Residing in deepest East Yorkshire I am fast approaching the Big-50. Some of my fav. British films, in no particular order are : This Happy Breed, The Railway Children, Great Expectations, Hobson's Choice, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Thirty Nine Steps (Robert Donat version), Great Expectations, This Sporting Life, Billy Liar, The Italian Job, Oliver!, The Battle of Britain, Life Of Brian, and anything starring Arthur Lucan as Old Mother Riley.



If anybody is interested in the life and career of Arthur Lucan, I can recommend a visit to my website....The Arthur Lucan/Old Mother Riley Website This is the only website on the net solely dedicated to the great man and his career.



I look forward to reading around here and getting a feel for the place.

Fancy meeting you here!



Hello from another 405 television enthusiast from the vintage radio forum who is just about to post his own introduction.

Hello,



I have found my way to this forum from one on the collecting and restoring of vintage radios and other vintage technology.



My primary interest in this field is the technical side (the hardware - to borrow a term from computing), but I am also interested in the software of vintage broadcast material - especially documentary footage about technology.



Best wishes to everyone on this forum, and please bear with me as I find my way around within this community which is new to me.

Hello Stevedr - you're in good company here.

[AliceinWonderland]

Hi I'm new my name is Kelly from Canada. Favourite film is Brighton Rock, just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to everyone

[Howse]

Hi everyone.

I have interest in films from the 50`s and 60`s. I tape a lot of films from daytime Channel 4. Some films I cant remember ever being on tv or released on tape or dvd. Some of the films I would like info on may have been made in America but because of the actors and storylines appear to be british.



Has anybody any info on the following films and whether they are available:-



The Hellions with Richard Todd which I believe was based in South Africa



Light up the Sky with Tommy Steele and based on an Anti Aircraft gun crew



Where the Buffalo Roam which was a BBC play with Hywel Bennett



That is just for a starter more will undoubtidly follow and will say thanks in advance

[Mr Cosmo]

Welcome to Dave. Kelly and Howse. BTW Howse - there is a thread on WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM on the "Looking For Video" thread so you may get lucky.

Look forward to your posts - and Kelly - nice choice with BRIGHTON ROCK, but the one thing that cracks me up on that film is when Richard Attenborough says to his girlfriend' "How old are you?" and she says "17" and he says " Me too". I never fail to fall off my chair at that.

Nice site Sam, I look forward to a Melanchic Chart Toppers section for you long-suffering Coventry supporters.:

Just incase you do not know me I am Robert and my love is for British films and BBC TV programs from the 1960's, 1970's & early 1980's with a main focus on Alfred Hitchcocks silents from the 1920's and his early talky's from the 1930's (Yes I know the silent and sound versions of 'Blackmail' are both from 1929) while my TV favorites include Dads Army, Adam Adamant Lives, Out of the Unknown & Doctor Who. I love to see longer edits and studio material from these shows as well as from others.

Yes I agree this is one of the nicest forums around with friendly people and lots of knowledge.

Hi everyone,



My wife is a huge fan of British TV/Film and I agreed to set up an account so we'd have a place to discuss some of the best programming in the world!



Thanks,

I am a new member of the forum. I am a retired librarian and I live in the United States. I have been interested in films for all my life. I greatly enjoy British films and have many in my collection, especially Hammer films. The forum will be a great place to learn and share more about films.
