Good viewing - I've posted a very (badly) edited video taster below.

 

This one's called Roads Railways and Runways, made in the 60s I think, capturing the state of our rapidly-changing transport.

This just seems to be a series called look at life. There are loads of them on YouTube.

^^ Well worth watching, too. I had a look and this whole programme is on youtube too, not yet deleted by the beeb - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH6MXQUGU-k

 

These half hour compilations are made up of the short Look at Life films, made by Rank and mentioned on here - just thought someone might want to sit and watch this one. They're all well made and worth watching.

I hope they don't get deleted of youtube

'Britain on Film', there was one on BBC4 last night - 'Messing about in boats'. As said it is just a compilation of excerpts of 'Look at life'. I've got them all on dvd and it's not just the transport stuff that is interesting, they all are; sport, science and technology. So easy to dip in and out of...

 

I've got the theme to 'Britain on Film' as my ring tone...'Another Happening' by Neil Richardson 8)

Was Stanley Baxter the presenter then?
