The Nations Railway: The Golden Age of British Rail (HD)
We revisit Britain's railways during the era of nationalisation. For all its bad reputation today, the old British Rail boldly transformed a decayed, war-torn Victorian transport network into a system fit for the 20th century. With an eye firmly on the future, steam made way for diesel and electric, new modern stations like Euston were built, and Britain's first high-speed trains introduced.
Made with unique access to the British Transport Films archive, this is a warm corrective to the myth of the bad old days of rail, but even it can't hide from the horror that was a British Rail sandwich.

When Wrestling was Golden: Grapples, Grunts and Grannies
Просмотров 12 тыс.9 лет назад
BBC Timeshift turns back the clock to a time when villains wore silver capes, grannies swooned at the sight of bulky men in latex and the most masculine man in the country was called Shirley. In its heyday, British professional wrestling attracted huge TV audiences and made household names of generations of wrestlers from Mick McManus and Jackie 'Mr TV' Pallo to Giant Haystacks and Big Daddy. W...

BBC Timeshift tells the story of how a traditional working-class pub game became a national obsession during the 1970s and 80s, and looks at the key role television played in elevating its larger-than-life players into household names. Siobhan Finneran narrates a documentary which charts the game's surprising history, its cross-class and cross-gender appeal, and the star players that, for two d...

Not days of pageantry or stuffy celebration, but events reflec...

This special, broadcast on BBC One on 1 January 2006, showed the creation of Harris's 80th birthday portrait painting of Queen Elizabeth II. It was highly publicised because the Queen had never been seen on such a programme before. In it, Harris goes to Buckingham Palace where he meets the Queen and paints her in an impressionist style.

    Its sad that a young lad died! but unfortunately if you burgle someones house you cant complain if the homeowner defends himself and his property... in this case it was a farm house and everyone knows that farmers are likely to have shotguns. What did they expect to happen ?

    I’ve been watching the Pink Windmill Show, and he had a piece in it called Boggle’s Kingdom where he played a Tudor period king. Apparently he included that in the series to show his versatility as not just a presenter and Emu’s right hand man, but as an actor too. The bird made him, but sadly it shrouded everything else about him.

    Tony Martin did act in self defence since people broke into his house, they shouldn’t of broken into his home… the U.K. should have the castle doctrine like in America, give homeowners the right to defend themselves against home invaders.

  • @bakedbeans9546
    @bakedbeans9546 3 месяца назад

    Even to this day, if you ever found burglars in your home the British government expects you to call your local incompetent police force and cower in the corner as you wait for them. Who in their right mind wants to do that? Everyone has a right to defend their home, regardless of what the government agrees with or not.

  • @squeegybe
    @squeegybe 3 месяца назад

    As an American this story sickens me. Tony doesn't have to explain what he was doing in his home when they broke in. THEY BROKE IN!!!! They were where they shouldn't have been. Your pain means nothing in someone else's home.

    I wish none of us ever had to feel threatened and scared for our lives in our own homes. Tony Martin exercised his right to freedom and to protect his home, himself and his dogs. I've been burgled three times. I agree with the lady who said about the Bobby on the beat who knew everyone on his beat. I grew up with respect for authority starting with respect for my parents and neighbours.
