The Nations Railway: The Golden Age of British Rail (HD)
We revisit Britain's railways during the era of nationalisation. For all its bad reputation today, the old British Rail boldly transformed a decayed, war-torn Victorian transport network into a system fit for the 20th century. With an eye firmly on the future, steam made way for diesel and electric, new modern stations like Euston were built, and Britain's first high-speed trains introduced.
Made with unique access to the British Transport Films archive, this is a warm corrective to the myth of the bad old days of rail, but even it can't hide from the horror that was a British Rail sandwich.

When Wrestling was Golden: Grapples, Grunts and Grannies
มุมมอง 13K9 ปีที่แล้ว
BBC Timeshift turns back the clock to a time when villains wore silver capes, grannies swooned at the sight of bulky men in latex and the most masculine man in the country was called Shirley. In its heyday, British professional wrestling attracted huge TV audiences and made household names of generations of wrestlers from Mick McManus and Jackie 'Mr TV' Pallo to Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy. W...
Bullseyes and Beer: When Darts Hit Britain (HD)
มุมมอง 97K10 ปีที่แล้ว
BBC Timeshift tells the story of how a traditional working-class pub game became a national obsession during the 1970s and 80s, and looks at the key role television played in elevating its larger-than-life players into household names. Siobhan Finneran narrates a documentary which charts the game's surprising history, its cross-class and cross-gender appeal, and the star players that, for two d...
Ten Days That Made The Queen
มุมมอง 266K10 ปีที่แล้ว

Not days of pageantry or stuffy celebration, but events reflec...
The Queen by Rolf

This special, broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2006, showed the creation of Harris's 80th birthday portrait painting of Queen Elizabeth II. It was highly publicised because the Queen had never been seen on such a programme before. In it, Harris goes to Buckingham Palace where he meets the Queen and paints her in an impressionist style.
To Kill a Burglar: The Tony Martin Story (2006)
มุมมอง 416K10 ปีที่แล้ว
British documentary originally shown on Thursday 16th March 2006 about the Norfolk farmer, Tony Martin who shot a burglar dead in his home in August 1999. Martin was convicted of murder, later reduced to manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility, and served three years in prison, having been denied parole.
great film
Hanging in Andrew's bedroom now.
"Painting by paedophile" TH-cam really should delete this.
A great artist and entertainer.
As a child, I marvelled at how Emu really seemed to have a mind of his own! I still have hysterics watching the Parkinson clip - sheer brilliance! RIP Rod, you were terrific.
Tony shot low, but young Fred was bending down stuffing the loot in a sack. So he was hit in the body. Fred rushed outside and collapsed in the bushes, where he finally bled out and died. If the police had conducted a proper search, Fred might have been saved. By abandoning the population of rural Norfolk to low life criminals, the local police were both slack and incompetent. A major factor not disclosed at Tony Martin's trial. With the advantage of hindsight, if Tony had found and buried Fred's body, all this unpleasantness might have been avoided.

Tony was convicted while a Labour was in power. Enough said.
I still love the guys art.👍🙏
thank you
A kind man unlike many of the time
Not commenting on the British rail industry here, but NASA also had their own separate film team during the late 50s and early 60s similar to British Transport Films. Few knew exactly what was happening with space outside of individual launch broadcasts on TV, but films were produced to a similar standard to those here - more as a way to highlight to the public where their investment was going. Neither could be considered propaganda - they were factual and showed progress. One unintentional downside of these films is: we get to look back and see when that investment and those improvements also ended.
The moral of the story is, don't break into anyone's home. Ever
Why meri bhi salary kar de railway mein Bharat se Bhartiya sanvidhan
Jagran grandfather Africa shehdol bajar grandfather main Hun Raja Raja
O my friend 30 lakh my salary Ho Gaya kam Damini Africa dollar Africa Jana Africa dena no yeah yeah Africa
Either way, the man was defending his property, and they shouldn't have been there in the first place. Its terrible to put someone else in that situation. Tony obviously didn't want to have people break into his house.
I wonder how knowing he was on TV as an adopted "national treasure" made those women feel. Sickened, at least.
Tony Martin was 100% right. If this happened in America then Tony wouldnt have spent a day in jail and rightly so. In the UK the law is always on the criminals side.
Isn’t the kid playing Fred, Gendry from game of thrones? the guy from skins?
Hi fred, is it hot in hell ya wee tramp?
Flouting the rules, not flaunting them. Flaunting was what Adrian Street was doing.
I never seen an Octopus painting!
If only crowdfunding had been a thing back then, Rod was so popular I'm sure he could have been helped by the public. As for being stuck with the double act, he milked it for all it was worth for 30-odd years and presumably could have instructed his agent to look for small roles in straight plays and movies. At the end of the day there are millions who think the world of him, including it would appear many hundreds of satisfied women. Making people alternately laugh and climax is a life spent well, methinks.
Fearons a twat. Commits a crimes and blames his victim for not calling the police
British rail seems to try with the extreme underfunding they had at the time. They really thought to try new bolds ideas to try draw in customers that you wouldn't see today like the APT! I may be wrong and anyone can correct me.
Tony Martin recorded Headless Cross with Black Sabbath... I'm on his side!
"he was a nice lad, he would have been a nice man" He was out thieving you fool and paid the price.
The sheer fucking audacity of this Brendon Fearon to go on a documentary as the guy who broke into peoples houses for a living and complain about how he was ambushed by a vunerable old man fearing for his life. What an absolute waste of fucking oxygen that man is, i'm sorry such a young lad had to die, but he wouldn't have died if he wasn't a theiving little scumbag with shit parents, and a shit older role model such a fearon. Talking in the beginning about how he was a nice lad 'but the people who he's knocked on the door and terorised wouldn't say that' yeah no shit
I still have nightmares about grappling Grannies … !
Brilliant still piss myself laughing at these 2 😂
His biggest mistake was not living next to a swamp.
The UK's laws on self defence must be the most disempowering in the whole world.
My home is my castle….
59 minutes you won't get back 😊
Twat bollax
Queen Elizabeth II 👑 is like my Nan 👵🏻
Brendan Fearon k!lled Fred Barras by taking him robbing. With any luck, that fateful decision will stay with him for the rest of his life.
Ross his comment was truly awful
He sounded like a not very nice guy
Its sad that a young lad died! but unfortunately if you burgle someones house you cant complain if the homeowner defends himself and his property... in this case it was a farm house and everyone knows that farmers are likely to have shotguns. What did they expect to happen ?
0:21 IT’S NINETEEN EIGHTY!!!!!
Poor Higgy
Sorry you broke into a man’s home You both deserve the outcome I remember this case And I totally support Tony Martin
Give the guy credit he was a tallented artist.
Rolf talks like a cat, and that moustache and goaty beard are a dead giveaway Rolf was a red hot cat.
This video should be called When Death Calls or Kill in the spirit world 🤔
I’ve been watching the Pink Windmill Show, and he had a piece in it called Boggle’s Kingdom where he played a Tudor period king. Apparently he included that in the series to show his versatility as not just a presenter and Emu’s right hand man, but as an actor too. The bird made him, but sadly it shrouded everything else about him.
Omg. If you want to steal you know you going to get hurt. Dont blame the houseowner. Its his house. He did not go to your house to shoot you. Its crazy to blame the houeeowner . Stop protecting criminals.

take off that human mask and there will be a lizard underneath looking back at you.
