Remixed version of the Countdown theme. Love it. This should get the grannies grooving.
A sequence from the rarely-seen 1960’s British comedy Smashing Time, starring Lynn Redgrave and Rita Tushingham.
While looking for the film clip of the Abraham Lincoln statue, I discovered this.

Footage of the incredible pillow fight that happened in Manchester’s Albert Square at 2pm on 23 December 2006. Watch a clip on YouTube. And many more if you search for Manchester pillow fight. Photos here.
