W O W !!

A really interesting item. Great to see Derek Simmonds in his prime,and bringing back to me happy memories of many a trip down to Dudley for those memorable Sunday open days..... just wish I had bought even more films than I did do at the time!
Keith Wilton's "cinema house" looks amazing!

Thanks for bringing this item to our attention Clinton!

30 years ago and I remember it well. Those sons of Keith are proberably our age. It on one of the Armchair Odeon DVDs releases.

Certainly will be Mike as i was Keith's eldest age, or thereabouts back then by the looks of things. [Smile]

They don't appear to have caught the bug though surprisingly. [Big Grin]

Comments were passed at the time how happy they looked. I think it was a case of there is a BBC film crew here participate or you are grounded this weekend. I often wonder if that segment would have ever appeared when Barry Norman presented the Film programme. The Michael Parkinson period opened the programme up to be more like Clapperboard.

Funny, I wold have watched that programme every week staying up late just to watch it . Once Jonathan Ross took over it went down the toilet. Does it even run anymore? I know Claudia Winkleman took over after Ross but it literally has disappeared. [Eek!]

Mark Kermode seems to cater for the beeb now in this dept Mike.

it'll all be on iplayer now in this day and age. [Big Grin]

I had a happier face in 86 than Keith's two there, I can assure you. Projector at hand or otherwise ! [Big Grin]

Thank you for finding that! [Smile]

Fascinating viewing! I've seen the sections shot on film (without MP's intro) projected at one or two conventions, because although it was never released, Perry's produced one or two prints on Super 8, that I'd guess were ordered by Keith Wilton. He must have been in a good postion to borrow the master material!
