Uploading material, primarily from terrestrial UK television (BBC 1 and 2, ITV and regional pre-decessors, Channel 4 and 5), captured from VHS tapes.
The material uploaded will be exclusively non-commercial, for example live broadcasts and television continuity. I will have investigated each upload to ensure that the material has never been commercially released, or the copyright exploited in any other way. In some cases, it may not be that a record of the material is held anywhere, not even by the original broadcaster.
By this, I hope to contribute to the effort to preserve media from days gone by.
The BBC's Genome project, which archives old TV listings, is an invaluable resource for anyone doing this sort of stuff. Have a browse here: genome.ch.bbc.co.uk
What the fudge! I thought the F word was the most offensive word. BTW, I'm here because of the C word - a word that pops out of Frankie Boyle's mouth once every three words he speaks. I found it interesting that he uses it all the time and it doesn't seem to have that much of an impact ... oh, and applies it to both men and women. I found out that in Scotland the word has a different and less offensive meaning.
I have a friend who originally comes from the north of England and though he's been in the US for many years who uses cunt liberally for men and women but it's a term of endearment. He does restrain it to private conversation. Funny and charming fellow.
she is so beautiful! I would see this interview 1000 times!! she is so polite, a relaxing interview ... rest in peace Princess Margaret, now I believe you will be together with your father and together with all Your family!❤️❤️❤️🌹👸
Yes, a princess, child of a monarch, but just look at her face when discussing the King.....quite simply a daughter who adored her father! Lovely! This is my all-time favourite discussion with HRH The Princess Margaret.
I take it this was the inspiration for that one Energizer commercial where their pink Bunny mascot also goes through numerous trashed drums because of the improved power of his batteries.
It's a strange association maybe, but I always think of Anne Frank when I see princess Margaret. They looked so much alike (when she was younger of course).
One of the major issues public personalities face, and let’s be upfront about this, is that millions of people feel that they know these people. Because of this, they have to develop strategies that will provide protection. This is also a problem of physical security. They live in a world of constant threat. I once viewed an interview with Pricilla Presley where she explained above Elvis Presley’s seemingly odd behavior. Elvis, because of his fame, could not go out in public without attracting a mob of fans, so he would rent a bowling alley for the evening and take his entourage out for an evening. We forget how famous P.M. was and in what intense, public scrutiny she was destined to live her life. Imagine every aspect of one’s life lived under a microscope. Imagine wondering every minute what friend, foe, ex-lover, or family member was going to betray you for thirty talents of silver to the voracious, British press. I could not live that way; very few of us could. It is not a life I would choose. Princess Margaret had no choice; she was born into a public life with no way of escape. Her Royal facade was her shield. Behind that shield was a vulnerable woman who did the best she could. I wish she had been interviewed many more times. I found this interview delightful. I wanted to protect her. In fact, I think I’m a little bit in love with her. Rest In Peace. You made the world a better place.
It's the best comment i have ever read about this lovely, brave woman....this interview reveals the truth for her character.... unfortunately Princess Margaret was misunderstood mainly because of the British press.
PM only had seven years to live. Her addiction to tobacco, as was with her father, lessened her life by thirty years. Her last years are in such a contrast to her mother and sister.
This was really wonderful to see. The usual descriptions of Margaret just go on and on about her being spoiled and rude. She had lots of friends and loyal companions so you know she must have been charming and fun at some point. Her children are both very lovely, decent people so she obviously did some things right.
Very good interview. I think Margaret had a reputation of being entitled and snobbish, but it certainly didn't prove true here. Very warm and engaging.
She was a narcissist. She thought she was all that and a bag of chips. She was racist too. And loved toying with men. People think she was this amazing person because of how the crown portrays her. She did love her family but cared about being rich and her royal title. She was not a good person. People these days think she’s amazing because of her looks. Don’t get me wrong she was stunning on the outside but ugly in the inside. She wasn’t a good person. Very spoiled.
It's been said that she was tougher and perhaps more intelligent than the Queen. Had Margaret been sovereign, I don't think she'd have let politicians shove her around so much.
The Royals have a one problem Iff some one New came to there familly, and start New Era & became a popular moustlly them they, its start a born on Them a kind of jealousy, and a fight for popularity. But They dont realize that the times change, and everything going on to the future, that's the nature od the human being. All this RulesBook its not for maintenance of Monarhii, but for the outsiders Who gonna go in to the Royals. That what they do with "Diana" She start be a much more popular even the Queen, and her son future King, but they were stupid enough and self-centered enough that instead of helping her and bringing Monarhia into a new Era, maintaining the status of adored by their own people, they preferred to push her out of the candlestick by their irrational selfishness and narcissistic attitude and snobbery that Has allways accompanied the Windsor's from the beginning of Their Reign. Sorry British, and Majesty The Queen!. But that's the trouth
Well she was known to be "rude" but she doesnt seem like it in any of her speeches or interviews....it makes you question if her image was purposely tainted with lies.
she used to also go to bible study there is so much I think was written about her that were lies purposefully set down to destroy her reputation. And she even said she had been misrepresented and misreported since she was 14. In a letter she said she never had anyone to stick up for her. She asked she be buried with her father. I believe bc she thought he was the only one who truly cared for her and protected her.
she also said it herself: "we are two sisters, a good one (the queen) and a bad one or me" I think she is a very Gentile woman and a woman who has suffered a lot after surely her father's death and not marrying Peter.
