Brilliant. I loved Enid Blyton. Read all the books as well. Lashings of ginger beer.

It's brilliant

If you press the red button on your remote, it changes to English.

But the follow up about the Butcher and Malpas era is the "Comic Strip presents" version

Lashings of ginger beer never was in 5s books, only in comic strip presents.
Although there was lashings of boiled eggs and the occasional lashings of snakes.
Good old QI

Better getting it on On-Demand, then you can still have it in HD. TV in SD is second rate, though it does add to the Eastern German feel of the show, I suppose.

This came up on the iPlayer after I finished watching The Impossible Job last night - hadn't seen it before, was a really enjoyable and emotional watch:

Braw and def worth a watch, even though the use of a run-down Meadowbank for much of the presenter's pieces to camera and the re-enactments is odd. Some odd choices for the soundtrack too, apart from SoL towards the end which does make for an emotional ending.

Yeah the micro budget can't be hidden, and some bizarre choices as you say (though I presume they used Meadowbank specifically because it looks run down), but I thought it got all the important things right - pretty much a chronological telling of how they got to Hibs, followed by the impact they had, with some really interesting and touching contributions from family members, Irvine Welsh and of course, Lawrie Reilly and John Ogilvie (his "no danger" interjection was possibly my favourite bit of all).

Also didn't make any bones about how revered they were at that time - and still are, obviously.

[Stevie Reid]

Also, for all people talk about the OF monopoly now, it's staggering to think that between Third Lanark in 1904 and us in 1948, Motherwell's one Division One win was the only time the league wasn't won by Rangers or Celtic.

And this of course, which presumably any Hibby who has ever been on You Tube will have seen already.....

Just watching this on alba. Some of the footage of training has a green and white quartered top. Was this just a training top or totally unrelated to us?

[KWJ]

Is this the programme that the Erin Hibs boys were involved in for some of the recreations or was that something else?

[Billy Whizz]

Think Oli Shaw is the only one of the 5 young lads who played the parts, who’s still at Hibs

I watched it yesterday on Alba and it was really good.

Well, all except the Irvine Welsh contributions, as he sounded like a drugged up Ned that had never learnt to speak properly.

[nonshinyfinish]

This is a good watch, but what's up with the camerawork? Randomly panning about and zooming in on the presenter.

I get that they want to do something other than just 'presenter stands on Arthurs Seat with ER in the background', but it's just irritating.
