BBC Interlude
1960s


BBC Interlude - Palm Beach
1960s
The relaxing sight of a steady tide in warmer climes. This film includes the "Interlude" caption unlike our previous two offerings.

BBC Interlude - Messing About On The River
1960s
Includes the song of the same name, sung by Josh McRae. Written by Tony Hatch, it was a hit in 1960!

BBC Interlude - Flirtation Waltz
1960s
And finally, my personal favourite - Jim Franklin's animation reminiscent of those inserts in Schools programmes. Flash reconstruction, anyone?
