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
From the abdication of Edward VIII in 1936 to the death of Princess Diana, from the Suez crisis of 1956 to the murder of Lord Mountbatten, and concluding with the marriage of Charles and Camilla in 2005, this film analyses 10 defining moments when the Queen's judgement, beliefs and perhaps even her identity were tested to the limit. Not days of pageantry or stuffy celebration, but events reflec...
The Queen by Rolf
มุมมอง 504K10 ปีที่แล้ว
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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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’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.
