This has become the channel I put longer clips of tv. I also include sports clips. There is quite a bit of Grandstand, usually Snooker. The Ice Skating and Out of Town clips are the most popular and if I can find any more of these I will add them. There are a number of smaller historical clips that I hope people find interesting.

Fun fact for those not from the area. If you follow the line of Stone Street from Petham towards Canterbury, it follows the line of Iffin Lane and would have originally met Wincheap by the castle. So, it doesn't actually "start south west of Canterbury", it would originally have started by the original city wall.
If the show was continuing some time in the last decade, I would be on it when my school taxi had an accident and slid off into a deep snowbank in December 2010!. From Joe. X
I watched this for the nostalgia, and just came away with a real sense of despair, because I can guarantee you this sort of altruistic behaviour from strangers would definitely not happen today. That bus driver who drove the guy to the hospital? Nowadays, you'd get people saying, "Not my problem, mate. I'm going to be late on my schedule if I do that. Probably get in trouble with the bus company." He drove him right to the hospital and the ambulance crews were there instantly with a stretcher. Nowadays? That'd take about two hours, because of the Tory cuts to the NHS meaning they're stretched to the absolute limit.
Thank-you for the upload. I really enjoyed that. Especially as he talks of the Egyptians system being less advanced to the Babylonian's... I once taught myself the Egyptian method for basic mathematics and found it to be very 'comfortable' - it felt different... perhaps more connected to the world around us (i.e. measurement lengths)... this was some time ago though ;-)
cool - glad you like the video. I have some others for AM289 but didn't get round to uploading them. I watched these videos and found them very interesting and they don't seem to be in circulation for a while.
The video I uploaded today got my attention where the first speaker says "Maths presents a body of alternatives" - *edit* its Morris Kline - I didn't realise that at first.
Well spotted JV. Blimey, this was before screen technology came in to give a helping hand. No wonder Tony was furious. At least JP didn't win that year's tournament.
Being trapped underwater in a cave in the dark is my worst nightmare! That boy aged 11 must have been so scared - I almost couldn't watch it, even though I knew it had a happy ending 😮.
I thought the beginning with the women talking about Buckingham palace and lunch was part of the show, i was waiting for her to say she suddenly collapsed or something.
Might be a bit of an odd thing to say but i love the background music in the hypothermia first aid part of this episode, does anyone know if there's somewhere you can listen to it in full? Find it really peaceful and calming ahaha
