Charleston Dancing Pier to Pier
MyCharleston dancers are toe tapping their way around some of the south coast’s most iconic landmarks
MyCharleston, showcases their students dance talents in a new video entitled ‘Charleston Dancing Pier to Pier’ which brings together dancers on their local piers in Brighton & Hove, Portsmouth, Worthing and Isle of Wight.
MyCharleston co-founder, Elena Collins says ‘Pier to Pier is a celebration of the beautiful places we teach in and the vibrant people that live there. We wanted to show-off these stunning grade listed piers which are on our doorsteps and demonstrate the towns are dynamic places full of talent.’
The film includes Brighton Palace Pier, Worthing Pier, South Parade Pier in Portsmouth which reopened in 2017, Sandown Pier on the Isle of Wight plus a dance around the twenty-four cast-iron columns now standing by the British Airways i360, which were originally part of the substructure of the West Pier in Hove. The West Pier, is the most at risk Grade Ⅰ listed building in the UK but it’s still the most photographed location in the city.

University Challenge S46E22 Robinson - Cambridge vs Balliol - Oxford
Another Oxbridge fixture, we have here Robinson College, Cambridge playing against Balliol College, Oxford. If you recall the earlier matches, they're not the most exciting teams there are, but there you are. In any case, why would a presumably Jewish guy study Anglican (or Christian, in general) theology in Oxford? Original air date 12.12.2016

About Folk Archive:
Treading the fine line between art and anthropology, Jeremy Deller and Alan Kane selected over 280 elements over a period of six years to form an archive which provides a snap-shot of the state of contemporary folk art in the UK. It represents both artists’ long-term interests in creative practices and artefacts from outside the traditional art world.
My Brother Jonathan (1948) showing Aston Rowant railway station on the Watlington Branch Line, Oxon
A short excerpt from the original version of My Brother Jonathan (1948) showing Aston Rowant railway station on the Watlington Branch Line.
Starring Michael Denison and Ronald Howard in this clip I believe.
Aston Rowant was the next station along from the terminus at Watlington (well, Pyrton actually).
The line closed in 1957, although the station building at Watlington is still there, as is the carriage shed, platelayers huts, coal stage and the brick work of the goods shed.
Thankfully, the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway Assocation has since re-opened the line from Thame Junction to Chinnor and rebuilt the station at Chinnor. See cprra.co.uk for more details.

I learned this from Bob Fox. Yet another song which says, Te the Northern man, beauty is only skin deep.
