Final post

Classic Emmerdale

I can't remember the changeover on screen back in 1998 but I was young and I guess the fact there was little shots of the new village at first means it was very gradual. The second episode last Thursday featured the last shots of the old post office and the bus stop area and road down to Esholt and another shot of Mandy walking down the road at the side of the houses.

My first memory of the wider shots were when the credits changed but clearly my memory is bad.

Friday's episodes were basically just a load of exposition about the Dingles, letting us know they'd always been around and were infamous in the village even though we'd never seen them before or heard them talked about in 22 years (apart from Zoe & Chris's brief mention of their feud with the Glovers a few weeks earlier, clearly setting up the first appearances of both families).


Yes the dialogue felt very forced on discussing the Dingles. I can see at this point whilst regulars may have started to get annoyed with the show. Joe leaving was awful (though I guess he always intended to come back until producers decided otherwise) but such a limp exit after all those years.

Can feel the changes now in full force...
