Whats the music at 42:00?
7th May 1970.
Anyone know the shopping centre type place he's walking through at the start?
I love Auden's poetry. I don't know any 20th century English poet who produced better verse than he did. And Melvyn, dear, why bring up that so old -- decades old -- row about Auden and Isherwood staying in America during the war? Who the hell cares? In 1940, Auden was 33 and Isherwood 36 -- hardly in their prime battlefield years. Should they have come back to London and written telegraphs for the Foreign Office? Come up out of the trenches, Melvyn; the war is over. Besides, England didn't really treat its gay war heroes all that well, did it? I mean, look what it did to Alan Turing, who practically saved the island single handedly. The way Bragg sets up the narrative of this documentary is really mendacious.
Does perhaps explain why people stopped reading Auden as much, however.
Ye dee dee art though, divven ye?
Great to see Melvyn standing in front of a snowy Killhope Wheel
❤🖤🤍
Six years after he made this one, I started in my first job with Butterdane UK. We handled all the shipping orders for Lurpak butter to the UK. The Danish Office was in Aarhus.
C. F. Møller - a name to conjure with?
Those pesky people ruining museums by their presence ...
9:24 I'm a bit confused about his comment about Eskimos/'colour problem'? I know it was a different time and some of what was said everyday back then would be beyond the pale now but if I'm decoding what he's saying correctly, that's a pretty crass comment. Unless someone can put me right on his actual meaning and I'm way off the mark?
I, too, stopped and rewound this, as I couldn't believe what I'd heard. I had huge admiration for Nairn's humane insights into our urban landscapes, both through his writing and work to camera, but I hadn't watched this programme before. Even by the standards of the late 60s/early 70s, this would have been a dubious remark. Very troubling.
I'm pretty sure he's talking about Greenland (which at that time was a part of Denmark), and home rule / independence was a huge issue in the 70's: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenlandic_independence#Moves_towards_independence. "Eskimo" is an outdated term, of course, but the comment isn't as crass as it at first sounds.
@@joest1231 Ah, OK. Then that changes what I thought he was trying to say somewhat. Thanks for clarifying.
Does anyone know whose version of 'Waters of Tyne' (4:40) it is? I really like it.
Wonderful period piece. The 1960s/70s Newcastle of my childhood. Thank you.
a used to walk through the old arcade in the 60s it was full of gold lustre on the capitals ,a think it was an grain storage holding during the Victorian era and I always wondered where the old stones came from when near the byker railway bridge on the right travelling to the city centre I stumbled on them in Heaton opposite wares and bartlet builders merchant warick street heaton
Thanks for posting I love Nairn so nostalgic.
Can't thank you enough for uploading this, I have been looking for it for over a decade
That guy actually looks a little like Auden
Wonderful….thank you for showing….
7 months been up and it’s only just showing me it . And I’ve looked for Ian only recently
Northumbrian burr on that song! Fantastic
Something new on TH-cam on Auden … wonderful!
ARHUS, in the middle of our street
Leeds were a delight to watch when they won the title in 73/74. What if ...
Too late for the uk,after Thatcherism and the scum voted 13 years Tory, Britain is Afrikaans
I remember the replica Royal Arcade - I stumbled across it during a Sunday afternoon walk in the early 90s - no shops there other than a sorry looking newsagent - the whole place looked completely forgotten and unwanted. It left a lasting impression on me - and I’m pleased to see this film featuring much of the Newcastle I knew back then.
When Ahus is said in a Geordie accent it becomes 'our house.'
Many thanks for this, let’s hope the rest of his BBC programmes are made available to view on here or iplayer.
Newcastle and 'Wor hous' surely?
Really enjoyed that. Thanks a bunch
Nairn pronounces" Newcastle" just like the locals. I am impressed
Having lived there nearly a decade so do I. It doesn't actually take 10 years though. More like 10 minutes before a Geordie taked the mick out of you for the RP pronunciation of my natal accent. 🤣🤣🤣
If I remember correctly there's a story that Nairn's death certificate stated (incorrectly) that he was from Newcastle (pronounced 'Nucassel' of course : )
The movie is fictional crap
The movie based on the novel, you mean. A novel is defined as fiction.
@@colinchristie8642 yes fiction and no relation to the truth,, yet many thought it was the truth about clough and united
@@colinchristie8642 people were duped into thinking it was real , using Clough and Leeds They were real life names,, The writer was an idiot and knows little about the game,,
I enjoyed the film found the book rather questionable
'The Damned United' misses two great stories and focusses on a period of time that was representative neither of Leeds or of Clough. In the preceding season, Leeds had taken a season off from kicking people and just outplayed every other team in the team. It suggested that perhaps they had been held back by their own cynicism and would have won more had they focussed on their skills. The second story is that of Clough at Forest. He took a team consisting largely of players that no one else wanted from the 2nd Division (now the Championship) to win 2 European Cups.
the film is a sham, Brian Clough and his family and Johnny Giles sued the film makers
The author's book on the miners' strike is also questionable on its accuracy.
@@alanberkeley7282Did he win?
Home sweet Home and proud too be a Geordie ❤🙏👍
Good to see John Warwick cranking his camera.
The script, "And the only colour problem was Eskimos" !!!!!! Shocking hearing that in 2023, and this was a documentary
I think it's hilarious, different times! I think Nairn would be surprised to see the ethnic make up of Arhus these days, not an eskimo in sight and slums a plenty.

Its more a comment on Danish greenland relations at the time. The reference to "eskimos" as colored would at the time have been PC. If anything its rather positive, in contemporary language, in that he notes Denmark is pretty good, but they have issue with Greenlander inuits.
These old Ian Nairn programs are a delight. Thank you for sharing this!
What year?
Thanks for sharing this!
This is a great share: so it's a big thank you from this old Queer!
Kinda ironic that the country (or empire at that time) that saved millions and acted as a stalwart protector of liberty and freedom across the globe did such horrible things at that time (or even further in the past), we sometimes forget who is the liberator and who is the tyrant, lest they redeem themselves from such actions by never repeating them again...
Loved this documentary ❤️
