Somebody on my f-list posted this link in the context of Doctor Who, but I thought ya'll Indeed Sirers would find it interesting too. It's a film (in colour!) of London in the 1920's. And the breakaway panels are full of bad puns. Corking stuff.

Very interesting. (And the puppy at the end!) Thanks for sharing this.

I have to say, I find it very disconcerting to watch a film in total silence.

That was wonderful! And very interesting!

Did it seem to anyone else that there were no lanes for motor traffic? It struck me in particular in the scene with the policeman directing traffic--all the vehicles were sort of crowded up behind him any-which-way.

Really nifty, thanks for sharing!!

Yes, the traffic scenes were really interesting. Bertie mentions in a couple of the books that he won't even converse with a fellow passenger while he is driving in the city for fear of losing his concentration and ending up in an accident. It seems there really was quite a bit of mayhem on London streets in those days.

Oooh, stunning! I love this sort of thing so much. Since we're looking at really early color footage, I just have to share this -- leaves me misty-eyed every time I watch it:

I know, right? What are they going to come up with next, talking pictures? Pfft.

This was absolutely smashing! Thank you for sharing!

I am quite amused to see that London really hasn't changed all that much in almost a century. :)
