Old British documentary channel on YouTube with 70s/80s/90s films

I found this channel after the following documentary came across my feed a few days ago:

(1997)

I realise these are not pleasant subjects, but they're extremely interesting and evidence of how things have progressed, albeit not very much in some instances. It suggested Grove afterwards, and here are a few of the films I think Mumsnet might find interesting:

1. Documentary about women who gave their babies up for adoption in the 1950s and 60s.
2. Documentary about five women who killed their partners after years of mental and physical abuse.
3. Documentary about prison officers and prisoners in Holloway Prison.
4. Documentary investigating how the police and social workers look into allegations of child abuse.
5. Documentary in which women talk about the phenomenon of abandoned babies.
6. A two-part investigation of the dangers facing teenagers who leave home for the bright lights of London. The End of the Line followed the case histories of Tommy, a 12 year-old Scottish boy, and Annie, a 16 year-old girl hardened to her homelessness.

There are a lot of films, some of them are dramatisations of something, but the channel is mostly factual stuff.

Thanks, OP, will take a look.

I get a lot of 'old' documentaries on my YT page and and watched a few myself recently about living on the breadline / close to poverty in the 80s and it's sad that in that case, many things haven't progressed apart from now of course we have things like food banks. I'm sure there have been other improvements but seeing people with the same struggles 40 years later, like being unable to heat their home, is heartbreaking.

Yeah I know the ones you mean. I want to watch them from a perspective of seeing how we used to do things, Vs how they are now and you're right, nothing has really changed. One of the films I looked at yesterday was about families being put up in one room bedsits. They were so exhausted and fed up. Two cookers to 70 people in one building. Landlord making a ton of money obviously. It was so disheartening when you realise it's still happening now, it just looks slightly different.
