I love the musical number at the end of each one.
Whish BBC didn't always fade out to announcer with too much to say for himself.
I envy you having this collection. You are sitting on a fortune. Wrap em' in cotton wool.
Grand morning isn't it.

Five hundredweight (old imperial measure), it would be written 5 cwt.
One hundredweight (1 cwt ) = 112 lb; 5 cwt = 560 lb = quarter of a ton.
