Hopefully a place to share interesting and long forgotten real life documentaries! I have become very interested in these - the three linked below are kind of what I really like. There is an amazing Harrods one, also a Sothebys.

I find it fascinating, the people and the narration too. Can anyone recommend any others please? Some of the 1950s ones I find too bleak…

London gentrification:

Selfridges in the 80s

Holloway women’s prison in the 70s

Selfridges — Just Another Day (29th March 1983, filmed April 1982)

https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/bbctwo/england/1983-03-29This was probably filmed in April 1982.

Well, my links aren’t working for some reason. No idea why, probably also why my thread is dead!

I like some of the BBC Archive posts. Also, Look at Life is on YouTube. This was a series documenting different aspects of life in the sixties and is fascinating. The optimism is very infectious and it is a very interesting insight into a world long gone.

@Violinist64 thank you - I will look those up.
My YouTube feed is throwing up Man Alive docs too
