Vicki Explores ... Broadstairs 

I love Vicki's facial; expressions, especially the ones that say "Geoff - Shut up and let me GET ON WITH IT!!!"

Vicki could explore my local Tesco and it would still be worth watching. A natural.

Vicki knows two train types: 1) Pacers 2) Not Pacers

When I was a child (and a teenager) we lived in Croydon and many family holidays were spent at Broadstairs. I well remember Morrelli's, and the fountain into which my dad surreptitiously slipped some washing up liquid with predictable results! 45 years ago, my then girlfriend joined us on holiday and we got engaged there! We've been back a few times since - most recently in the October half-term last year when it was warm enough for people to be swimming in the sea. We made sure to enjoy an ice-cream at Morrelli's. Thanks for renewing fond memories.

Love the Vicki explores videos.

Thanks for that. As a kid,(45 years ago) I lived in London and my Aunt lived in Birchington. Many school holidays spent exploring the Isle of Thanet ( Birchington, Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate). A lovely trip down memory lane expertly presented by yourself and Vicki. Thanks again.

I was sold on Broadstairs just by your drone video Geoff. And Paul's moustache IS awesome

Love Morrellis. Love Broadstairs. Impressed with Paul & his moustache! Great video, keep 'em coming!

That was a fun jaunt. Vicki rocks! More, please?

As usual Vicki is very good despite Geoff rather spoiling it in places

WoW (!!) you guys have stumbled into potentially the makings of a Hit Show. The format needs some tightening (a little chaotic and distracted this run) but a concept works and you can run with- “Vicki’s Tour” fascinating. She has a talent/gift of conducting a guided tour within real life museum …. Suggest Vicki be more in control of the audience next go.

I think 'Vicky Explores' should really be 80 to 90% just Vicky

Love the "exploring" videos.

I like Paul's "Clangers" impression. I worked in an office for a few years, and one day I was just having a little arm-stretch and a yawn (as you do), and a colleague immediately pointed and shouted out "BAGPUSS!!" This vid brought back some happy memories!

lived in Margate for nearly 30 years & loved Broadstairs. Many visits to Morrellies & agree the town is high on the "Quaintness Scale". Thanks for bring back so many memories

Vicki needs her own Vicki explores theme music!

Nice video - keep 'em coming! :)

totally dig the all the stations series. And the continuing "Vicki Explores" videos are great, too. I'm holding out hope for "All The Castles". Planning a vacation to Corrour next summer. Hope to see you guys on a train in the U.K. then.

Great video, and i love the 'clicky' thing! Very well done.

3:00 "Not Danger Mouse" Aw, 'eck! Thank you both for a lovely video! It showcases a part of Britain that maybe not a lot of Britons may see and puts the nice parts on display for those outside of Britain.

I was obsessed with Ivor the Engine as a child and it's finally referenced on All the Stations. Fantastic.

Great video! Appreciate it!

Great video Vicki Geoff

Enjoyed the Video & as I'm from Broadstairs its made me Reminisce about the old days! Its also made me a little Home Sick! But Really Enjoyed Watching the Video as always Guys! A Big Thank You from Me!

Another fun video from you two Plus one

Vicki and Geoff should come and explore Portsmouth! It didn't get much love during All The Stations, but we have the Dickens connection too, and Brunel (both born here), two castles, two cathedrals, the remnants of an old canal, part of which ended up as the railway line, ferry and hovercraft connections to the Isle of Wight, the location of a famous shot from 1970s Doctor Who, and... that's probably about it, to be honest, but that's enough to be getting on with for now.

Can I recommend a Vicki Explores in Folkestone. Its got culture with the Triennial happening at the moment with lots of art around the town plus it has a lot of history with trains with Folkestone Harbour Station and the Foord Viaduct. Also the nearby town of Sandgate is where HG Wells lived... (Just a possibility)

Oh, haven't been visiting ATS for a bit. Great to be back.

Great stuff.

Hope there more of these

Yay my home town

Whitstable is lovely - you definitely need a Vicki Explores there too :)

10:13 What a lovely shot!

Oh yeah! Moustache comment. nice one! Hope it was for charity.

Paul is a wealth of information.

There used to be a branch of Morelli's Cappuccino in the Pallasades shopping centre, above B'ham New St. station until about 2002 (I think).

Definitely easier to film before it starts getting dark early haha less of a shot of the train going into the distance more a shot of the train being consumed by the darkness immediately outside the station 😂 (great video as always loving the Vicki explores continuation of all the stations)

Your comment about, of course, having visited "all the STATIONS" got me thinking. Will you now feel a compulsion for the rest of your days to immediately visit any and all new stations as they open?

Re Geoff's comments about filming at night I thought your footage shot in the dark was actually very nice and atmospheric.

I love the Clangers. One of our friends records them and shows them before our Doctor Who club meetings. We also show the New Thunderbirds, Wallace and Grommet, Shaun the Sheep. We just wish BBC wouldn't block us from watching more of it!

One question - HAS IT GOT BROAD STAIRS?

Morelli's is part of my childhood!!

I literally went on a 1 hour detour of Ivor music. Parp parp!

Broadstairs - so how wide are the stairs and did you measure them .

Back in the 60s there was a Morelli's in Folkestone. I believe the owner was a certain Mr Morelli. He had cars with number plates MM1, MM2 etc up to about MM10. (I think).

Come visit Dover Vickey would love Dover castle

I enjoyed this video. I am still waiting for a Harry Potter themed video

You missed out on the real 39 Steps (Stairs) in North Foreland. Based on the Hannay/ John Buchan Novels. Also, Winston Churchill spent many a summer holiday in Broadstairs My nerdy knowledge stems from my boarding school days in North Foreland. Also spent many a weekend exit eating great ice cream at Morelli’s and at the Great Expectations restaurant when my parents would visit. Good times

Also when you went to Skegness (Skegvegas) there was some footage shot in the dark on the seafront

The train you left at Broadstairs was a Class 375 Electrostar EMU.

I'm on another planet, she's on the Isle of Thanet.

Are you aware of the new Kenilworth station opening next month?

Are the morellli,s any relation to the morello,s in portstewert Northern Ireland?

Did that postbox get any points in the famous hunt for the Q-word? Nicolas Nickleby, together with Little Dorrit my two favourites by Dickens.

What does Vicky say at the very end ?

Eye To Eye, The Big Gamble: via @bbciplayer - nice old documentary on bbci player at the moment about Broadstairs.

Like the night shot of the departing train ... adds drama to the experience

I can do an impression of Ivor the Engine...it's very good.

Vicki Explores - till Jeff shows up, again and again, then brings in his mates. Vicki keeps trying to explore - Nope! More Jeff. Jeff's found another buddy. "Vicki? Talkin to my mates" Vicki finds something .. nah more Jeff.

A joke about stairs being broad.

10:25: Properly British. The taxi turns up really early and you feel you have to leave dinner early and sit in a cold station so as not to inconvenience the driver.

Love the format. Geoff is lovely but does need to shut up a bit more when the title of the video is "Vicki explores". Maybe you could flag the next one as "Geoff interrupts" instead so we know to skip it. The comment below about tightening up a bit is well made.

#allthedaylight

DANGER MOUSE

I see Geoff has started making cameos in other creators videos now ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-28_tNFnMrTk.htmlm37s

Bagpuss was filmed in Canterbury

You should do Viki explores Carrick Fergus it has a castle

One thing, one IMPORTANT THING you missed was H E Harrington's in Broadstairs - the inspiration for The Two Ronnies "Fork Handles" sketch.

Has vicky considered exploring the Glasgow Subway?

My greatgran lived here

Bleak House is featured in this weeks Four in a bed on Channel 4

Vicki my auntie Vicky used to live in chandos square.

The clangers have returned to cbeebies

Wot no Cliff Lift?

Mustache envy over here!

@Vicki Teleportation by clicking with your fingers? What happened with using your wand.

For some reason there is a weird gap in age group where if I talk to anyone 18 or under (I'm 19 btw) nobody knows about the clangers (original not the bad remake), bagpuss, Ivor the engine or especially the herbs which was my favourite and unfortunately went through 2 VHS tapes as I ran them out, Some don't even know who Mary Poppins is or have never watched chitty chitty bang bang or the sound of music.

whitstable? isn't that where peter cushing lived?

It's a shame Brunell never built a Great Western branch to Broadstairs! Broad gauge to Broadstairs!

A Class 375 pulls in Geoff: Is that a pacer or a electrostar Vicki: ... me: BLEACH AT THE READY Vicki: Electrostar Me: Thank god Vicki: No Wait... Me:...........................................

And did the Clangers really wear Crocs?

"...theme to tune to the Clangers"...NOOO! - lol.

dammit guys, please tell me next time you come to thanet.

Vicki needs to binge watch Ivor the Engine!

Vicki should explore sandwich!!

Vicki could have shown us a glimpse of beach...

I wonder what the 'ALL CAPS' comment would have been on Geoff's share in this "Vicky Explores" video ... Do miss 'm (the comments) in a funny sort of way.

Broadstairs has a serious traffic problem.

I've got that music

A quick click trip

So where's the rest of his beard?😁

Mustache comment.

skegvegas was in the dark...……………...

Another moustache comment

What the Dickens is going on here....the clangers live on clanger planet, with the start of the universe, ask the iron chicken...honest ...

Geoff, let her speak for f@#§s sake.

This pointy stuff is getting a bit OTT.

great vid and the clangers is a boring show on this kids programme called Cbeebies

I preferred Vicki about 6 years ago. She's just a bit too mousy now.

The Clangers mural is absolutely wonderful. Oliver Postgate was a genius and I adore his work.
