Hi Tom, I’m trying to find another film that I’m sure is related to this. I’m sure a young woman in this film is in another Cmas film. I’ll get back to you soon.
Fascinating, loving the Carry on Film music😊. Being a classic car buff I would say the earliest are mid 60s with a fair amount later 60s as there were a couple of Vauxhall Victor FD series which came out in 1967. The part near the end I would say early to late 70s, there were Mk3 Ford Cortinas and Austin Maxis in it. I really hope this finds it's family.
Unfortunate common event when weird uncle Ebert finally croaks and they throw out all his sh** without even looking through it, and valuable information is lost.
It's implied in the show that he killed them. Never seen on-screen though. People say they remember seeing him shoot them. Checked US and UK dvds and it's not there. Maybe it was in the original broadcast but removed for home release. Who knows, might be the Mandela effect lol
Rolls Royce PKS 969 registration at 42m:49s is registered at Roxburgh in Scotland between February and September 1963 - likely closer to September as it is a late number. This does not mean the wedding was filmed in Scotland as the car simply originated there, but it means the wedding is after those dates. At 57m:56s the same wedding appears showing a car with a yellow rear numberplate. These were only legal to display in the UK from 1968 and did not become compulsory on new vehicles until later, so this further dates the wedding.
Unfortunately i've no idea. OFAH is a hard show to upscale due to the differing quality. Especially in the early years when it was more noticeable whenever they switched to the film cameras for outdoor shoots. I've only done this clip, and it's far from perfect. I wish you good luck in your search!
I absolutely love this series (I've watched it all the way through 9 times) and its such a darn shame that very few people remember it. It was a big hit when it originally aired in 2003 here in the UK on BBC 2. Even though the subject matter is different this mini-series deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Band Of Brothers as the story and acting is superb. It really is heartbreaking that so many people have forgotten about Taken as it means a HD release is likely never going to happen. I guess I'll have to make-do with upscaled SD which is a shame as this series would look great in HD.
Yeah unfortunately, my upscales are far from perfect. But it's still somewhat an improvement. I did the whole show and they are on youtube if you wanted to watch it all again
What a fantastic find. 1960's/70's. Love the Work's canteen and all the wedding and family holidays. Just a great stab in time of how we used to live. Hope someone in the film will recognise themselves. They must be out there somewhere. Love the Carry On music too. Very apt as it really was how we used to 'carry on' in those days, days I miss very much.
Ok here's an idea , you could contact all smaller local radio stations in the area like hospital radio stations etc and let them know of your find and ask them to give your channel a shout out so that they could help you find the relatives and friends . It could be a theme , another unique way of tracking down family trees . They could ask other listeners if they have old films of people they would like to track down from the past . I think it's a GREAT story ;D It could become a mission for that community and grow from there to get the support of those all across Britain
haaahaahaa ;D this is so entertaining watching people dance like chickens , eat white triangular shaped sandwich's and that rather random bit where 2 men appear to be helping a lady put on some humungus elephant sized knickers ;D))) BRILLIANT ,dig the music you used too , yes it's a very Carry on movie indeed sir ;D
fascinating...but perhaps I would say that, being a cameraman and film-maker. Still, these old films always give me wonderful shivers ...the only way we humans can ever time travel, the only way we can see our past, echoes of forgotten years and distant voices of long-gone friends. I hope you find the family and get some answers and a story. If you found this in a DVD, then that means the original owners must have had the film converted quite recently, (relatively speaking) certainly within the last what, twenty years, max? The family, or at the least the blonde lady seen on the beach, must have had a fair income: cine film was expensive in the 60s, the camera had a zoom lens and good colour saturation, meaning a good quality lens. Plus, they had a Ford Transit Campervan, fairly new at the time. Any luck tracing the registration plates of the vehicles? Thanks for sharing, these glimpses of our past lives are wonderful to watch.
I attend a lot of auctions and can tell you it is normal for all your photos and films to end up in old boxes and sold a job-lots after you die. I once bought a lot because it had a slide viewer and it came with 1000s of slides. I made the mistake of doing a Facebook search for the people and was contacted by a woman who told me it was all 'grandads stuff' we got rid off when he died. They never bothered looking at the slides and I got lumbered with copying and sending them on to her-I wont do any searches online next time. Sad fact is this is how most of our 'treasured memories' are going to end up unless we sort it out before we pop off!
The white Rolls at 42:35 is PKS 9. The car at 51:11 is VBM 114 which means it is pre-1963 which would be unusual for 1980s. It is the same caravan at 51:11 as at 10:42 and the Bedford plate there is YXX 302 (pre 63) It can not be sequential film. Very distinctive blocks of flats in background at 34:20 and a business sign in the background at 21:35 that says 'Edmunds Walker Co Ltd (?)
interesting, yeah i had no idea if it was sequential or not. I just present it as it was on the dvd disc. Though i did add the music since it was silent throughout
In-smegging-credible. I actually took screenshots of 0:10 and 0:13 and then edited the two together to look like one wide shot of the whole ship. Mainly cuz there's no high res stills available of the whole original Red Dwarf model in frame since it was shot in 4:3 aspect ratio and were mostly beauty passes. And the only existing stills are mostly low res. Though I took the screenshots from the Series 1 DVD as I don't have the Series 1-8 Blu-ray set, so the quality's not quite as impressive as this. I'm not gonna try redoing it again on HD/4K quality though as it was difficult to blend them together seamlessly.
Really enjoyed this, so glad you didn't dissytoy it or though it. Well dun for sharing this with us all. Did like the choice of music, it's well suited good choose, quite enhancing. It's better on RU-vid than in the bin. Well dun you are quite thoughtfull. Nice one
