Larsen and his dog Kwik. I’ve put a link below so
you can check out this series. The last link is the actual program but
unfortunately it no longer has English subtitles so it is all in Danish – but for
my Danish family take a look and improve your dansk. I really love this show.
It has been available with subtitles in 2017 and I am not sure why that went
away as you’d think once the expense was made it would not be costly? Anyway I hope some folks may like this and at
least my Canadian friends should look at the summary of what it is about and if
I hear of a new subtitled series I will let you know.
