Britain By Jove DVD

Britain By Jove collects together all 4 episodes of the famous comedy travelogue produced by British Pathe in the 1960s to promote holidays in Great Britain. The shows were presented by much loved ventriloquist Ray Alan and his celebrated companion Lord Charles and filmed in full colour. Lord Charles sets the tone with a rousing patriotic speech that We are living in a touring paradise before embarking on a whistlestop tour of the whole country - England Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland - with his erstwhile chauffeur Cavendish played by Roddy Maude-Roxby. Lord Charles... casts his beady eye over and passes his inimitable comments on places such as :- Cambridge Newmarket Norfolk Broads Burnham Thorpe Chatsworth House North Yorkshire Moors Robin Hood's Bay Newcastle Inverness Edinburgh the Highlands (Lochs Whiskey Distillery Birdwatching Angling and Golfing) Antrim and Londonderry in Northern Ireland The Giant's Causeway The English Lakes Tenby and Portmeirion in Wales Stratford-on-Avon Bath Land's End Torquay Boscastle Mousehole Plymouth Hoe Lulworth Cove London and The Thames (Hampton Court St.Paul's Cathedral Buckingham Palace Piccadilly Hyde Park and The Tower Of London) Oxford Henley Cliveden House Windsor and The Isle Of Man.
