"Terminus" is on volume three, "Capital Visit" volume two, "This Year" volume one. Can't find "Bridge of Song" although it sounds a lot like "All That Mighty Heart" which is on volume ten "London on the Move" There's an 18 disc box set which can be had for a shade under £50. http://www.amazon.co.uk/British-Tran...ransport+films michael adams .... -- Colin Rosenstiel |

No-one in London watches London Live either, it gets a staggering 0.05% of the audience :-) The amusing thing is that it gets prime position in the TV listings carried by the Evening Standard. Before they stopped showing the embarrassing (R) indicator for repeats, it was painfully apparent that whatever the channel might be, Live it was not. Lebedev must have bought up all the old TV programmes that even Dave couldn't run any more. The rumours suggest that the channel won't be live in any sense of the word by the end of the year. |

If you can't find them online then I expect that the BFI shop will be able to get them for you. Well, here is a good reason for watching London Live, then. They are also showing a season of the other films the Ealing Studios made. At one time both the BBC and Channel 4 used to show such out-of-the-mainstream items - before they became ratings-obsessed. London Live may not last too long - but, personally, I'm grateful for any initiative that gets this material before the public. BTW, all four of the films mentioned are on BFI BTF DVDs - and they are generally all much cheaper from other suppliers than directly from the BFI :) PA |

I was assuming they were to be broadcast free to air and maybe on web sites, not being familiar with London Live. I'm not interested enough to buy DVDs. It looks as if I'll be able to watch on their web site. -- Colin Rosenstiel |
