Rating: *****
Comment: 2 uncredited brothers and a man at Christmas set on a farm in the 1940s in s1e13. Woman and girls in later episodes (woman in s2e1).

Perfect and touching 80s series and I think everyone know that. I recently bought this and have just seen this episode. (I previously had seen this series several times on TV but don't remember this episode.)

This scene is the same plot as in Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (The Ghost of Christmas Past, played by Landon), so the past of the main protagonist in this episode, a mean car salesman. He is 8 yo in this scene (not in bibs) and pulling his sister at her pigtails. The boys in bibs are their brothers. The flashback scene is only dreamt by Victor French.

Only a brief scene at 18 minutes. And bibs are mainly shown from the side and rear or partial /headshots. The blue bibs are very good. But for the brief scenes only rating 5-6. I hope to find more bibs scenes in later episodes.

Victor French also in white bibs in an earlier episode.

The series itself I would give rating 9-10. Many good scenes and many guest stars. Also on my bedroom blog (rating 6, old entry) and my shiny shorts blog.
