This is very interesting, thank you for this.

Yes, it was very interesting.

Funny you should post this as I'd happened to watch it the day before your post. It just appeared in my YouTube feed, so I thought I'd take a look. It looks like it was posted at least a year ago, so it's interesting that we should both be suddenly pointed to it after all this time - guessing that you were 'pointed' to it in your 'feed' too. I suspect that there are a lot of other folk that tend to 'look' at certain content that got directed to this particular video, but why it suddenly happens after a year or more is another matter.

Yes it did appear on my feed along with a few others, but this one really held my attention.

Well, I don't have a YouTube feed, so thanks for posting this.

I found it very interesting as well.

YouTube is a really good source of Documentaries of all genres.

I too have seen this and recommend it to anyone who hasn't. An interesting watch.

I remember watching this last year. I believe the presenter was a prolific collector of pre-war television sets.
