  1. I have the DVD set of FOG - from 2017. The original footage required a special projection system.
  2. The Bargee and Painted Boats are available from Amazon surely? BTW The Bargee also features a youngish Ronnie Barker - amazing guy.
  3. The original Radio Ballad "Cry from the Cut" is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/if6pooiimov6l2u/BBC_Midland_Home_Service_-_Cry_From_The_Cut.mp3 https://www.mediafire.com/file/tnvxzh64l2np0ce/BBC_Midland_Home_Service_-_Cry_From_The_Cut.txt Further details can be found here: https://www.cpatrust.org.uk/bham_ballads/ This mentions Sister Mary Ward. Eamon Andrews did a "This Is Your Life" about her. I wonder if the programme still exists &/or if its in the public domain. It would be good if someone could liaise with the Beeb Archives to get this out on a DVD compilation. That's great - thank you.
  4. Another pseudo film: "A Cry From The Cut" ...
  5. Whilst this is not really a film it is on YouTube - I laugh at it every time I play it, and you have to use your knowledge of canals, narrowboats, and imagination to understand all the nuances.
  6. We have a somewhat muffled sound track to: https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/9d4d8f8c3e84469c9e71b92cf5427a37 BBC 1 North West: Ballad of the Northwest: The Cheshire Bowmen - a folk ballad But we'd like the full programme video and (cleaner) audio!!
  7. Don't forget a search on Genome ... https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?adv=0&q=waterways#search https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?adv=0&q=canals#search https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/search/0/20?adv=0&q=narrow+boats#search etc. You might find references to other films at: http://waterwaysongs.info/ Email Ian at: ian@waterwaysongs.co.uk
  8. More of an abusive cult based upon the principle of "if you don't believe what we believe then we can destroy your property, beat you up, or kill you." Now-a-days there's quite a few like that.
  9. Clicking on the link will display a great image of the horse drawn boat and said horse.
  10. Judging by events in the USA - such as in Portland, NYC, et al - its an excuse for intolerance, violence, rioting, and thuggery; and a lack of personal responsibility towards the community.
  11. Britain's oldest horse-drawn barge which once featured in Coronation Street is forced to stop river trips after owner clashed with 'snowflake' canal users who accused her of animal cruelty * Jenny Roberts has run a successful river trip business on her horse-pulled barge boat Iona for 35 years * But 'woke' canal users on the River Wey in Surrey have accused her of 'animal cruelty' towards the horses * Has also suffered a dangerous increase in people paddle boarding waterways and overcrowding footpaths * She says 'snowflakes' have forced her to close her company and retire her three horses early * She has loaned boat to Tiverton Canal Company, whose boss Philip Brind has also received 'woke comments' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8681421/Oldest-horse-drawn-barge-forced-stop-river-trips-clashes-snowflake-canal-users.html ====
  12. Lovely photo here: http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~knibbs/genealogy/Photos/henr1839.htm
  13. Not sure where to put this. Yesterday's "Flog It!" was a repeat from 2016. It was filmed in Northampton / Market Harborough. There was a fascinating 9 min segment about the canals and an interview with a wonderful lady who was but born, lived and worked on the canals. On iPlayer is it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b8lzz1/flog-it-series-15-reversions-episode-2 Or WeTransfer it is here (for 5 days): https://we.tl/t-WKtR5YTOSn The canal bit is from 23:00 to 32:00
