In the movie 'The Man Who Never Was', directed in 1956, a German Spy (Stephen Boyd) is sent to England to track down on Major William Martin. While the Nazis thought that Major Martin had been carrying secret documents intended for Harold Alexander, it was part of an elaborate plan devised by Ewen Montague as 'Operation Mincehead', a naval intelligence plan. In this scene, the spy visits the wa...

In 1960, Pandit Nehru, Old Harrovian, visited his almamater, Harrow School. The evening featured the traditional Harrow School Songs event in Speech Room (or Speecher as it was known in the 1960s). The original archive film did not have sound and was a mix-mashed in footage. So, I cropped out the parts with Harrow schoolboys and added in the 1928 recording of 'Silver Arrow', a personal favourit...

EXCELLENT! I didn't remember this one! I might never had seen it if not for RUclips. Personally, though? I've always aspired to have the life of Ralph Mellish.
It took me by surprise seeing this on PBS one night.
ALWAYS thought this was a hilariously fun " utter obliviousness" skit.. since I first saw it on late night TV a few decades ago. THANK You for sharing it again.
That’s my photo 🤣 Halifax minster organ

I like the sensible kid at the end lol

This is not a Father Willis organ. Later generation of Willis organ builders.
My mom and younger brother saw this a few years after it was made. I had decided not to watch it with them, just do the last stages of homework. The next morning, my mom complained bitterly about the sight of "the girl behind the counter". I wondered for decades what she was riffing about. Now I've seen the clip. I really didn't see much.😅😅 😅😅
I saw this on PBS back in 2005 or 2006 . I was very surprised to see nudity on that channel. Teenage me thought that was hilarious
Thanks for the upload. Please do a search for the later Rick Wakeman video "I'm so straight I am a weirdo" and you'll see this sort of sketch in musical form.
Everyone on here Eton up with chippy envy….😂
A Wagnerian lifting from the depths, but the whole work tinged with sorrow, for those lost. Compare Vaughan Williams' 3rd Symphony. Across the channel, Debussy's 'En blanc et noir' dispensed with post-Wagnerian lyricism. Alban Berg put to music the fanatically complex 'Wozzeck', strongly anti-war and expressionist. Josef Suk carried Dvorak's style to deep effect in Asrael and Zrani. Later on, Bernd Alois Zimmermann completed 'Die Soldaten' in 1964, a multi-stylistic opera about the destructive effect of war on personal life and relationships. But I like all of these works. Thank you for uploading this.

When I first learnt of Eton College at the age of about twelve I couldn't believe a small number of boys of my age were going to have such an education. I did not want to believe and I just could not believe such a School was going to continue for my generation too. Just as it had done so for countless generations of boys before us. I simply couldn't understand why all the parents and all the adults wanted it to continue. Couldn't they see how unfair and unjust this was? Couldn't they see how such schools were going to perpetuate inequality in society? Couldn't they see that the class system was going to continue if you allow some boys to have such an advantage and privilege within education? It is difficult to explain, and as a teenager I never thought I would say this, but as you become older you slowly begin to see for yourself the important role a School like Eton plays in education. You begin to understand and also to acknowledge the invaluable and incalculable role such a School plays in educating each generation. Above all else you begin to see how special it would be if it continued. Not only for the next generation. But also for the future generations of boys who will follow after them.
No, that's exactly what keeps this society running. Can't you see how such elements of privilege and class act as objects of commonality's aspiration, and goad them to work harder? Human society cannot function without inequality. I work hard and study more and more so as to ride above the public. Instead of deracinating quality education, ameliorate state-funded institutes. Eton must exist for me and countless others, and for people in general, to aim higher and rise more. Eton doesn't care from where you come or what your familial background is, as long as you have money. The solution is simple: work hard for money and be stable on your own.
I went to eton and there is still an aire of poshness but a lot of the snobbery has been fazed out
@@innociduousnepheliad8140 The premise of this argument assumes that people with little money don’t work hard, and that getting into higher society is as easy as simply working hard. This is simply untrue, inequality needing to exist in a society is completely untrue, if inequality exists by that very nature no matter how hard you work you will never be able to get to that higher standing in society.
@@michaelterrell5061 In order to have an equal society, one must relinquish complete control to the state and wait in line for their proportioned handout. All life on earth is unique, no 2 rose bushes produce exactly the same flower, not all dogs can perform clever tricks and not all people can manage trillion dollar budgets or perform brain surgery. A government, no matter how benevolent can not bring every citizen up-to an Eaton standard of education but with sufficient brutality they can bring the standard of living down for everyone equally.
It is what it is , I would argue in the lottery of life I got lucky to be born in Scotland ; receive an education , following by a lot of hard graft for the NHS, then a fully funded University degree , which enabled me as a mature student to go on and become a registered Nurse. It would be wrong to hold a grudge that others have had better opportunities than me, when for every person like myself their are 1000s of ppl around the world that would jump into my shoes. So good luck to them is what I say , takes all types to keep a countries wheels turning.
VERY GOOD 🤜🤛🎺 BRASIL 🇧🇷 RIO DE JANEIRO FLUGELHORN AND TENOR SAX ! PRICE CORNET? PLEASE!!
Great!
I- bro it is so cool-
Wonderful video. Too bad Domum wasn't the background music. I noticed that most of the strats were Hopperite's. In November 2019, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the founding of Turner's at Sunnyside. Nearly 300 of us at a dinner in London. I'd been back for the 600th anniversary of the school itself in 1981. Probably more changes since then (I was there '71), than in the previous century. This video was quilling. Stet Res Wiccamica.

I do so wish there was a Hauptwerk VPO sample set...
