It's amazing, isn't it! I've been watching a few of these clips for about a week now and it's only just really sunk in that I'm watching some people who were born in the 19th century. I'm a history buff, so I naturally get a kick out of that, and I too often wonder how people like Ms. Brodie (I hope I spelled that right) felt living through so many different periods of time like you said from horses and firelamps to electricity, movies, television, cars and airplanes. It's incredible to me!

let's say that this was around 1952 and if this lady was 86, that means she was born about 1866, give or take a year. imagine the changes in her lifetime she experienced. from horses and firelamps, to electricity, movies, television, car and airplanes. she would have been about well into her 20's when she got used to electicity and possibly indoor plumbing.

@@Celisar1 "only stands up to inspect her ribbon..." Not really. If you watch enough of these you will see him regularly make a witty remark when he stands for the guest; it is possibly partially as a way to break the ice. Some people would be intimidated having to greet 4 celebrities. As to the politeness of touching her ribbon without asking, that wasn't the point I corrected you on.
