1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gam Nation.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 2: For more than one hundred years, the corner shop was

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 2: an institution for millions of Australians. More than a simple shop.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: It's the heart of many neighborhoods. And in these days

5
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: where you can buy anything with a click of a button,

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: ask anyone about their childhood corner shop and they can

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: describe it in vivid detail. A new series on the

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: ABC takes us back through one hundred and fifty years

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: of the Australian corner Shop with Annabel Krabbits called Back

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: in Time for the corner Shop. Annabel, Hello, good morning, Annabel,

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: so nice to talk to you. So the same family,

12
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: the Pharones. And now go looking at the corner shop.

13
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: And last week you looked at eighteen fifty what kind

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: of stuff was the corner shop filled within eighteen fifty?

15
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Oh, we have this. We built this corner shop in Botany, right.

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: And the way that we do it is we make

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: them live in a accurately presented era corner shop. They

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: live and sleep in their rooms out the back. And

19
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: this place was like had wooden paneling. It had like

20
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: sort of agricultural tools up in front and pumpkins and

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: stuff and the poor locals in Botany thought that they

22
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: were getting like an artisanal, organic, frereventable shop broken it

23
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: was a TV set anyway. So but of course in

24
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: those days in the eighteen fifties, you didn't have packaged

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: food or anything like that, and most people didn't have well,

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: nobody had fridges. So they used to do their shopping

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: every day. Pop to the general store and get yourself

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: some flour and eggs and butter and whatever, and the

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 1: shop people would measure it out for you and wrap

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: it up, you know. So it was all completely service driven.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,199
Speaker 1: But obviously it wasn't a very easy life for the shopkeepers,

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: particularly the ladies who didn't wait in the shop. They

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: were doing all the workouts back whilst wearing you know,

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: eighteen layers of after garments. Yeah, I mean there was, yeah,

35
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: this sort of horrible then where we've made them make

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: butter in an eighteen fifties butter cherm, which was extremely

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: messy and unplay them. But look tonight episode is has

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: zipped forward to the nineteen twenties, so at least they

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: get like cool clothes and the shop is gorgeous, like

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: it's all sort of deco and lovely, but you know,

41
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: it really doesn't have any of the conveniences of the

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: modern age, so it's still a pretty tough thing to

43
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: manage for the foreign family.

44
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: It's got a pinball machine in nineteen twenties.

45
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Pinball machine they've got They've got to wait for decades

46
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: before the tinnies arrive.

47
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, my kids, because I've got pinball machines, well I'm

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: down to one pinball machine. It's a first world problem.

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: But when that's a very strong thing, you've done that.

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 3: When they look at the pin white kids, when they

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: look at it, they go, well, what's the point? And

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: I just said, when I was a kid, the pinbore

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 3: machine was the greatest thing in.

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: That it's right, And you'd go to the corner shop

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: for your bag of mixed lollies. And the corner shop

56
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: has so many memories. It's where I remember going. I've

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: never smoked, but my friend and I decided that we

58
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: had to buy a pack of cigarettes and wemm, what's

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: the ones mom's life?

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: I remember them.

61
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: So many coming of age stories at the corner shop.

62
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Well, there weren't like collar shops used to sell cigarettes. Singly, right,

63
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: like you're going in and buy one, which is pretty wild.

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: And also this is I mean, you can imagine what

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: a battle this was to get through ABC editorial policy.

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: But like remember those lolly cigarettes yees yeah yeah, yeah,

67
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: Well they were renamed fads and they took.

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: The red tip off them.

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: They took the red.

70
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: Jip when everybody realized that it was pretty sick and

71
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: wrong to be selling cigarettes to kids. But like, yeah,

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I mean the funny thing is, and you notice this

73
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: even with the locals around the Botany area where we

74
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: were filming this, because we make them live in this

75
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: place for a week and then they we let them

76
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: go home for like one night, and we've got this

77
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: team of art, art and set people that rip out

78
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: the shop and rebuild it entirely into a new era.

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: So then they come back and they're just blown away

80
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: by it's changed. It's an amazing job. I mean, I

81
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: never get tired of what just happened. But the people

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: in the local area, every time this shop changes, just

83
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: you can tell how old everybody is and which era

84
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: that they kind of emotionally respond to. And like for me,

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: it was like when the shop got to the seventies

86
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: and eighties, when I was a little kid and having

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: all of those you know, like the excitement of being

88
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: able to go to the corner Shop by yourself, your

89
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: own money, and like you know, you could spend twenty

90
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: cents and get like quite a lot of lollies for that.

91
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's like a rite of passage, it really is. Yeah,

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: and even just like Evenmber well, I don't know, in

93
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the shop, I'm jumping forward now a few episodes. This

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to a couple of weeks, but you know

95
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: those like sort of streamery things that keeps us live

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: by six streets the place get you get totally tangled

97
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: up in it on the way in.

98
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all to the nostalgia nerves you go to

99
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: and like the old days, you'd buy a single cigarette,

100
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 3: as you say, these days they just sell harmless vapes.

101
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 3: You know, what's what's happening.

102

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: probably not appropriate.

Speaker 3: No, don't smoke, don't smoking, just before we all freak out.
