Is it possible to download packages from 16-04 repository to install on 18-04

[Bret Busby]

Hello.

It has occurred to me, as the Ubuntu Software Centre, Me TV, NetSurf,
and various other packages in 16.04 are not available in 18.04, is it
possible to download packages from the 16.04 repository, and, install
them in 18.04?

If so, how do we access the 16.04 repositotory and download the 16.04
packages, from 18.04?

Thank you in anticipation.
