Recently Bernard presented

Here were family films from the 1960s, documentaries
covering the period before and just after the war, the Beegees revisiting
Chorlton and reflecting on their first live performance at the Chorlton Gaumont
in 1955, as well as scenes from Stretford pageant 1930 & 1931, and the
Horse and Jockey in 1949 which featured in a short film Bella's Birthday.
