Wonderful to see my uncle-in-law, the renowned polymath and curator of Dumfries Museum, Alf Truckell, in his prime. When my brother, Dennis, was in his teens, he helped at the museum's Camera Obscura. I remember Alf's famous family get-togethers on New Year's Day at his house in Carsethorn with great pleasure. He put so much booze in his trifle, it wasn't long till we all got a little squiffy! He and his brother, my uncle Hammy, were fine raconteurs and writers, and I recall them both with much fondness. Thank you so much for sharing this x

Love this old video about my home town

I remember watching this as a kid. Never forgot it. Absolutely terrifying. Thanks for posting it!

A class of their own, the world's grestest ice Dancers!! Never been knighted or Damed? Fabulous to watch. Pure ,Theatre . 1:22:32

David Vine was sublime as a presenter.

Love seeing slim youths.I remember not being able to put weight on.

The best of the best.

Imagine what would have happened if Christopher Dean had become a policeman. I wonder what their ex partners felt when they watched them. They will always be the greatest because they made the rules and performed the new moves first.

Used to spend long days here as a child, always remember it being a hot-spot for snakes, oh the memories.

Diese Einheit einfach göttlich

A dying, if not dead, breed. Surely the last of a kind as we come kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Kind of sad.

Fun fact for those not from the area. If you follow the line of Stone Street from Petham towards Canterbury, it follows the line of Iffin Lane and would have originally met Wincheap by the castle. So, it doesn't actually "start south west of Canterbury", it would originally have started by the original city wall.

If the show was continuing some time in the last decade, I would be on it when my school taxi had an accident and slid off into a deep snowbank in December 2010!. From Joe. X

This was a great program.

Wow documentaries were a lot different then eh, more factual and a lot less emotion and crying

Oh dear god this is one of the episodes that i remember most

That looked like old Vic Clarke the Signwriter from Hoath....a true traditional free hand writer.

Parrot definitely cheated their unfortunately didn't expect that from him.

I watched this for the nostalgia, and just came away with a real sense of despair, because I can guarantee you this sort of altruistic behaviour from strangers would definitely not happen today. That bus driver who drove the guy to the hospital? Nowadays, you'd get people saying, "Not my problem, mate. I'm going to be late on my schedule if I do that. Probably get in trouble with the bus company." He drove him right to the hospital and the ambulance crews were there instantly with a stretcher. Nowadays? That'd take about two hours, because of the Tory cuts to the NHS meaning they're stretched to the absolute limit.

Love that picture at 0:40

Great to see this. I always like David Bellamy.

I uploaded another partially recorded episode: th-cam.com/video/pQpxob68fW0/w-d-xo.html

The intro used to scare the shit out of me as a kid.

Do you know the numbers of the locos?

My conclusion from watching this now is that I’m old AF

Is that boy still alive today too tell the story

I was in the scouts for a bit, but there is no way I would have wanted to do this.

bring back 999

Lovely , really Lovely .

Thank-you for the upload. I really enjoyed that. Especially as he talks of the Egyptians system being less advanced to the Babylonian's... I once taught myself the Egyptian method for basic mathematics and found it to be very 'comfortable' - it felt different... perhaps more connected to the world around us (i.e. measurement lengths)... this was some time ago though ;-)

Great simple people...I envy them ...

RIP The Great WT
