Over the years i have built up a lot of film footage from local Rye residents, many from the old Rye Movie Society. The likes of David Smeed & Peter Spencer are just a couple of the many contributors. This channel has been made to keep their work and memories going for years to come. Just sit back and enjoy their passion, "like" the films and please SUBSCRIBE to the channel as this will enable me to keep it going for as long as possible. Many thanks.
TOTAL RUBBISH! I can't think why they bothered. It is not a patch on the 1980s series. The acting is feeble and ridiculous. The feeble actors of today are not a patch on the old ones and hardly any of them can do 1930s accents. This looks like an American amateur production.
You could feel the presence of God and the lord Jesus Christ at her majesty the Queens coronation, our dear queen Elizabeth has gone on to be with god and our dear lord Jesus Christ in heaven. She will live forever in our hearts forever ❤.
If ever a series did not need to be redone, it was this one. When Geraldine McEwan, Prunella Scales and Nigel Hawthorne do something, you just bow down in awe, and definitely don't try to one up it.
I have arrived here after enjoying a Jeeves and Wooster episode on another channel . Brilliant . And i also like the Mapp and Lucia stories . Occasionally i am listening to Cold comfort farm as a radio play . I have come to this conclusion , that England in the 1920s and 30s , went through a golden period of well written comedy and total daftness .
Between the wars English young people were less hemmed in by stuffy traditions and had a lot of new modern conveniences. They could zoom around in cars and leave the confines of their villages without horses. I think the horrors of WW I left a zany crack in the old English humor. P.G. Wodehouse is definitely the best known writer from the era who made upper class eccentricities the most humorous features of interest in his characters. Spode, for example. That guy!
I was just going to post that! Been a fan since Blackadder. When Miranda does a comedic character she spares no personal indignity to herself. Such a trouper! Thing is, she's always so believable in every role. From the Crying Game on. Surprised that she isn't a Dame yet. She's one of the UK's theatrical treasures. Tell old Charlie to get crackin'.
Hello, my name is Philip and I had a great uncle who came from England. His name was William Philip Gullivan; we all just called him Phil. He was born in 1910. He joined the Royal Guard at the age of 20 and served until he was 73. So he was there at the coronation of King 👑 George VI and of course also at the coronation of Elizabeth II the Great. He always said before he died in 2020 at the proud age of 110 that the current King 👑 Charles III would only be a transitional king and would either pass the throne on to his son William by abdicating or he would die early and then the throne would go to William anyway. My great uncle likes the family. He also had a good relationship with the current king's grandmother, Queen Mother Elizabeth. He was honored in 2016 at Kensington Palace for his services to his country, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I was there and the event was really good. There was good food and beautiful music. I was very happy to be there, because when do you get to go into a palace like that? Most of the time, not at all. That was the best experience I had with my great uncle. May he rest in peace, just like the great Queen 👑 Elizabeth II.
For all the Geraldine McEwan fans, don't forget her series Mulberry. It was brilliant though, unfortunately, short-lived as was Mapp & Lucia. I rarely see anyone mention it. Definitely worth watching if you can find it.
This is brilliant as is the first version of these magnificent stories by E.F. Benson. "We love books by E.F. Benson". I think that Steve Pemberton is incredibly talented. Are we not fortunate that these wonderful stories have been retold in such a glorious manner by both casts? I think that they have been beautifully illustrated. "Maybe one day" I will visit Rye to see for myself the scenes evoked by the first version, but for now I am grateful that I can see them in my minds eye as I read the books and also in this version here.
I can’t tell when this documentary was taken but it seemed quite a few years since Mapp and Lucia. What a great classic! And so is this place it seems!
I am not British, but Queen Elizabeth the second was the only monarch i grew up knowing, as a child in the 70s and as a teen in the 80s, i knew about the royal family etc. The Queen brings out the British in me🇬🇧
Good old Jimper. New the family well on beach road. I bought my first motorbike of Hugh. Used to go hay making etc. I lived up in the town Winchelsea 🧙♂on the hill.
