- 29 years ago the Science Museum was looking to remodel its domestic appliances gallery. They called on the genius that is British inventor Tim Hunkin, fresh from his success with the secret life of machines television programme which is Jeff's favourite ever TV show.
Together with museum staff he put together the Secret Life of the Home gallery which has lasted 29 years.
Sadly on the 2nd of june the gallery will close its doors for the last time so I took my cameras for one last look.
Thanks Tim
This display is a catalogue of all our lives. I also remember getting my fist Walkman, what a revelation that was to create a soundtrack of our lives as we walked through town. You are I have lived through the transition from analogue to digital. What interesting times!
Do you remember what your first tape and or disc was andrew?.......... When I got a walkman cassette, it was Doobie Brothers ----minute by minute.
When I got a discman, it was Billy Joel--- 52nd Street.😊
@@thinking-as-I-wander Yes, I do. It was a CD of Brian Eno's ambient music. Felt like I was floating in a dream!
Absolutely agree
Another interesting video Gabriel changing time’s brother which leaves a path of nostalgia for us older followers of the channel The first tv we had in the early 50s was a 9inch Marconi it was relatively uncommon for a working class family to have a tv at that time I remember those days of just one channel BBC How things have changed
My mum and Dad dint own a TV until I was in my teens. They used to rent them from company called DER
@@GlastonburyGabriel I think initially there was no rental sets (early 50s) of course later on Radio Rentals became very popular and probably more people rented rather than bought
Finally managed to watch all of the video. Sad to have missed this exhibition.. Shows how much I've visited the smoke over the years. Good to see many of the exhibits will still be able to be seen, even if one has to travel to Swindon. A most enjoyable video, Gabe. Thanks for recording it before it's too late.
It was a truly fascinating exhibit I am glad I was able to see and film it
I didn't know anything about this!
Super interesting, as I used to have a hifi seperates system in the early 1970s.
I used to work on radar systems when I was in the RAF in the early 1980s so magentrons and klystrons were familar - one of them had been repurposed by GEC from a klystron that was used on the trams in Glasgow as part of its power supply.
I had never heard of Tim Hunkin(?) - I have never really watched TV at all (I am more of a radio person) so lots of things like this have passed me by.
Shame that this is closing before I got the chance to see it, but interesting that this is moving to nearer to where I live into Swindon somewhere, from London town. There is a museum of computing in Swindon which is supposed to be really good - must do that one sometime!
Thank you for another great video Gabe - those Berry Coaches look super!
Cheers!
Paul
It was a great exhibition
