If this was filmed in 1968, this was the very last years of Black Lion Yard (that Georgia walks down) and the original Old Montague Street - both demolished within 6 or 7 years of this film. What little was left of the Jewish community was still managing to hang on into the 1960s, but by the 1970s this quickly started to vanish as those that could migrated to the suburbs. As Georgia said in this charming film, the east end is alive but continues to ebb and flow which is what it has done to this day. We can all look back on this with rose tinted glasses but some of the housing that was knocked down would have fallen down if it wasn't cleared away - I just think that most of what was put back in its place was so brutal, at the same time it ripped the heart out of the place. RIP both Lionel and Georgia, it is the beauty of You Tube today that films of this type can be protected and shown to new generations. Without it, these old places as they once were would be confined completely to history and forgotten as the oldies sadly pass away.

I would like to see sweet Georgia Brown go visiting some of the jolly old Mosque's around the East End as a Jew and see what sort of welcome she gets.

Georgia comes across as a lovely, spirited and intelligent woman. I wish she was still around.

Anyway, my uncle Ken managed the old one in the '50s, it was sad when they knocked it down, I remember we had great parties there when I was little. The pub we used most in the 60s and 70s was the Temple Bar down Walworth Road, had some great times there. Then there was the Thomas a Becket on New Kent Road, used to go upstairs there and watch Henry Cooper training. Oh how I miss those days mate; it's all changed now and not for the better either.

Interesting window into that time.

I am just amazed at how far ahead of her time Georgia Brown was. In the light of the way some people feel free to behave in an openly racist way today wouldn't it be good for the BBC to rerun this programme ? It is always a tragedy when people who want to encourage reconciliation die much too young. Georgia Brown was a terrible loss not only to the theatre, but to all who long for people to live together in peace. It was interesting to actually see Tubby Isaacs because Helen Shapiro mentions him in her book too. I was at Wilton's Music Hall in Graces Alley recently - a stunning place steeped in Whitechapel history. Well worth a visit.

I think its the suspicious foreigner syndrome coupled with fear of non Christians which would have been the norm in Europe in centuries when Biblical brainwashing was the only form of education most of the population received . Christianity has been the dominant religion in Europe for the last couple of millennia and anybody practicing a lifestyle and rituals outside that norm would have been the subject of suspicion. Modern Jews do integrate,but even today the Orthodox Jews do not court integration so leave themselves outsiders to the rest of society the prejudices that still exist today are born of times when all Jews were orthodox . The hatred of Jews by today's Muslims is obviously born of the Palestinian/Israel issues,but that by rights should only be felt by Arabs directly affected by Israeli settlement,alas Islam is all about mass brainwashing so Muslims the world over are taught to harbour a prejudice towards Jews. The bottom line seems to be that Humans with their over complex minds are flawed and Xenophobia is inherent in the human Psychi and widespread dependency on a belief in Gods and other fantasies is the root cause of humanities woes.

The battle at Khybar was in 623... Be that as it may, I don't think the comments on KZread is the best place to look for explanations of why people behave the way we do.
