Has it really been thirty years since the ‘Stop the Planet of the Apes. I Want to Get Off!‘ segment first went out on TV? It’s still fantastic.
There’s also a very nice article on ‘The Vulture‘ that dips into the history of it’s production.

Boxing Day Sunrise Timelapse from Malton across the Yorkshire Wolds – Noir
My Boxing Day 2025 timelapse – this time in black and white.
The Bone Temple / Hildur Guðnadóttir (2026)
Utterly lovely.
Welcome to the Machine/ Pink Floyd (1975)
It looks like the Pink Floyd team have commissioned a new music video to an old song. I like it and think the grainy Scifi-esque landscape works really well with the dystopian nature of Welcome to the Machine.
P-P-P-P-P-P-P-P-Pancake Day!
Blur’s Song 2 – But every “woohoo” is done by Mario

Saltburn Cliff Tramway – A Black and White Timelapse

The Masterplan / Oasis (1995)
So The Masterplan is 30 years old today. Do you feel old yet?
The Lonely Shore / BBC (1962)
The BBC archive has just thrown up this lovely little clip. Shot in 1962, this short Ken Russel piece can only be described as a post apocalyptic archeological report. It has good fun misidentifying various pieces of 60s paraphernalia and contains a couple of sly digs at archaeology’s propensity to call anything it doesn’t understand ’religious’.
It also has a few subtle hints as to the nature of this post apocalyptic world; there’s still no mass production, no knowledge of radiation, nor (given the ignorance of the electric fire) apparently, electricity. Indeed, destruction must have been almost total – no books, no photos, no pictures. Even no real oral history.
The BFI also has a nice article on The Lonely Shore here.
