![]() 11'45" minute film from 1924, part of the "Wonderful London" series produced by Graham Wilcox Films and directed by Harry B Parkinson & Frank Miller. Released in 2012 on a BFI dvd ![]() with 11 more of these films (apparently there were 20+ altogether). It's the first of the 6 extras on the DVD, and the first which hasn't been sepia-tinted and looks as if unrestored or less restored than the main six. End frames have this list ![]() ![]() .. with minor grammar error and slightly puzzling jump in numbers. Can be seen on youtube and on BFI site. Slightly odd film - nothing of imcdb interest in first 6 minutes as it visits various locations with actors dressed as Dickens character, then becomes a surreal fantasy as all the characters meet up and go for a bus-ride. Stray bus picture at 07-41 ![]() .... showing Redline logo. Not enough else visible to deserve page. -- Last edit: 2016-01-28 03:01:08 |

Redline (A E Brickwood) was acquired by LPTB in December 1933. http://www.countrybus.org/ The bus is probably a Thornycroft ![]() https://www.flickr.com/photos/116071498@N08/17039118841/in/photostream/ |

.... in that case I'll give it a page as we don't have any Thornycroft double-deckers and I can post a few shots with visible detail in case we ever find another. |
