Just like stepping into a John Betjeman poem. Lovely.

I walked along the old railway track in 2017, from Ingra Tor to Burrator Reservoir, returning alongside the Devonport Leat that feeds into the reservoir. The landscape is still recognisable.

A beautiful age gone and lost forever, no hustle and bustle just a "normal life".

Love this. But "equine racism" is First World Problems for sure. lol

Congratulations!! Wallace is a champ!

That's when we had a navy ☹️

Absolutely brilliant! 👌🎸

When it was safe for our military to walk in uniform in their own country, without fear of being stabbed.

Simply outstanding 👌 it’s a shame the BBC forgot how to make programmes like this 🥴

Our beautiful country which once was 🙂

I miss Justin

This is the second time I’ve seen this film. It’s fascinating to watch, as much for the people and their interactions as for the wonderful places here in Devon and Cornwall. Fills me with nostalgia, even though I wasn’t born till 15 years after the film was made. 😊

Sharptor is not on Dartmoor.

Paedophilia

OUTSTANDING. I LOVE GUZ AND AWAYS WILL. KING WILLIAM YARD WELL WORTH A VISIT. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC NOW. THE HOE AND BARBICAN STILL A THRILL. THANK YOU.

loved seeing the saloirs in plymouth in there uniforms

Those beautiful Devon and Cornwall villages. Been to Looe and Polperro many times.

Bloody hell, young ‘Jack’ is covering more miles on his run ashore than the bloody Royal Marines did in the Falklands campaign. But wasn’t life so simple…

And an night in union St.!!!

Heart B Dyna, check this mule out.

I met authentic mules du Poitou last year and they are astounding. Genetically they are very special because they accumulate only the good genes and combine them. So everything is super about them: their health, their coat and hooves (extra hard), their character. Their pace is also extraordinary, they move around in a very elastic feline manner. Incredible animals

awwww would love to see more of him in action. How exciting. What a beautiful boy

And killing animals, pathetic

Iife doesn't make u look harder

i have last saw plymouth in now the year 2042 its has become a horrible doomed place!

ive been ankle deep in that mud next to the slipway at cothele so many times :)

beautiful

Happy the flying Scotsman 100th anniversary

❤ I'm Soo Happy for You, keep going ,Great job.❤

This is an eloquent and thoughtful piece from PT. But I'm not sure about the interviewer. "Life being cicular/cycular"? You cannot just invent words.... Well, most people can't.

10 points.

Thank you so much for posting this. It is lovely... but at 4:45 there is reference to horror:. the totally unsympathetic people unfriendly proto-soviet proto fascist American motor city 'replanned ' by vicious Abercombie. But, thankfully , that is only mentioned briefly and from then on the film is lovely and gentle and there are some very nice parts .. the train , life in the villages . So sad the line was closed. Such beauty lost, such nostalgia. I was eight and living in Plymouth in 1954 My mother was in the WRNS and in the Plymouth blitz. Overall a lovely film.

Would love to know more about him, how long he served ect what he did after the navy?...and info on him?

Born in 1973, I remember good old England/Plymouth. I now live on Mutley Upon Africa. I can walk from one end of the plain to the other & not hear English being spoken!

Delightful. Let's open the borders and see what happens.

I keep thinking of the Navy lark and HMS Troutbridge whilst watching this..

I would love to time travel back to that crab and lobster sandwich shop and just eat them all day for a week, no plastic in seafood then.

Fantastic to watch being from Plymouth and seeing all the places Dartmoor and Look back in the 50.s when I was a teenager thank you.

I need to listen to understand I'm flabbergasted!!!

I'm totally speechless I listen out Pete talking and explaining things about music and it's history how he sees it very intriguing 🤔😃

I certainly had more fun in Union street than walking across bloody Dartmoor. And when did you see Jack not having a pint when ashore.😊

Amazing takes balls to ride them big waves

Before we were invaded

If I may quote Bruce Forsyth from the Generation Game "Didn't he do well ?" Lovely to be able to see the fit slender young man of 20 now a more solid gentleman of 80 odd years having risen through the Naval ranks to a well deserved retirement. Great stuff and well done researchers in finding Lt Com Wyatt RN retired

Shame you didn't cover his actual cross country journey from Tavistock ?

Well reported my friend, kudos Johnny! 🇬🇧 Next time You in the States ring me for a pint ol'buddy

The two badge man (8 years undetected crime) would have been serving in ww2

Things what the Royal Navy does for a free pish up lol

It is a shame there is no train to Princetown now. It would be very popular, especially in the summer.
