All The Fun Of The Fair ..

[Elina]

Most of us have visited one in our lifetime. This documentary is a look through 200 years of the fair from start to present day. '' The allure of the fairground is how it arrives in our midst & then just as suddenly disappears'' Fascinating!

[Elina]

Try again ..

I give up.

Was it the "Time Shift" Series 11 that you were trying to load Elina?
The one that runs for about 1 hour?

[Elina]

Yes it was lozzy, just can't seem to get the hang of it on my Kindle.

Damn!

AB's server recognises a video (rather than just a link) but can't embed it.

Hang on and I'll give you a valid link!

I was just about to offer to try myself, but if it ain't working for Chris I'd have no chance ;-(

[Buenchico]

Fingers crossed . . .

Aww thanks lozzy anyway! Glad it's not just me. Thanks Buen, wouldn't know how to do that. This series is so interesting! Thanks again to both of you x

You are legendary Chris.

Alas being a lowly colonial BBC won't allow me to view it,,,,but your link seems to work.

[Elina]

That's a shame lozzy.

[Old_Geezer]

Another issue for the editor's code monkeys ?

[1ozzy]

I'm sure they will scratch their armpits and be fed peanuts OG.

Scratch their armpits and eat the findings oz.

Thanks for the link Elina and Chris - loved the programme., However they missed out all the static fairgrounds that were so iconic - Belle Vue Manchester, Blackpool Pleasure Beach, Spanish City at Whitley Bay, Peter Pan's Playground in Southend - and wasn't there one on the coast near Edinburgh?
OH used to work the dodgems at Belle Vue...and the rifle range....

[Elina]

Hi Mosaic, very interesting wasn't it. I think they were concentrating on the travelling fairs. I was taken to Belle Vue regularly as a child, have old movie film of it. Thanks for your input x
