#steeplejack 🧱 Fred Dibnah, 1979
"I’ve never fell off a big chimney. You only fall off one of them once."
A minor personal irritation:
Whenever politicians on the campaign trail explain that it’s all about “hard-working” or “ordinary people”, it somehow never seems to result in life getting any better for the Freds of this world… let alone do people like Fred any justice by reducing them to merely being “ordinary” 🤯https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp5kxJAhpetllIqykG2kvNLauFaToeMel

On this day in 1974, Emily Redmund from Cumberland spoke to the BBC about fell-talk, a dialect spoken in the Lake District in northern England.
The clip is from a BBC magazine television programme called Nationwide, originally broadcast 23 July 1974.

1964: A Curious Case of Black Magic in Norfolk | Tonight | Weird and Wonderful | BBC Archive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWTw3xoGhg4
„Seit jeher ist Norfolk von Hexerei durchzogen.“ – F.R. Buckley
Chris Brasher berichtet über drei Vorfälle in Norfolk, bei denen es offenbar um Rituale der schwarzen Magie ging. Die Vorfälle ereigneten sich an drei verschiedenen Orten: in den Ruinen von Castle Rising, wo zwei menschliche Puppen und ein Schafherz an die Tür genagelt wurden; in der Bawsey Church, wo ein Schafherz und eine schwarze Kerze gefunden wurden; und in der Babingley Church, wo eine weitere menschliche Puppe, ein Schafherz und eine schwarze Kerze entdeckt wurden. In allen drei Fällen waren seltsame Symbole mit Ruß in den Boden gezeichnet. Was hat das alles zu bedeuten – könnte es sich um einen ausgeklügelten Schwindel handeln? Um etwas Licht in die Angelegenheit zu bringen, interviewt Brasher den Autor und ehemaligen Drehbuchautor F.R. Buckley, der die Ereignisse aufmerksam verfolgt hat. Buckley teilt seine Erkenntnisse über die Symbole mit und bietet eine Interpretation ihrer Bedeutung an. – Ausschnitt aus „Tonight“, ursprünglich ausgestrahlt auf BBC One am 19. Februar 1964.

Just read that 1976 Kraftwerk interview and Florian Schneider mentions Rosemary Brown of England.
Fascinating BBC Archive piece about her (from back when we tolerated eccentrics) #music #BBCArchive history #England

BBC Archive: “Men's Christmas reflections, 1961”
https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/christmas_reflections/zjjp6v4
This is like something from Monty Python’s “Upper Class Twit of the Year Awards” sketch.

Also added #BBCArchive, because of their in-depth coverage of notable historic events like The Great Teletubbies Shortage of '97.

[🇬🇧] Starting the day with this classic 1975 documentary - "The Ghost Hunters", available on the BBC Archive YouTube channel. 👻
Maybe because I was born in the late '70s, I really enjoy TV programmes from that time... 📺 Especially if they're about the paranormal ✨

[💚] Mi komencas la tagon per ĉi tiu klasika dokumentario el 1975 - "The Ghost Hunters", havebla ĉe la YouTube-kanalo de BBC Archive. 👻
Eble ĉar mi naskiĝis fine de la 1970-aj jaroj, mi vere ĝuas televidprogramojn el tiu tempo... 📺 Precipe se ili temas pri paranormalaj aferoj ✨

I'm watching a #BBCArchive clip about a dresser that is potentially haunted as it moves and shakes out the drawers seemingly by itself.
As they were showing some of the equipment they were using to monitor the supernatural phenomenon, I noticed a #ZXSpectrum
That's how I know this channel is legit and authentically British! 😁
