This should have triggered a 1976 amendment to the Trades Description Act.

The first shot of the 1983 series Give Us a Break, directed by David Reynolds, is too good for 1983 BBC. Pan and track across, trains going both ways, bike rider, and ends on a closeup tracking shot of Robert Lindsay. Amazing.

Yes it really caught my eye on that sequence of clips.

The Story of Whirligig
YouTube video by Paul Hayes The Story of Whirligig

Exactly 75 years ago, BBC Television had just begun regular broadcasting at Saturday teatimes, with the opening episode of Whirligig at 5pm.

Jack Warner in the film The Quatermass Xperiment. Would have been a better Quatermass than Donlevy. But then so would Thora Hird.
