As some of you will know
Newsreel archive British Pathé has uploaded its entire collection of 85,000 historic films, in high resolution, to its YouTube channel. This unprecedented release of vintage news reports and cinemagazines is part of a drive to make the archive more accessible to viewers all over the world.
“Our hope is that everyone, everywhere who has a computer will see these films and enjoy them,” says Alastair White, General Manager of British Pathé. “This archive is a treasure trove unrivalled in historical and cultural significance that should never be forgotten. Uploading the films to YouTube seemed like the best way to make sure of that.”
Mine (so far) is Lees United v Bradford Park Avenue in a 1952 FA Cup match at Elland Road with the great Mitchell Downie (remember him?) in goal for Avenue.

lol Sultan, would have made a good sketch for Enfield and Whitehouse.
They were wonderful.
Funny thing, in those days you'd go to the cinema but not plan when you were going to arrive.
So you'd walk in halfway through the movie usually, watch it and then watch the other film that was on. Then when the movie that you'd seen the second half of started you would watch it until you reached the part that was on when you arrived in the cinema.
Then you'd say to whoever you were with, this is where we came in, and leave. Weird.
Or was that just me older readers?
