I’ve been watching the above series on the unlikely channel Spotlight TV (376 on Sky) every Tuesday at 6pm. Each programme features Pathe news reels from a certain year. Featuring clips from the time, these are a fantastic record of the life & times of days gone and lost. Set your boxes to record these, you won’t be disappointed.

Sounds like good viewing, just a shame it doesn't appear to be available on Virgin TV.
I notice you can watch live though at spotlighttv.co.uk/watch/ so will have to give that a go.

Thanks Steve, I will set my Sky box  The Saint What’s annoying is that even when you do, it cuts off the last few minutes. Happens every time!  |

It may have been a similar show but I think some of these programmes were shown on Channel 5 or another channel in the past, there are 66 altogether from 1930 to 1995.

Thanks for the heads up Steve, I like shows like this. I remember fondly the Rock &Roll Years on BBC many years ago and more recently the Look At Life series from the sixties shown on BBC Four is good. |

The Videoplus method had it sorted in the 90s and was a better system. The tv stations don't keep time very well these days either which is disgraceful. |
