Memories of childhood. Coming home from school, with nothing on the television worth watching only the Trade Test Transmission Films on BBC2. Some of these shows were great.
@@richardhemingway6084 Great memories, seeing it on bbc2 trade test transmissions. Also it came to my local cinema the ABC in Dover as the supporting feature to The Adventures of the Wilderness Family in October 1977
I got a bit dewey-eyed watching this. Because as I am sure many in the commsnts have, I have done this for real! In the early 90's I was very ill and very poor at the time, and whilst driving past a back-street scrap-yard on the way to my s**t job 'thought' I had found a lost racing car!!?? So in the way home I knocked on the gate amd asked, it was not a racing-car at all, but quite by chance, the way the sheet was draped over the chassis and remaining steering-column made it look like it had a body!! To cut a long story short, the focus this car gave me saved my life. I made a body from an old chip-shop pie cabinet, and then I drove it across the Sahara desert in 97! (Registration no KSK 362). I sold the car to buy this house and I believe it now lived in Ireland. Bsst wishes from an Englishman now making and restoring suits of armour in a French forest. Thank you for this beautiful film. 🇬🇧⚒️🌞 PS: I recommend everyone tries bringing something mechanical back to life... There are not many things more wholesome and rewarding.

I searched for many years for the DVD of this film. It was a major part of my early TV experience. I eventually got it from BP films and it remains my most treasured film. Nostalgic memories of how life used to be....I miss the true and proper English way of life so much ❤❤❤

I clearly remember this film and watching it as a treat at school back in the early 70’s. a great film and back to the era I’m so pleased I grew up in!
How wonderful to see this again , must be almost 50 years since I last saw it. Memories of being tucked up on the sofa, wishing I was the little girl next door and thinking I could marry the chap building his beautiful car. Thank you so much for sharing this, it's made me smile .😀😀😀😀
Just wonderful - buried in my subconscious for decades since seeing it multiple times as a very young child - a wonderful wash of nostalgia for a simpler, less-knowing past
The house remains pretty much the same, but the garage has gone and a house has been build in its place. You can see the house next to it where the little girl lived, the road where the house is cambridge road west, farnborough, check it out on google maps
Still junk cars there? Here in the USA so many junkyards I grew up around are long since gone and some crappy business always goes up in them places that has no soul whatsoever.
@@moosehand8721 we don't have any scap yards anymore,long gone are the days when you could go and get a use gearbox for your ford cortina from the local scrappy as we used to call them. It's such a shame.
Quite a interesting movie. The car of course is the star,The owner of the Bullnose Morris in the film, Eric Longworth, kept the car until his death in 2011. The car is now owned by Stuart Cooke of Darwen Lancashire. When the film was shot, the car had already been fully restored, so the chassis of another car which Eric was restoring at the time, a rare 1916 Perry, was used to replicate the Morris during restoration. The Little Girl is Sandra leo who acted in another film 'psych 59 '.
@@michael5089 Just in case you didn't know; although Ron Grainer wrote the music for Doctor Who it was actually interpreted and put together from scratch by Delia Derbyshire, although she never received a credit for doing so.

Just happened apon this wonderful blast from the past! What a great little movie! I am an eighty-year-young South African boy who lives in beautiful Pinelands, Cape Town. When I was in my early teens our neigbour gave me his old Austin 7 as long as I removed it from his garage. Dad was the branch manager of Robb Motors in Rondebosch, and as the main BMC agent in South Africa, he had access to much knowlege and spares. Dad suggested that we strip the car and rebuild the engine and chassis. My metalwork teacher was a vintage car rebuilder (he had a beautiful Austin Ulster special) and he gave me numerous bits and pieces which I used when rebuilding my very first car - not to mention much sage advice! We did the engine rebuild and cleaned and polished the inlet manifold and brass updraught carburettor. We got her running beautifully, put on a temporary seat for the driver, and used to drive her up and down our runway, reversing, changing gears, and having a helluva lot of fun! Sadly we could not afford the bodywork, and it was with a broken heart that I had to sell my car to another enthusiast in Claremont, who had the money to complete the build. What wonderful memories! I am still passionate about cars, motorcycles and planes, in fact - anything woth a petrol engine!
My dad was a Chevrolet dealer in the 50's-60's, he had MG's, Austin Healey convertibles, to bad I wasn't around yet as I was the youngest, he also took home program cars for Chevy like the '55, '56, '57, even Stingrays, but he got out of that business when I came along, I was the only one with that passion while my 2 older brothers didn't care for that.
@@BackToTheBlues we never had a car just push bikes 🚳 my brother bought the first in 1974 a 1959 Austin A40 , then I bought one in 1976 for £15 and old Bedford ca van Happy times with family.. still got my brother to argue with.
Superb. The filling station where the Bullnose had its chassis and tracking done is still there, but the forecourt has grown a bit and the Post Office opposite has disappeared completely. Now to find the Shell film about the Kariba dam.....
I love England/Britain I love all of their programs. Best of all I love the people and the history of England . I live in the United States and I would trade the United States for England any day. Long live the queen God bless all of you stay safe❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇🌷🌷🌷

@@drcrusherdata"News" today is about WHO owns the broadcasting company and what political views they have. Sports is just a round about way for corporations to get their names plastered all over people and 'green wash'.
even the kid looking both way at 26:20 is rare these days. No one raises them and we have to make everything safe since kids are unable to think safely now
Wow, I haven't seen this for over 55 years. I think it was shown on BBC2 in the late 60's, but we only had a 405 line TV with two channels, so I didn't see this little gem till my dad upgraded to 625 line and we could get all three available channels. Ahhhh , those were the days.
This short little movie probably single-handedly got me interested in working on cars. Such great memories watching it and wishing that I could build something like that! I still dream of building a car every time I go by an old wrecking yard!
a touching film, this is how I started my adventure with motorcycles many decades ago. I remember how my mother, out of concern for me, made sure that "I hope it won't drive". Eventually the old Matchless started and even drove sometimes. Later there were many other motorcycles and this is still the case today. I still have the enthusiasm, I hope I have enough health.
I've seen this way back in the school days, when they had 16mm projectors. Just by seeing that dog in the opening credits, I knew this is the film, which is now on TH-cam!
Great little film, looks like the austin Healey is dead but the little morris is alive and well, love the way the garage proprietor has the old skills when needed, also it's Britain when i was a kid, before the madness, before all the 'imports', before rich city types bought the countryside and made it too expensive for the locals, can i go back please.
@gregsimons48 I'd love to return to these halcyon days too. Of all the films I have ever seen this is my favourite of all time. Absolutely wonderful and nostalgic.
Pure nostalgia. Managed to find this on DVD years ago. I even found out the name of the street on which it was filmed. Someone has squeezed a house in where his garage was!!
Thanks for letting us know the street. I was looking around Bucks Horn Oak where the petrol station is. I had no idea the house was nowhere near it and actually in Farnborough! It would have taken him over 3 hours to push that chassis to the garage in real life! Btw, it seems the house has now been replaced by a new build. I only found which one it was by recognising the houses opposite on street view. Edit: no wait it's still there. Its just the land that the garage is now where a new build stands. Presumably the land was sold off at some point.
@@automat3000 Yes, clearly the property owner decided to sell off most of the garden including the bit where the garage stood. Bit of a shame in my opinion as the house added isn't really in keeping with the rest of the street which is largely unchanged. I note that sadly, the young lady he was trying to impress (Caroline Mortimer) passed away in 2020.
As near as I can tell from Google maps, the address is 26 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough, UK. The set back tan colored house between the red brick house and the white one. Compare time index 05:20 (view across the street), with Google Street View across the street from this address. The houses across the street look essentially the same to me. Edit: The house (two houses down the street) at 05:35 is 30 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough. From Google Street View you can see the distinctive roof and same color (of course) bricks. The hedge the little girl is hiding in, is still there. Although needs a trimming now, lol. Or at least when the Google car went by the last few times. That would be 28 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough. Hope this helps.
Absolutely wonderful!!! So many memories of how Britain was in the latter half of the 20th century. Post war Britain, you couldn’t just go to a store to buy the materials to make anything as everything was still in relatively short supply and expensive. The attendant service petrol stations, the rag and bone man with his horse drawn cart and the lovely cheeky little girl from next door spying over the hedge and also remembering to do her kerb drills later to become the Green Cross ❎ code. Wonderful how Britain was and how it’s changed and how so busy everything is.
The BBC used it as one of their demo films to show the 'magic' of colour television, it was probably shown once a week in the afternoon in the 60s/early 70s.
There are so many social lessons in this charming and entertaining little film, a nice reminder to all of us to treat people with respect and to follow your dreams through...don't give up!
I remember when I was just 12 years old, My older Brother Mark purchased a little sports car that was just about ready for the scrap heap. It even had several large rust holes in it. But He patched up the rust holes and managed to actually completely restore the thing!!! He purchased the car for significantly less than 100 dollars and sold it for over 12 thousand dollars. This was back in the 1970's.
Not so much my childhood, but when I was in highschool my father gave me an Austin Healey that this film made me remember. Man that was a proper sports car and a fine automobile. I was already mechanically inclined and into auto mechanics, but that little car had an engine that was so well engineered that it was a pleasure to work on. Whenever tuned properly it made the most satisfying sound. That was nearly 40 years ago and I remember it so fondly.
@@Comfortzone99 And I am pleased to say I am still playing in the broken glass and oil and breathing paint fumes etc. And driving cars without seat belts and feeling great!
absolutely charming. thanks for taking the time to upload it. i bet nobody involved even thought for a minute they were creating a portal to a different world for people on their phones in 60 years.
As near as I can tell from Google maps, the address is approximately 26 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough, UK. The set back tan colored house between the red brick house and the white one. Is that right?
Gee wouldn’t pay to get that friendly with the kid next door now days or he be off to jail. I learnt so much about cars when I was a kid by being nosey when I saw someone fixing one. Nothing bad ever happened…. Sad world we live in now.
Interesting. I was friendly with a neighbor's kid. I eventually gave him an old camera, camera bag and a tripod. The family seemed nice when I eventually met them. I wasn't afraid at all if it would come back to haunt me later, maybe with the kid saying something weird like "He flirted with me!" Wouldn't pay? Well, it pays to be nice, it pays to be honestly friendly, and it pays to think that children are a blessing, not a curse. Seeing that kid happy after he got that old camera I wasn't using anymore made me want to feel less grumbly, groany and gripey. And I didn't fret it would haunt or harm me in the least.
same here, had a handy neirbor down the street, highly educated black man, and I would ride my bike all the time so I would often catch him working on his old car. I learned a lot and got my first car at 14yo .
It's minds like yours that have made things so bad. I'm old enough to remember when minds like yours started actively encouraging people to see (potential) evil in everyone. Shades of Nazi Germany, China under Mao, Kampuchia under Pol Pot, etc. Evil is as evil thinks.
How many times did I watch that film when I was a radio and TV engineer repairing TV ,s on the bench. I still have a copy of it somewhere. Great to watch again and thank you for posting it in such good quality.
Did you notice that this short film has just reminded me of the NITROME online computer video game called Help Out Good Old Rusty Yard? I'm not kidding you. It really did. 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 😄 🎥
It wasn't happier. People were bloody miserable, you had families of six crammed into two bedroom terraces with no bathroom or indoor toilet. There was plenty of alcoholism and wife battering to spare.
like lots on here seen this many times when I was a kid. Along with lots of other tt test trans on early bbc2 this one being my fav. It also brings back the memories of my grandads Healey 3000. Thanks for putting it on.
This film was made 16 years before I was born and I appreciate every second of it. The simplicity, the human decency, the subtle comedy, all without uttering a word. What an anti-depressant! And I only just stumbled on to this! 😆 Cheers from Nova Scotia! 😄
What a lovely film. I used to enjoy watching the trade test transmissions as you never knew what you were going to get and it could show you things you didn't realise could be interesting. I remember one was an assistant in a posh menswear department demonstrating how to serve, and he showed how to interest a customer in a suit - he said something like "You pick it up by the hanger like this, and talk about it's attributes while you draw your hand down the suit like this (does so in a sweeping gesture), and the customers eyes will follow your hand so they take in the whole suit." My plan at that young age was to be either a spaceman or a dustbin man, but in the end I worked for 33 years in menswear, and used that trick many a time!
That's hilarious (your decision as a boy to be either a spaceman or a dustbin man). The things we think are glamorous when we are young. I personally thought I'd be a hermit in a cave or a detective. I was a big fan of the Hardy Boy books. Now I drive a truck, and essentially am a hermit in my truck, and "detect" sometimes hard to find places on GPS to deliver my freight to. Go figure. 😂
I remember this from BBC2 in the 70's as part of something they called "Trade Test Transmissions" - showed off the Colour TVs in the shop windows better than the testcard. There was another one about where pigments used in paintings came from, also produced by BP, I believe.
my late father owned a Rover 90 and when he had difficultly started it ,he used the starting handle it works every time and the same Rovers was still being produced till about 1963
@@Comfortzone99 I didn’t know that , me mum’s no longer with us so I can’t ask if she remembers having it with hers I never saw it. I did like playing with it and swapping those course threaded pipe connectors from suck end to the blow end of the cleaner motor body. Happy Days 👨🏻🔧
I remember this so well - I even remembered the colour he sprayed the car before watching it again.... this is the first time I've seen it since the 1960s. I just suddenly wondered if any of the old BBC2 trade test films were on TH-cam but this is the one I was really looking for.
There are a few more of them on here One I liked was Cattle Carters, I found that and another I liked a lot and found is Ride the White Horses, a few more as well
@@FMFGUF We had one of those It came with a glass jar and spray just like this. there was a suck/blow selector if I remember right. The spray was never used but the blow setting was Today people would use it as a leaf blower LOL.
Oh my goodness. I haven’t seen this since I was a young boy. ( I’m 66 now). I used to watch it on my Grandma’s black and white tv . I think it was a BBC 2 test transmission at the time .
The Aussie Ron Grainer's music for this is a far cry from his Dr. Who theme, but makes a tribute to the theme music for Steptoe & Son, which he also wrote.
I've tried to find this in past years, as this was shown on BBC2 when it was just starting up. It was shown over and over along with another short film which may have been based in France.
This movie brings back so many memories for me. I used to borrow this almost every week from the local library and watch it over and over again. It would be at least 30 years since I last saw it, and yet I remembered every part of it. I cant wait to show my kids this movie. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Saw this a few years back and watched it again today. This was mostly filmed in Farnborough Hampshire and interestingly if you use google maps you will see the houses on that street where the car is built are still there with many of the same features, bushes etc (Cambridge Road W Farnborough). Sadly the garage that the car was built in has been replaced with a house. The BP garage is now a Jet garage and is located in Bucks Horn Oak Farnham. More trivia: the sports car driver and the young lady were both born in 1942 and sadly they coincidently both died in 2020.
Did my first spray job on my Herald with one of those hoover powered guns, bit like using a hosepipe but it was better than nothing and set me up for many happy tinkering hours in sheds.
I'm watching this as I'm most of the way through jacking and hammering my car's crunched-in-trunk back into shape. When I finally put a new bumper beam on it and put the plastic skin back on, most of the remaining imperfection will be covered up and it will pass inspection. The insurance company of the kid who hit it has already paid me for most of its value, so I had some sense of accomplishment. Now, looking a this guy build a car from scratch in his driveway, none of that seems so impressive. We all have to base our ambitions on what's possible, I guess. PS: So, was there really a time when guys in England put on a business suit to pump gas? They always dressed better than we did, but what would the drycleaners think?
I remember watching the Trade Test Colour films when I got home from school. This, It's the Tube that makes the Colour (the white is Illuminant C, which is difficult to show on film), On the Safe SIDE (Switch Off, Isolate, Dump, Earth) and the building of the Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool. Probably a few more I've forgotten :-)
My dad saw this little film when he was twelve years old and this is were he got the interest and love of restoring old cars, he said life and every think was So much better, he watch this film several times when he found it he is now Sixty six, great days!
What an utter Joy to see this.. the little girl is great.. the entire piece is great, a real Jewel. Reminds me a lot of another priceless gem: "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" and the music and mechanical nature of things here is making me think of, "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins.. Clarinet and Harp passages with strings are memorable. Noble animal is so patient. Love the Morris Garages runabout convertible... curb weight was so light motorcycle size tyres were fitted.
That is a breath of fresh air. So calm, full of effort and just so incredibly nice. Just a warm nice. Man, I'm only 33 but if I were any older, I would be depressed by seeing how life is now
This video just showed up in my mix out of no where and what a treat to watch it was. Across the pond in Cali, I built a 1934 Ford three window coupe with a rumble seat from the ground up as well back in the nineties. It was a great experience!
I remember this film - they used to show it on BBC2 when there were no programs scheduled (it was a long time ago). I have tried to find it before so it's a nice surprise to have it pop up.
The garage (and the hedge) where the car is re-built was demolished and infilled but you can see the site here: www.google.com/maps/@51.2813163,-0.7517397,3a,37.5y,28.29h,89.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1snC9tS-J3s_3TcW8APjkQcA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I restored classic cars as a career for over 40 years. Built a ton of old British cars, E types, Austin Healey's 100-4 and the big sixes. Also, the first MG in the USA too. 1931 MGM. Bunch of later muscle cars and early pre war, even pre WW1 . I just retired from my job last month. The 1932 Packard shovel nose we just finished is at Pebble Beach this year, Its doing the tour from Washington state down. Look it up, its black with dark red interior. Looks like a hotrod but is all factory. 900 series. My last vehicle as a professional will be a 1966 Ford Gt 40 Mark 1, #1053. I'm going to finish the wiring and assembly when I go back down to Texas in 2 weeks. I've done 2 other GT 40's, #1038 and 1062. That will be all for me as a restoration mechanic.

I'd kill for an empty table; in our house a flat surface is a full surface!
Just happened apon this wonderful blast from the past! What a great little movie! I am an eighty-year-young South African boy who lives in beautiful Pinelands, Cape Town. When I was in my early teens our neigbour gave me his old Austin 7 as long as I removed it from his garage. Dad was the branch manager of Robb Motors in Rondebosch, and as the main BMC agent in South Africa, he had access to much knowlege and spares. Dad suggested that we strip the car and rebuild the engine and chassis. My metalwork teacher was a vintage car rebuilder (he had a beautiful Austin Ulster special) and he gave me numerous bits and pieces which I used when rebuilding my very first car - not to mention much sage advice! We did the engine rebuild and cleaned and polished the inlet manifold and brass updraught carburettor. We got her running beautifully, put on a temporary seat for the driver, and used to drive her up and down our runway, reversing, changing gears, and having a helluva lot of fun! Sadly we could not afford the bodywork, and it was with a broken heart that I had to sell my car to another enthusiast in Claremont, who had the money to complete the build. What wonderful memories! I am still passionate about cars, motorcycles and planes, in fact - anything woth a petrol engine!
My dad was a Chevrolet dealer in the 50's-60's, he had MG's, Austin Healey convertibles, to bad I wasn't around yet as I was the youngest, he also took home program cars for Chevy like the '55, '56, '57, even Stingrays, but he got out of that business when I came along, I was the only one with that passion while my 2 older brothers didn't care for that.
A was looking everywhere for this bit of history t.v loved this and the music
I preferred the petrol station as it was in 1963. So charming!
Assisted service!
Prices were better too.
@@doOf3r Five bob a gallon - what a bargain!!
@@doOf3r Dad's car used regular, but we used to try to talk him into putting premium in as we thought it would make the car go faster! 😄
@@BackToTheBlues we never had a car just push bikes 🚳 my brother bought the first in 1974 a 1959 Austin A40 , then I bought one in 1976 for £15 and old Bedford ca van Happy times with family.. still got my brother to argue with.
I worked as a dialogue coach on this film. One of my finest efforts. Can't understand why I didn't pick up an award for it.
I saw what you did there
Way too much conversation if you ask me
Well it's a nice short film but why is no one actually talking during the entire movie?
Awards go to the actors.
😂
What a gem. I wish life was still so simple.
Superb. The filling station where the Bullnose had its chassis and tracking done is still there, but the forecourt has grown a bit and the Post Office opposite has disappeared completely. Now to find the Shell film about the Kariba dam.....
I love England/Britain I love all of their programs. Best of all I love the people and the history of England . I live in the United States and I would trade the United States for England any day. Long live the queen God bless all of you stay safe❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇🌷🌷🌷

Wow, I haven't seen this for over 55 years.
I think it was shown on BBC2 in the late 60's, but we only had a 405 line TV with two channels, so I didn't see this little gem till my dad upgraded to 625 line and we could get all three available channels.
Ahhhh , those were the days.
Happy times, looked so quiet and peaceful.
Not much immigration.
I'm not sure why this film popped up in my suggestions, but I'm glad it did ! What a great little film from a much simpler time. Love it !
Great memories better than any blockbuster made today
This short little movie probably single-handedly got me interested in working on cars. Such great memories watching it and wishing that I could build something like that! I still dream of building a car every time I go by an old wrecking yard!
Scrap yard. You must be American old chap ( comment from England)
@@davids8449 Bingo. Even though it was in Singapore that I first saw the movie!
Thank you for your reply..... Glad you enjoyed the film.....
You don't see scrap yards like that anymore.@@davids8449
@@davids8449 In Australia we call the yards auto wreckers.
Filmed in Farnborough, Bucks Horn Oak Surrey and the final scenes in Seale off the A31
I lived round the corner in Alexandra Road at the time the film was made
Lovely film ....back when england wasnt as diverse
a touching film, this is how I started my adventure with motorcycles many decades ago. I remember how my mother, out of concern for me, made sure that "I hope it won't drive". Eventually the old Matchless started and even drove sometimes. Later there were many other motorcycles and this is still the case today. I still have the enthusiasm, I hope I have enough health.
I've seen this way back in the school days, when they had 16mm projectors. Just by seeing that dog in the opening credits, I knew this is the film, which is now on TH-cam!
Great little film, looks like the austin Healey is dead but the little morris is alive and well, love the way the garage proprietor has the old skills when needed, also it's Britain when i was a kid, before the madness, before all the 'imports', before rich city types bought the countryside and made it too expensive for the locals, can i go back please.
@gregsimons48 I'd love to return to these halcyon days too. Of all the films I have ever seen this is my favourite of all time. Absolutely wonderful and nostalgic.
Pure nostalgia. Managed to find this on DVD years ago. I even found out the name of the street on which it was filmed. Someone has squeezed a house in where his garage was!!
Cambridge Rd West?
@@1000Zebedee Yes. Different layout now though but you can see the main house.
Thanks for letting us know the street. I was looking around Bucks Horn Oak where the petrol station is. I had no idea the house was nowhere near it and actually in Farnborough! It would have taken him over 3 hours to push that chassis to the garage in real life!
Btw, it seems the house has now been replaced by a new build. I only found which one it was by recognising the houses opposite on street view.
Edit: no wait it's still there. Its just the land that the garage is now where a new build stands. Presumably the land was sold off at some point.
@@automat3000 Yes, clearly the property owner decided to sell off most of the garden including the bit where the garage stood. Bit of a shame in my opinion as the house added isn't really in keeping with the rest of the street which is largely unchanged. I note that sadly, the young lady he was trying to impress (Caroline Mortimer) passed away in 2020.
As near as I can tell from Google maps, the address is 26 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough, UK. The set back tan colored house between the red brick house and the white one.
Compare time index 05:20 (view across the street), with Google Street View across the street from this address. The houses across the street look essentially the same to me.
Edit: The house (two houses down the street) at 05:35 is 30 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough. From Google Street View you can see the distinctive roof and same color (of course) bricks.
The hedge the little girl is hiding in, is still there. Although needs a trimming now, lol. Or at least when the Google car went by the last few times. That would be 28 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough. Hope this helps.
Absolutely wonderful!!! So many memories of how Britain was in the latter half of the 20th century. Post war Britain, you couldn’t just go to a store to buy the materials to make anything as everything was still in relatively short supply and expensive. The attendant service petrol stations, the rag and bone man with his horse drawn cart and the lovely cheeky little girl from next door spying over the hedge and also remembering to do her kerb drills later to become the Green Cross ❎ code.
Wonderful how Britain was and how it’s changed and how so busy everything is.
@@buffplums I lived through that decade and I wish I could go back
I’ve never seen this before - reminds me of my granddad and I tinkering with his old car on a Sunday morning! What a lovely film!
The BBC used it as one of their demo films to show the 'magic' of colour television, it was probably shown once a week in the afternoon in the 60s/early 70s.
@@Comfortzone99 A 'Trade Test' transmission.. as they were known.
Wonderful seeing this again after 55 years. Thank you.
I love love love this beautiful short film. What a gem!!!
There are so many social lessons in this charming and entertaining little film, a nice reminder to all of us to treat people with respect and to follow your dreams through...don't give up!
How wonderful , I was born in 1959 and I wish I could go back to the magical times of the 60s 🤔
Born in 1959 also. Always wishing to go back to better times in the 60's and 70's
I remember this in the early 60s when I worked at Dynatron Radio's service department at Furze Platt Maidenhead. Great times.
My Mother used to work there as well!
I remember a Christmas Party I went there as a kid!
I remember when I was just 12 years old, My older Brother Mark purchased a little sports car that was just about ready for the scrap heap. It even had several large rust holes in it. But He patched up the rust holes and managed to actually completely restore the thing!!! He purchased the car for significantly less than 100 dollars and sold it for over 12 thousand dollars. This was back in the 1970's.
Not so much my childhood, but when I was in highschool my father gave me an Austin Healey that this film made me remember. Man that was a proper sports car and a fine automobile. I was already mechanically inclined and into auto mechanics, but that little car had an engine that was so well engineered that it was a pleasure to work on. Whenever tuned properly it made the most satisfying sound.
That was nearly 40 years ago and I remember it so fondly.
Just great! Remember when wrecking yards were good!
Great adventures in them when you were young, health and safety officers would faint in them today, all that oil, broken glass and ripped metal LOL.
@@Comfortzone99 And I am pleased to say I am still playing in the broken glass and oil and breathing paint fumes etc. And driving cars without seat belts and feeling great!
How beautiful England was then. Everything, even country side, seems so full and hectic now 😔
I have never forgotten this film. Watched it the first time when I was about 8 years old. 63 now. Wonderful to see it again. Thanks
absolutely charming. thanks for taking the time to upload it. i bet nobody involved even thought for a minute they were creating a portal to a different world for people on their phones in 60 years.
Me and my younger sister used to watch these when we got home from school in the 60s on our new colour TV. Happy memories.
For anyone wondering, that beautiful white car at the end is the Austin-Healey 3000 1959 - 1967
Yep, I remember when this was the only thing on Telly.. 🤔
This was filmed just round the corner from where I lived as a boy in Farnborough in Hampshire. I saw it once as a boy and for the second time today.
As near as I can tell from Google maps, the address is approximately 26 Cambridge Rd W, Farnborough, UK. The set back tan colored house between the red brick house and the white one. Is that right?
i used to watch these films over and over again on a saturday afternoon in between the testcards
a real blast from the past ,great to see it again
Me too!
Gee wouldn’t pay to get that friendly with the kid next door now days or he be off to jail. I learnt so much about cars when I was a kid by being nosey when I saw someone fixing one. Nothing bad ever happened…. Sad world we live in now.
nowaday the mother wouldve janked the kid intoo the house screaming about the perv next door trying to do things to her
But did you notice, he waited until he had a chaperone before offering to take her in the car .
Interesting. I was friendly with a neighbor's kid. I eventually gave him an old camera, camera bag and a tripod. The family seemed nice when I eventually met them. I wasn't afraid at all if it would come back to haunt me later, maybe with the kid saying something weird like "He flirted with me!" Wouldn't pay? Well, it pays to be nice, it pays to be honestly friendly, and it pays to think that children are a blessing, not a curse. Seeing that kid happy after he got that old camera I wasn't using anymore made me want to feel less grumbly, groany and gripey. And I didn't fret it would haunt or harm me in the least.
same here, had a handy neirbor down the street, highly educated black man, and I would ride my bike all the time so I would often catch him working on his old car. I learned a lot and got my first car at 14yo .
It's minds like yours that have made things so bad.
I'm old enough to remember when minds like yours started actively encouraging people to see (potential) evil in everyone.
Shades of Nazi Germany, China under Mao, Kampuchia under Pol Pot, etc.
Evil is as evil thinks.
How many times did I watch that film when I was a radio and TV engineer repairing TV ,s on the bench. I still have a copy of it somewhere. Great to watch again and thank you for posting it in such good quality.
When britain was a different, happier, simpler place than it is today.
Did you notice that this short film has just reminded me of the NITROME online computer video game called Help Out Good Old Rusty Yard? I'm not kidding you. It really did. 🎥 🎞 🎦 🎬 📽 😄 🎥
See any differences in it today ?,,,lol
It wasn't happier. People were bloody miserable, you had families of six crammed into two bedroom terraces with no bathroom or indoor toilet. There was plenty of alcoholism and wife battering to spare.
@@kyle8952 Sure but the crime and culture was still paradise compared to today.
@@kyle8952😂😂😂 they say this is Brazil to, but never nominate those people who really do it today.
Wow, look how few cars there were around in England in 1963
There were lots once you were on a main road. London was bad for traffic even back then.
like lots on here seen this many times when I was a kid. Along with lots of other tt test trans on early bbc2 this one being my fav. It also brings back the memories of my grandads Healey 3000. Thanks for putting it on.
This film was made 16 years before I was born and I appreciate every second of it. The simplicity, the human decency, the subtle comedy, all without uttering a word. What an anti-depressant! And I only just stumbled on to this! 😆 Cheers from Nova Scotia! 😄
What a lovely film. I used to enjoy watching the trade test transmissions as you never knew what you were going to get and it could show you things you didn't realise could be interesting.
I remember one was an assistant in a posh menswear department demonstrating how to serve, and he showed how to interest a customer in a suit - he said something like "You pick it up by the hanger like this, and talk about it's attributes while you draw your hand down the suit like this (does so in a sweeping gesture), and the customers eyes will follow your hand so they take in the whole suit."
My plan at that young age was to be either a spaceman or a dustbin man, but in the end I worked for 33 years in menswear, and used that trick many a time!
That's hilarious (your decision as a boy to be either a spaceman or a dustbin man). The things we think are glamorous when we are young. I personally thought I'd be a hermit in a cave or a detective. I was a big fan of the Hardy Boy books. Now I drive a truck, and essentially am a hermit in my truck, and "detect" sometimes hard to find places on GPS to deliver my freight to. Go figure. 😂
Now, ain't this the best little movie I ever saw ....
yes, possibly, but the music is ludicrous
@@michaelfraser5723 I think the music is perfect. Meanders through the film, as the poster says in the description.
perfect combo, I mean what did you want... Hendrix?😂@@michaelfraser5723
I remember this from BBC2 in the 70's as part of something they called "Trade Test Transmissions" - showed off the Colour TVs in the shop windows better than the testcard. There was another one about where pigments used in paintings came from, also produced by BP, I believe.
Thanks for posting this not seen it for a very long time and in colour we only had a black and white TV.
So did I M w
21:56 Uses the CORRECT technique for hand starting....never ever have the thumb folded over the crank handle, always have it folded out of the way.
my late father owned a Rover 90 and when he had difficultly started it ,he used the starting handle it works every time and the same Rovers was still being produced till about 1963
Otherwise you'd be turning the air very blue and a trip to A&E.
I still can’t find the damned starting crank handle for my Tesla! Grrrr!
@@philtucker1224Put a big hole in the floor and drive it like a Fred Flintstone car. 😂
My mum had that same model of hoover vacuum cleaner, never considered using the blower end to use as a paint sprayer
The Electrolux vac used to have a paint sprayer in the accessory kit, a few people wondered what it was and left it in the cupboard LOL
@@Comfortzone99 I didn’t know that , me mum’s no longer with us so I can’t ask if she remembers having it with hers I never saw it. I did like playing with it and swapping those course threaded pipe connectors from suck end to the blow end of the cleaner motor body. Happy Days 👨🏻🔧
I remember this so well - I even remembered the colour he sprayed the car before watching it again.... this is the first time I've seen it since the 1960s. I just suddenly wondered if any of the old BBC2 trade test films were on TH-cam but this is the one I was really looking for.
There are a few more of them on here One I liked was Cattle Carters, I found that and another I liked a lot and found is Ride the White Horses, a few more as well
@@cedarcam
I remember Ride The White Horses - I particularly remember the music.
@@SpideyVids Me too. Now after watching this another I found Algerian Pipeline is on Music on that always stuck in my mind
Certainly an interesting way of spraying it, using a Hoover on blow - all looked painfully slow, though!
@@FMFGUF We had one of those It came with a glass jar and spray just like this. there was a suck/blow selector if I remember right. The spray was never used but the blow setting was Today people would use it as a leaf blower LOL.
Oh my goodness. I haven’t seen this since I was a young boy. ( I’m 66 now). I used to watch it on my Grandma’s black and white tv . I think it was a BBC 2 test transmission at the time .
The Aussie Ron Grainer's music for this is a far cry from his Dr. Who theme, but makes a tribute to the theme music for Steptoe & Son, which he also wrote.
I've tried to find this in past years, as this was shown on BBC2 when it was just starting up.
It was shown over and over along with another short film which may have been based in France.
What a wonderful little movie. Thanks for sharing.
God bless
What an innocent brilliant film with beautiful music.
This movie brings back so many memories for me. I used to borrow this almost every week from the local library and watch it over and over again. It would be at least 30 years since I last saw it, and yet I remembered every part of it. I cant wait to show my kids this movie. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Saw this a few years back and watched it again today. This was mostly filmed in Farnborough Hampshire and interestingly if you use google maps you will see the houses on that street where the car is built are still there with many of the same features, bushes etc (Cambridge Road W Farnborough). Sadly the garage that the car was built in has been replaced with a house. The BP garage is now a Jet garage and is located in Bucks Horn Oak Farnham. More trivia: the sports car driver and the young lady were both born in 1942 and sadly they coincidently both died in 2020.
Fun little adventure.
Did my first spray job on my Herald with one of those hoover powered guns, bit like using a hosepipe but it was better than nothing and set me up for many happy tinkering hours in sheds.
Superb, a great little gem, well worth 30 minutes of your time. Thanks for uploading.
That's a really sweet story, and all told without words! I had never heard of this film before.
I'm watching this as I'm most of the way through jacking and hammering my car's crunched-in-trunk back into shape. When I finally put a new bumper beam on it and put the plastic skin back on, most of the remaining imperfection will be covered up and it will pass inspection. The insurance company of the kid who hit it has already paid me for most of its value, so I had some sense of accomplishment. Now, looking a this guy build a car from scratch in his driveway, none of that seems so impressive. We all have to base our ambitions on what's possible, I guess.
PS: So, was there really a time when guys in England put on a business suit to pump gas? They always dressed better than we did, but what would the drycleaners think?
I remember watching the Trade Test Colour films when I got home from school. This, It's the Tube that makes the Colour (the white is Illuminant C, which is difficult to show on film), On the Safe SIDE (Switch Off, Isolate, Dump, Earth) and the building of the Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool. Probably a few more I've forgotten :-)
My dad saw this little film when he was twelve years old and this is were he
got the interest and love of restoring old cars, he said life and every think was
So much better, he watch this film several times when he found it he is now
Sixty six, great days!
I was 13 when my mom took me to see The Cannonball Run ! ,,,HaHa
And it's still on the road today .... It's a 1923 Morris 1465cc engine
There's something so effortlessly quirky and cool about certain types of 60s films--this is one of them. What a treat.
What an utter Joy to see this.. the little girl is great.. the entire piece is great, a real Jewel. Reminds me a lot of another priceless gem: "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" and the music and mechanical nature of things here is making me think of, "The World's Fastest Indian" with Anthony Hopkins.. Clarinet and Harp passages with strings are memorable. Noble animal is so patient. Love the Morris Garages runabout convertible... curb weight was so light motorcycle size tyres were fitted.
That is a breath of fresh air. So calm, full of effort and just so incredibly nice. Just a warm nice. Man, I'm only 33 but if I were any older, I would be depressed by seeing how life is now
This video just showed up in my mix out of no where and what a treat to watch it was. Across the pond in Cali, I built a 1934 Ford three window coupe with a rumble seat from the ground up as well back in the nineties. It was a great experience!
I remember this film - they used to show it on BBC2 when there were no programs scheduled (it was a long time ago). I have tried to find it before so it's a nice surprise to have it pop up.
Aah! Back in the day when abandoned vehicles and scrap were free.
Thanks for sharing. This was my Dad’s favourite film. Inspired him to restore many Model T Fords during the 80s.
The garage (and the hedge) where the car is re-built was demolished and infilled but you can see the site here: www.google.com/maps/@51.2813163,-0.7517397,3a,37.5y,28.29h,89.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1snC9tS-J3s_3TcW8APjkQcA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I restored classic cars as a career for over 40 years. Built a ton of old British cars, E types, Austin Healey's 100-4 and the big sixes. Also, the first MG in the USA too. 1931 MGM. Bunch of later muscle cars and early pre war, even pre WW1 . I just retired from my job last month. The 1932 Packard shovel nose we just finished is at Pebble Beach this year, Its doing the tour from Washington state down. Look it up, its black with dark red interior. Looks like a hotrod but is all factory. 900 series. My last vehicle as a professional will be a 1966 Ford Gt 40 Mark 1, #1053. I'm going to finish the wiring and assembly when I go back down to Texas in 2 weeks. I've done 2 other GT 40's, #1038 and 1062. That will be all for me as a restoration mechanic. Now I get to work on MY CARS!! Finally. 1969 Dodge Charger and 1980 Corvette.
Gonna build yourself a Duke boys "General Lee", eh! Good choice. Those are great looking cars. 😊👍
@@DUCKDUCKGOISMUCHBETTER No, my Charger has been done and on the road for 15 years. Its Lime Lite Green. I was too old for Dukes when it was popular and on TV.

Notice the absence of a million road signs.
What a charming film. The casting and acting in particular were very good Thanks.
God, This present world sucks...., The world was much better and happier then.
That was the most enjoyable thing I've seen in a long time
It’s hard to imagine a side street these days with virtually no cars parked along its length.
Ron Grainer's arrangement is wonderful and the editing is perfection- I am another "watched it after school " member club in the cold Scottish winter evenings snacking on crackers and a glass of milk. I marvel at how a film about a car being built can make you feel like the world is a better place.......
Good little film, really enjoyed it.
