By the way, great choice of paintings in this and other videos. I hadn't appreciated this artist's name before. Beautifully thought-provoking. If you haven't do so already, may I suggest you take a look at Rev. Henry Moules's water colours? You might find a place for his work alongside any future readings. He was linked with Barnes and Thomas Hardy as they all lived close by.

'but hope I have done it alright'? I reckon you have. I like to read Barnes' poetry from time to time but struggle with the flow. Listening to you will make it less troublesome for me. So I have created a playlist of your readings which I shall use as my own tutorial, many thanks.

All the Perplexii are designed by Michael with exception to the two PlayMonster designs (Drakko & Q-bot) and the two spinning maze designs (Sidewinder & Twisted) *not to be confused with the Twist that you covered in your video. The most recent Portal design is my favourite by far.

I love all vegetables and salads and dips, but my baked potatoes are unhealthy, I like a knob of butter melted over the the two halves of the potato, I cut it in half, and then a large spoonful of coleslaw over each half!! full of calories and unhealthy but so good!! 😊

Thanks for this fascinating video - I never watched TV in the 1980s when I was young, especially not Breakfast TV, as I was always rushing out of the door to school. Now these snippets of old breakfast TV fascinate me!! was this actually 1981? I thought Breakfast TV began in 1983.

Barnes is just so very beautiful.

If your search for the pale blood has brought you here, then rejoice brethren. For you have found the source.

“The little death in life” what a quote

Nice to see Jill Gascoigne.

Amazing that bell leisure ltd are still going as a business in ashurst and according to Google maps still sell snooker tables although looks like they are more into selling swimming pools now

Hmm recorded on Betamax I presume ?

It was an ancestor of mine that took him to Winchester.!!

That’s me singing! 😎 I think I messaged you about ten years ago asking if I could use the video haha 😂 my girlfriend randomly started singing this today so had to find this video again 😂😂

I’d love to hear Phil Harding narrating this great tale (Tine Team)

Thanks Alan, what a wonderful peace of work, have learned and enjoy all afternoon and evening

01:34, Torres wine. Still lovely in 2021, though I prefer the red. Nice 80s klunge too, three lots of breakfast totty, full bush under those skirts and trousers, Gill Gascoigne! Smashing crumpet!

Isn't is incredible that the one thing we dodge online, is the very thing we look back on fondly.

Even the advert s were better in those days ..

Thank you for caring. Thank you for sharing. 🐙🐋🐛🐖🐦

Well done for making these videos.

People were still born at the hospital in 1962 though normally they were born at Odstock hospital.

1983 is my birth year ❣️

Great video. Well done!

Eterna Catherine! Amo seus livros! Você é o próprio amor!

0:39 it spell olay not Ulay

Great paintings, who painted them?

Sounds more like a public school boy trying to be a Worzel. Not very authentic.

She has the face of an angel like the beauty drawn by an old artist upon the barroom floor and eyes of the wisest of wisdoms. I own every book she's written which keeps me spellbound to her tho I've read them all many times over its never gets old to me. I've built a separate bookcase to house her books only its like a shrine to greatest woman who lived on the face of the earth and with my magic wand I wash away everything and anything that hurt her as she is the most precious of all flawless gems..a gift.. a mystery of our universe just for me. And now the impossible has become a possible..I hear her swert voice for the first time. Thankyou Catherine 💞 from 🇨🇦

Catherine is by far my favorite author. I have most of her books and will not part with them. I live in the USA. The first book I read of hers was Maggie Rowan. Then I was hooked. Rest dear Catherine. You’ve earn it.

She's a marvelous writer.

My Grandma and Grandpa are in this ! Very emotional for me to watch as the first time me seeing as this.

She was a selfish and greedy and evil bitch! Boasting she murdered her five unborn children to stop them from interfering with her career . Don't watch or read her Crap !

My favorite AUTHOR...how I love her books, I still have them all, and the movies that were made from a lot of her books. God bless you Catherine.

How awful and how far we have come. :)

I don't care what spot on year it's just lovely having the memories flood back 👍👌

Can you upload that snooker advert plz

FANTASTIC ! we explored an old lime kiln near Hindon in the summer ,,cose to tisbury,,Wiltshire ,thanks for a superb video best wishes ,,,Adrian and Simon ,,,Dorset .

In case anyone reads this and is interested.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprJg4Kvppd1jq8 Finding her Da..... it happened , sadly after she passed, but enough people cared to find out... ( ta find oot 😉) Thank you, Catherine, I love your books, I love your stories, I certainly know sorrow and breakdowns myself.. seeing myself was a shock... ......, I am so thankful you walked this Earth and left what you left 🌈❤️ (Edit.... I just recently met a woman at work, from Gambia, and her name is Jarrow... ! And when I told her that was a town in the North East of England she didn't believe it !! )

I 💖 Catherine Cookson movies to bits but I've said in light hearted comments to friends before "Gosh, Catherine must have had a troubled childhood" but I had no idea whatsoever 🌷 I was brought up in a violent dysfunctional family in London in the late 50s early 60's but seeing this documentary has brought awareness to this fine Lady's roots ❤️ Thank you Catherine for all the Entertainment you've gifted. My most Favourite Movie, The Moth ❤️

I never have heard an "ode to a bakery" until now; I feel your pain :o)

I’ll go back in time to buy a Snooker Table :)
