Another classic - just watched it from start to finish; thanks for uploading that. Good to hear Buster's voice again. You two shot through that Vice just like racing snakes.  :clap:

It's very evenly lit - can you remember what lighting Bosh used?

Watching that Giant's Windpipe bit reminded me of a trip around the same time. A mate of mine was coming through using a carbide lamp with a jar of carbide dangling off the back of his helmet by the lid, as a counterbalance (as was popular at the time). Right in the wettest bit the lid parted company with said jar and the next thing we knew there was a colossal explosion! All we could see of him when he emerged was this apparition with a pair of white staring eyes in the middle of an expressionless black face. It was just like something out of Tom & Jerry! He never did understand why we were all helplessly rolling about in the mud with hysterical laughter for ages. Happy days!

You got any more of those films?

Ah, Harrison's. Still going strong and they're only 100m from my house, which is handy. Great video - was tea and cake always on the cards after a Giants trip? ;)

I dont have any more but Kym will have loads. Probably on VHS though :(

I cant remember what was used for lighting - I will dig deep in my brain.  Kym will know though.

We did a film in White Scar and I hope Kym has that. It was in high summer but we spent so long at Big Bertha and we all got soooooo cold  - had to make a quick exit. We emptied out from the show cave and surprised the coffee stall (that dates it)  lady by asking for eight cups of hot chocolate. The temperature was in the 80s.

Really like the films especially the Bernies bit that proves the Late Breakfast Series name was not due to a flash in the pan or a personal grudge - it just was and we all appreciated it nonetheless.
Great clip
