A tour of Prisoner locations in Portmeirion Posted by: SimplyPaul
Video duration: 810 seconds Inspired by Catherine Nemeth Frumerman's book, On The Trail Of The Prisoner, I recorded this guide to Portmeirion's Prisoner filming locations while staying in Portmeirion. Shot in 1966 and 1967, this classic series made good use of the quirky architecture of the unusual hotel as 'The Village'.

On Days Like These. The forbidden love between man and motor Posted by: SimplyPaul
Video duration: 151 seconds I bought my Robin Hood III kit car as a pile of bits when I was 25. Having got jolly with my tools for three years, the end result is a thing of beauty, I think. This is my passion, my mistress, my muse... You get the picture. The music playing over this film of me enjoying my motor is by Matt Monro. On Days Like These was used over the opening of The Italian Job in 1969.

Tiny Trains of Bekonscot. 1:32 scale trains at model village Posted by: SimplyPaul
Video duration: 68 seconds Bekonskot is the World's oldest Model Village. It was first openened to the public in 1929 and has made over £4m at current value for charity since then.

The best hotel room in Barcelona... Posted by: SimplyPaul
Video duration: 141 seconds ...that I could afford. Filmed while I was in town for the 3GSM World Congress mobile/cell phone show, this was the best place I found to stay, which wouldn't make my editor and publisher explode when they saw the bill. The price, a mere 50 euros (£35/$70). Related: affordable, barcelona, best, budget, cheap, compact, cut-price, hotel, little, room, small, spain, spanish, tiny, worst |

Video duration: 83 seconds In the early (mid?) 1970's the Monty Pyton team came to Doune near Stirling in Scotland to film several scenes for their film 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail'.

Rendezvous. Speedy fun in a Kit Car. Posted by: SimplyPaul
Video duration: 57 seconds In September 2004 I drove on the Queen's Highway at speeds in excess of 50mph (but not much over- there has been some speeding up of this video) in a Robin Hood kit car which I'd built years before. This is the POV film of me doing it. Music is Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice. Now that's one great music video...
