Great to see the bell-ringers in action. I like the use of the old footage at the very start or the video - so much nicer than what replaced it about 10 years ago! For a suggestion, why not drop in some captions to interpret the key features seen in the skyline view from the top of the tower? You could always consider including a plug to our peregrine webcams or blog at the end. Just Google 'Derby Peregrines' for the urls.
@simonbellringer The 10 are lovely, the front six not so, but we had no choice; not enough bodies! The background is all 10, so they are included and sound excellent (though the second still doesn't sound quite right and never has done). The C# thing is quite interesting... must be a popular note back then!
When you were ringing the front 6 at about 2:48, the second showed up badly, it sounded awful!! They are lovely as a 10 judging by this though, and why is it the older tenors which are the lightest tenors to strike C#? There is Purton's 1720s tenor at 20cwt (though it was originally more like 25cwt in all fairness!!) Tring's 18cwt Tenor from 1695, and this Tenor from 1520 in C#!!
they need to ring rounds on the back 6 longer from when they start and progress rounds a little longer then going from rounds early in to change rinning and they should use the tenor the proper tenor bell 10
beautiful

These are a nice sounding 10!! Sound a lot heavier than 19cwt!!

@8spliced Could have rung the back 6!! They would sound lovely!! AND we wouldn't have to listen to that dodgy 2nd...
Oldest ring of 10 bells in the world.
It's a correction. The way your blurb reads is that Derby Cathedral has the oldest ring of bells in the world, which is not really true...
