IDontKnowImLostForWords I didn't think it was possible. Jay Foreman revitalizing a previous series without a well-defined end that many would agree could allow for several more excellent episodes?
I really enjoy watching Jay and Geoff’s videos about London. Having left London in the mid-60’s, it’s nice to be reminded of the area in which I grew up. Jay pointed out where Bruce Forsythe once lived in Uphill Drive as they drove up Watford Way between Mill Hill Broadway and Apex Corner. At the time, Bruce was the compare of Val Parnell’s Sunday Night at the London Palladium. I had a paper round in that area at the time but I only saw him the once as he was leaving the house. I would have been thirteen. He came out of the house to open the gates as I was walking down the footpath. I suddenly saw him and froze to the spot in panic! He glanced over at me and then walked over to pick something up by the road. I could see him chuckling to himself. I expect that he’d got used to startling shy young paperboys, lol. From Uphill Drive, Geoff and Jay would have gone around Apex Corner and taken the A1 Barnet Way leaving the A41 behind. Bruce Forsythe wasn’t the only famous person living in that area. Both Leslie Phillips from the ‘Carry On’ films and Roger Moore lived in Barnet Way. Roger Moore lived, I think, at no 48 and Leslie Phillips at 78, (I used to deliver Leslie Phillips’ newspapers at one time). In Roger Moore’s case, this would I think have been after he had split up with Dorothy Squires and would have been playing in ‘The Saint’. I never saw Roger Moore myself although my Mum and my brother-in-law frequently did. Leslie Phillips was often to be seen around, usually accompanying his children walking up to the shops at Apex Corner. As far as I know, he lived at that address for many years. Jay seems to have a very intimate knowledge of this area. I was born and grew up in Ellesmere Avenue and the short cut through from the bottom of Ellesmere Avenue to what we used to call ‘Scratch Woods’ motorway service station, was not common knowledge when I lived there. I’m surprised that it hasn’t been blocked off. The residents wouldn’t thank Jay for advertising it on RUclips, lol.
@@user-ky6vw5up9m Yes, yes, yes, lol. I knew that Patrick McGoohan and Graham Hill lived on the Ridgeway somewhere. Patrick Troughton also comes to mind. I didn't know that Topol and Rodney Bewes lived in the area. I once dropped off some cakes at Patrick McGoohan's house when I worked for Mr Hinds, the baker, in Dawes Lane. My Mum worked in his shop at one time. She often served Patrick McGoohan. She loved him. She said how polite and respectful he was. Thanks for that.
1:25 Geoff's hesitancy tells me that he knows he's in for a mini roasting on the old Coldplay admission. Edit: It was definitely the third album tour btw!
I'm sure in a big venn diagram there would be lots of us in the section between London based transport videos, London based history videos and London based bands called Coldplay videos!

@@Londonfogey Along with their indicator usage exemption and lack of a need to check blind spots due to their all-round superiority naturally repelling those around them, it's a good justification for the outrageous insurance rates.
@@PaulLaylandT I had no idea. Anyway, his Mini is clearly a very tarted up redone one, which would cost rather a lot, which I thought was the basis of his joke.
Great idea - look forward to the other parts. I'm sure you've already thought of this, but if you do more videos in the mini (please do) - please consider lepel mics so your voices are clearer over the mini's rumble :)
I'm so thrilled you are spending time in the area I live in. I know all these roads, been driving there, too. Pretty cool! And yes, the Archway has a fantastic view of London.
It's the collaboration I've wanted for the last 5 minutes when I discovered Geoff's channel this morning and wondered if he's done any videos with the Unfinished London guy.
This is awesome! It's like Unfinished London 2.0. Similar enough to be of the same value to myself - different enough for Jay to have fun in creating new things instead of rehashing the same concepts.
The green small tower clock at 0:49 is at the intersection of Goswell road and City Road near Duncan terrace Gardens. The raised pavement at 1:00 are near the intersection of Upper street and Duncan street in Islington. At 1:15 the old Highbury station is at end of Upper street and start of Holloway road. The cat at 1:55 is near the intersection of Holloways road and Davenant road.
Mirza Ahmed Tom did the intro animation for Unfinished London... and I'm pretty sure I recall them working on other stuff together. So a full on collab is definitely possible.
While it’s not Jay & Tom together, he did fill in for Tom on a park bench video last year - m.ruclips.net/video/rTW661upLJw/видео.html Also, Jay was part of Tom’s game show Questionable - m.ruclips.net/video/xl6jzEhxoVA/видео.html
cindybin2001 are you and actual idiot. What the fuck is wrong with you. Seriously. There is nothing wrong with profanity, there is something wrong with YOU.
Chaps, just for the record. Stick a plug for the Samaritans and the number in the description. It's considered best practice whenever you mention suicide, as showing bridges and mentioning it sadly has a very indirect effect. Ta. www.samaritans.org
I lived right between the two art-deco cinemas during my internship. I don't live in the UK: this is the greatest coincidence to me :D ! I won't miss part 2!!
Jay and Geoff - the londonish'est youtube-double possible... I love Jay for his style (like the spoken motor noises here) and Geoff for his explainations and detailed informations about the london tube and london in general - aside of all the touristic things.
![Stroads are Ugly, Expensive, and Dangerous (and they're everywhere) [ST05]](/img/1.gif)
Nerdiest road trip ever. Love it.
City Beautiful I love your channel.
hey I am a student studying city planning and I watch your channel too!
I'm honoured! I love your channel! (Geoff probably likes it too)
Jay Foreman Thanks! Love your channel too!
Add Tom in the back seat and it really would be.
Jay: * talks about suicide bridge *
Also Jay, immediately after: *RIM RIMRMRIMRMRIMRM*
3:08 - 3:23
Owen’s Trains hello second account
I'm pretty sure Jay is just made entirely from old Monty Python sketches.
This is like a dream come true. Avid follower of both of you.
Catweasel GP i know right?!Christmas wishes do come true
100% agreed, legends!
A poet and he didn't know it
cindybin2001 shut up there’s nothing wrong with swearing unless it’s at children and he definitely didn’t tell his followers to swear at you
@cindybin2001 You are a strong definition of the word; 'Karen'.
The series I never knew I wanted
A.K.A. Unfinished London part 5
Elvastan no, that's coming in the new year according to Jay's Twitter.
yes! i bloody love that series
IDontKnowImLostForWords I didn't think it was possible. Jay Foreman revitalizing a previous series without a well-defined end that many would agree could allow for several more excellent episodes?
Elvastan not quite, coming Spring 2018
A.K.A. a Noel Gallagher song
Two quality RUclipsrs together. Decent.
@cindybin2001 Don't use the word jerk, it's offensive.
@cindybin2001 You keep making the same comment. I hope you have decided to get help in the two years since. Is mental health covered by NHS?

I’m leaving my car. Jay Geoff Marshall. Let y train
Here in December 2023 on the sixth anniversary of this video being suggested to me, and discovering Geoff's channel!
3:44 Mini years ago.
That made me cry.
Sorry.
I was joking about the joke :P
I was joking about your joke about the joke. :)
I was joking about your joke about my joke about your joke . :D
My god, it's like my youtube autoplay became sentient and produced a video.
Lol
Stunning car for this type of humorous yet informative video. And Geoff seems like a great guy, so thanks for introducing him Jay!
1:25 Geoff's hesitancy tells me that he knows he's in for a mini roasting on the old Coldplay admission.
Edit: It was definitely the third album tour btw!
I'm sure in a big venn diagram there would be lots of us in the section between London based transport videos, London based history videos and London based bands called Coldplay videos!
The third album is the best album.
Their last album, is their best album.

I thought slower cars shouldn't hog the right lane, though?
Just coming up to a speed camera too
@@davidrallison7038 They may be going at the speed limit, and the BMW way over it. This happens, apparently. I've met people who witnessed it.
"This was the largest car I could afford". Is that a Simpsons reference or...?
Unconsciously, yes.
Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall.

"You got Jay in my Geoff!"
"You got Geoff in my Jay!"
Meanwhile Vicki is sitting on the sideline feeling jealous.
I love the amount of intricate detail for something as mundane as the A1. Please make another 👏
I pressed like before watching it... I knew it would be good
Two of my favorite RUclipsrs coming together for a project! The best Christmas gift you could ask for!
I don't often comment on RUclips, but I think that this vid is both charming, informative and extremely well done. Bravo!
Two of my favourite youtubers? SURE
Brad Gray Yeah mine too.
cindybin2001 Really?! That's fucking rough.
This was genuinely so entertaining! Really looking forward to part 2.
1:50 Jay shouts "Look, it's a cat" while pointing at a random shop.
(yeah, I live there)
A video with Geoff and Jay? The perfection
What a great way to start the day with a crossover from 2 of my favorite RUclips channels
When’s the sequel “Jay and Geoff go down the A2” coming out?
My two favorite RUclipsrs!!!!!! Can't handle the excitement!!!
I BLOODY LOVE IT
This is so nostalgic! I live just off Holloway Road!
Life has become worth it once more.
My two favourite London nerds in the same vid... this is RUclips gold. Hell it’s simply gold, period.
I’m not British and have never been to the UK and should have no interest in this at all yet I find this endlessly fascinating.
Moar! I live in Sweden, and I can't wait for more roadtrips up (or down) roads I know NOTHING about, but are presented cheerfully nerdy!
You two should do a series which is the opposite of Coast... INLAND!
Two great London RUclips celebs who go great together. This is awesome.
Great idea - look forward to the other parts. I'm sure you've already thought of this, but if you do more videos in the mini (please do) - please consider lepel mics so your voices are clearer over the mini's rumble :)

I've said is on Geoff's channel, and i will say it here:
Make more of these road trips's around London!
Not even watched the video yet, but already can not stp overt the beauty of the car on the first picture... my all time favourite!

Even if I've only been to London once, for about 8h, I enjoy Geoff's Londonist videos. Amazing to see the collab here.
Get Tom Scott to do a video with you guys.
Mirza Ahmed Tom did the intro animation for Unfinished London... and I'm pretty sure I recall them working on other stuff together. So a full on collab is definitely possible.

Imagine a road/train trip with those three together. Damn
This is the most natural collaboration ever. Both having similar likes and knowledge. I didn't know about Geoff's channel, followed him now
Nice Simpson's reference at 0:45
I’m so happy you and Geoff did this!
you guys work great together! :)
This series is going....to....be....epic!!! Geoff AND Jay team up!!! This can only be great.
"Well, I'm sorry, that's the largest car I could afford."
[has a 1960s Austin Mini Cooper S]
You're both stars, love it and cannot wait for the second installment.
3:01 Geoff steals jay's car 😂
This was wonderful! Please do more :) (more anything Jay! All of your mini-docs like this are great!)
"Do you ever look ever look out the window at all the interesting things?"
"No its dangerous"
Funny but so damn true.
I love both of these guys. They're awesome and it's great to see them doing stuff together!
Named after Tally Ho Pub. It used to have an air-raid siren.
I fucking saw you guys. You drove past me
Where?
Jay Foreman Holloway road, I just got off a bus.
Jay Foreman This was awhile ago now. I was just like, huh theres Jay
Jay Foreman nice to come here and confirm it was you
cindybin2001 are you and actual idiot. What the fuck is wrong with you. Seriously. There is nothing wrong with profanity, there is something wrong with YOU.
two of my favourite youtubers this will be wonderful!
Been waiting for this to happen. You have to take Jay on a least used station, for science
PJ and the Craxfords, Yes, a least used SERVICE station.
Its great to see new content from this channel. Its honestly one of the most enterteainging educeation channels out there.
How do borders between bourghs effect London? Well Jay, you gave us the answer in a great video recently!
This felt like a lovely wholesome piece of content. I enjoyed it
1:40
Geoff Is not in the car
Chiltern006 well he doesn’t own a camera robot does he?
Chiltern006 how on earth did they get that shot outside the car?
The joke was intended
Chiltern006 sarcasm
He must have gone for a wee, while the extensive production crew dealt with that shot...
3:56 “these things” are a massive childhood memory for me because I’d always see them on the way to my grandparents’ house :))
3:25 I NEED AN ELECTRIC CAR THAT MAKE THAT NOISE!!!
This collab was a long way coming. Just excellent
I love a map, me.
I love these guys' videos. They're the best!

Oh splendid! My most favorite brits doing a collab! Marvelous!!
England is my city!!!
the 2 youtubers i like the most
this is the best thing ive seen all year
Lucky guys! I’ve been asking if I can take my Mrs up the A1 for years and she just refuses every time! 🤦♂️
i watched jays videos then geoffs videos and now they are together! great!
The tumbnail looks like the start of a 70s cop show
Please, please, please make more videos. I love your sense of humor and your fact-filled videos!
Jeffenjay's sound like a type of biscuit.
but is it a biscuit, pastry or cake?
YESS!!!! What a team! MORE MORE MORE!!! Next up: Geoff and Jay attempt to go round the M25.
"Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history."
I've only ever been up Holloway Road on match days. Amazing to actually see the car moving
0:45 Who's cool enough to get the reference?
2 of my favorite lads,great!
Surely at least some of Coldplay's current work is decent? What about Everglow for example?
Please, don't bring music elitism at least here because it's everywhere now...
The A1 fascinates me because of so much history along the way.
Am I be the first to ask, "where's Vicki"?
Man I've been waiting for this collaboration for so long!
Oh come on, Jay, Coldplay is always fun!
Lawrence Calablaster I get what Jay says, latest albums are bad lol
Juanma206 - Twitch I'm still a fan of A Head Full of Dreams myself, though I get the lack of appeal for it & Ghost Stories- too "poppy".
My favourite crossover of all time! Tube nerd vs road nerd!
Oh dear lord the two of you on a long car journey, how many useless but interesting facts can they fire at us!
My God.. That Mini is to die for. Beautiful.
"Two feminists in a Mini."
It would be a gleaming title
I love the colour of your mini. It looked well maintained and very suitable to your persona
Ooh, this sounds like it could be a bit like unfinished London. I'm definitely watching this.
I lived right between the two art-deco cinemas during my internship. I don't live in the UK: this is the greatest coincidence to me :D ! I won't miss part 2!!

I just found this channel like a week ago and watched all the videos so glad there's a new one now lol
Yay! I'm so glad all my favourite London RUclipsrs Colab together
Nice to see you again!
This may be the best thing I've ever watched
Really?! Watch more things!
I love both of their channels
My favorite crossover
Geoff! Jay! Mini!
This video has EVERYTHING.
