Didn't quite know where to post it as it is not just The Sweeney it featured in and don't know if it it's been posted before but come across a Thames TV local programme/documentary from 1978 about the long gone Jock's Cafe in Colnbrook which featured in a load of things we like in addition to The Sweeney, The Pro's and many other programmes from the 60's to 80's period.  IIRC it's a souless Holiday Inn now built mid 2000's.  Only watched it quickly but seems a good insight into a fly on the wall world perhaps no longer around now, shame we can't get a fry up there now.  |

What strikes you about this is how long she spends talking to the people, about 8 minutes with the first person. Today they don't even give 'important' people that much time to speak on tv. I'm certain people in general were much calmer then, people today seem to be on edge constantly...or is it just me?

A lovely time capsule, very enjoyable. I dream of finding a cafe like that now, so I can loaf and drink tea while my motorcycle cools down. I really miss those places.

Gornal Athletic ATV
The link above takes you to the Gornal Athletic website. Scroll to the bottom to view a similar time warp classic from ATV. It’s basically about a colossal p*** up at the football clubs annual dinner. Incidentally, when watching the team from their large terrace you get a good view of the towers blocks featured in the artwork of Led Zeppelin IV.

Thanks everyone, my eyes popped out when I saw the Jock's Café documentary in that list, some good (and not so) good stuff on that Thames TV YT Channel and not just all London centred either. |
