My mums dad was on this. So lovely to watch this as he passed away when she was 18 so we never met him.

Boyd's, my beloved.

Thank god mechanical TV failed, like the internal combustion engine should have, we had electric cars before petrol-gas. That didn't work out to well.

Berlin Olympics 1936 was broadcast live to Germans who had a televisor so come on get over it.

Simple we knew electricity was followed by light. When radio came out we knew in our hearts and minds a visual version of radio was just round the corner.

Lucky in America to have the copy of this show! With David Frost!

Video software. I've not heard that phrase for years!

I could never understand whether Gogol wrote this as a work of comedy or satire. This performance makes it no clearer either, but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I hate that "reporter". Video piracy is epic. I hate how they stalked and spied on these people. Filming them through their windows, snooping in their car. You are not the authority.

Can you imagine a program like this getting made today?!

1:20:48 Ooh. :-0

There is a radio 4 programme about them at 8pm tonight.

My late grandfather watched these lessons on Dutch television in the mid-1960s. I know this because I still have audio recordings of them from his reel to reel tape recorder. Now I know what Walter and Connie look like. I see Hattie Jacques has a guest role in this episode

Dr. Cameron was such a jerk to Janet!

For those of us who watched the dire children's offerings of the 60s, this is closer to reality than you might think. I wish the BBC had given this brilliant lady more air-time.

Thank you for uploading, my great gran appears in this so was great to see 😀

I love the old ads, too. Thanks!

Not funny!

Three stars the lady from are you beginning serviced miss haymen and Jon pertwee doing the voice of the Pg monkey with Michael Robbins spooky 😮 SU garden

Thankyou Sirs for your fight, i worked @ Shelton Mill from 1988 till its closure in 2000, provided me with a good standard of living and ability to buy my first home and raise a family. I miss the Bar, they were tough shifts but very few since understand how Steel Production and the men and women that do it are a very special breed...

Ooooof, very good Ken!

You stills get coffee mate but not Heinz pudding tins anymore SU garden 🏆

Baird was a good publicist... his mechanical TV proved to be far inferior to EMI's electronic TV. Thank goodness that the BBC chose EMI

Another great selection with plenty of old adverts for me to reminisce about! Always look out for your uploads and hope that one day you may post the ones I have been looking out for for such a long time - sthe Famous Names liqueur chocolates ones with Terry Thomas where he says something like "We go though the same thing every year" after the shopkeeper lists off a load of celebrity names to him!

As someone who grew up [after leaving my native London in my pre teens] in Selly Oak and Bournbrook [the shadow of Birmingham University], who has actually stood IN that lecture theatre, who is friends with Sonja Kristina and whose mate Don is the agent of both her/Curved Air AND Chris Farlowe/Colosseum, this is an extraordinarily welcome find. Along with 'Starmaker' and 'Return To Waterloo' [The Kinks] 'Zero Zero' [Mike Batt] 'Three Minute Heroes' [Brummie popsters Fashion and assorted 2 Tone acts] 'Adventures Of Son Of Exploding Sausage' [the Bonzos] 'The Looking Glass Murders' [Bowie] 'Orion' [Richard Barnes] 'Glitter' [Toyah Wilcox, Bilbo Baggins] 'Jumping Bean Bag' [starring David Dixon and Denis Lawson as members of the fictional 'Slag Bag'] the series 'Jangles' [Hazel O'Connor] and two productions I have NEVER yet been able to find starring Julie Covington, 'Great Big Groovy Horse' and 'Censored Scenes From Hong Kong' [if anybody has EITHER of 'em, send 'em over 'ere now] this represents TV-financed Brit rock operetta at its most outre, and I'm glad it still exists. I wonder how many others we don't know about, or which have since disappeared from existence? [NB: There were a few similar cinematic outings during the 65-85 period too, including 'Gonks Go Beat' [mentioned by another poster below] 'The Ghost Goes Gear' [featuring the Spencer Davis Group] 'Never Too Young To Rock' [assorted glam groups plus Bob Kerr] 'Comeback' [Eric Burdon] 'Rock You Sinners' [various 50s rock n rollers nobody ever saw again plus jazz legend Tony Crombie] 'The Golden Disc' [Terry Dene] 'The Moon Over The Alley' [various Notting Hill/Ladbroke Grove crusties] and 'Popdown' [starring Brian Auger and Zoot Money] although the latter of those has also seemingly now 'popped' out of existence.

Miriam Margolyes before she became a National Treasure - so pretty as a young woman, too! Love her.

He got through that entire intro to the rebroadcast without a cut or mistake.

😢

Here another advert with sally thomsett from man about the house 23:47 SU garden

Mmmm, sweet, sweeeet offal.

Ah, top quality, Vee-flicking, F. U. television. Brings back happy memories of unhappy times fondly remembered. I'm delighted that KZbin's puritan auto-censorship algorithms haven't worked out what the duck was going on yet.

All frightfully, terribly posh.

这部剧曾引进中国，遥想当年，一言难尽……
