I was looking for a good tourist information video on Weston-super-Mare and I found it!! I live here and the place is just as depressing in 2021 as it was back then. I lost it at the bullet train metal music... Fuking hilarious!!! Great video!
Thanks for rating my video who ever you were! As you can probably tell, the footage wasn't intentionally shot to make a short film, it was simply some old footage I had on a minidv tape of mine. I realised that I could cobble together some kind of spoof film from it, so I wrote the dialogue and did the voice-over.
Used to go there from Cheltenham yrs ago when I was about ten, had fun playing in the mud/sand. Later we moved to Canada but went back in the late 70's to visit relatives etc. A drive to WSM with Nan and Gramp was most memorable because we were able to get permission to drive our car to the end of the pier due to their OAP illnesses (corn, bunions, swollen ankles etc) My Nan couldn't thank them enough...ah the good old days! :)
Oh hey - you've got me interested now - the place is like Southport but on ACID!!! As for the 'thrash metal' trainride - it's hardly 'Songs Of Praise stuff, but I reckon I'd have a go! Love this vid - you've a poetic soul that's obvously been traumatised in some way... but in a GOOD way - because it's given me a laugh, and that's all that matters! :D Neil.
that was a great, I come from Weston and a few friends mentioned there was a good spoof tourist film about the place and I'm guessing this is it! good work and added as a favourite
Thanks! I'm sure it takes massive talent to make a sincere low-budget tourist info film that doesn't end up being unintentionally laughable. I've never seen one myself.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it. It's comments like that which edge me ever nearer to getting off my backside and making some more short films.
Good Video I Used To Live There I Was Born In Bristol And Lived In Weston All My Life Untill I Was 11. Then I Moved To Canada Almost 3 Years Ago In Augest Because Of My Dads Job. Canada Is Very Nice But I Miss The Beach And The Pier.
Thankyou! You may enjoy the sequel I made to this video, and the spoof rap I did about the burning down of Weston pier. Both can be found in my channel of videos (somewhere).
I'm still surprised people are finding this video and enjoying it! Great! I'll upload my new video soon. It's similar in style I guess, but it's about Bath Abbey. It's 20 minutes long though... so either I upload it in parts or go for a Director account.
Had a look around WSM pier yesterday. Unfortunately the 'bullet train' wasn't there anymore (maybe they used to keep it indoors over night?), but there was a booth about a third of the way up that had Fosters on tap...
@SteveTheCart Entrance is free (and free). Welsh is the common tongue because Wales can be seen from WSM on a good/bad day. Electricity is in abundance, as are roads, and WSM boasts two types of water. For more answers (and questions) check out my channel and find part two of this documentary (the winter edition).
*snort* I love how this appeared on the google video homepage the day my parents tell me I have to spent my summer at W-S-M. I am now overcome with excitement.
Thanks for the comment. I noticed that this video of mine was featured on some Yahoo page the other week with a tiny description. They still managed to get two facts wrong though.... I didn't grow up there... and I'm not ridiculing Weston either, it's more an affectionate bit of gentle ribbing.
Thanks for the comment. How recently are you referring to when you talk about complaints in the local paper?!?! Would like to have a look at those! haha. You're right, so many people have no sense of humour at all. I made the film(s) and I love Weston... I would live there if my job was near enough... and that's not a joke!
haha.. thanks! I am just polishing off a new short film that is similar in style, but about Bath Abbey. This new one should be far more polished than this one was, and it's also going to be about 20 minutes long! Enough to bore anyone to tears!
The first article was about 3 or 4 weeks ago now, so this must be a new one. Hopefully the guy who did the article will be sending me a copy so don't worry about typing it up. Thanks for the offer though!
Ah.. that's okay then, I thought it was a new wave of hate! haha. I actually got my big fat face in the Weston and Worle newspaper over this film, with me explaining how I wasn't being rude!
+Proud Design Thanks for the comment. It's amazing to hear that you pass it on to newcomers to Weston super Mare! ha. Pity it's so old and not HD! Did you see the couple of follow up videos I did.... not as good, but have some good moments!
Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it. Check out my channel to see the sequel: Weston Super Mare Film 2: Winter Edition. Still no carnival in it though.
Hey thanks! Has a new article been published? Just wondering, because after the first article appeared I was contacted by the journalist that wrote it, and I answered some questions for a possible follow up article!
Great vid - the first time I watched the artist's impression of the 'bullet train' I nearly fell over laughing. Can you do a similar film for New Brighton? I think they could do with the publicity :o)
Haha. But wow.. can't believe this video was on the front page of Google Video! You should check out the other WSM themed videos I have made if you want to do some more 'research'. hehe
Hey there. I think I made this video in the autumn 2005. Can't remember exactly though. What is your job on the pier? You don't drive the 'Bullet Train' do you?
Bizarre but fascinating place. Is it possible to visit freely or is special permission required to enter the town? What language, if any, do the inhabitants speak? Do they have electricity? Roads? Water? This documentary leaves so many questions unanswered.
Hey! Thanks. Can anyone tell me if this is being featured somewhere on the net? The reason I ask is that it's suddenly getting a lot of viewers. Is it on some other website outside of youTube? Just wondering.
livedin weston for nearly 21 years got to say this is hilarious f**k the people who wrote into the local papers complaining they obviously have no sense of humor
Thanks! If you have time, you may want to check my channel out to see the sequel I made to this.... and also a spoof rap about Weston pier burning down.
yea dude this is the sort of thing that me and my mates like to make, our website will be up soon, but not yet (www.eternalsilence.co.uk for future reference)we do all kinds of short vids, comedy sketches, mindless fun, general funny stuff. website should be up in about 2 weeks. unfortunately a lot of our stuff was lost when my hard drive broke :( but we are making more. great inspiration. we are in Bridgwater btw.
Weirdest comment for a while that one. I'm not entirely sure I get your drift. You're either saying that I'm gay, or I'm fat.. or both! Well that's for me to know, and you to dream about.
I bet the council or the owners of the grand pier burned it down. I mean the owners were really not making much money with what the old pier could hold inside, due to poor Victorian metal beams and supports inside. The new structure can hold the new grand prix inside + other heavy fun rides etc. Based on this then we can all come to the conclusion that the fire was deliberate. I mean even the council win as the more money the owners now make the more the council get. See what I mean??
Glad that someone else sees the truth. How the hell can that plastic shite replace the wooden beauty of the old wooden pier. The bloody council had something to do with it as it was going to cost them shit loads to replace all the wood and maybe metal as that had been neglected for so long and exposed to the salt water that it had possibly corroded through.
i used to love sitting on the pier rolling up a joint, smoking it on there as well. Death metal or wtf the crap is called like is played at 2:10 in the vid is very unpopular, and as a mark of our culture we will kick the shit out of anyone that plays it. HTID
Every few years I have to trawl through UA-cam to find this and send it to someone who's mentioned Weston.
A UA-cam classic.
I was looking for a good tourist information video on Weston-super-Mare and I found it!!
I live here and the place is just as depressing in 2021 as it was back then.
I lost it at the bullet train metal music... Fuking hilarious!!!
Great video!
It's amazing that people are still finding this video! Thanks for the comment. Good luck with living in WsM!
@@BlueCrayon77 You Tube actually recommended it to me!!
i come down to W.S.M. from Scotland every year. Dam good piss up. Never seen as many pubs in one place. Clairemont Wine Vaults Number 1.
As a resident of Weston Super Mare I am outraged that this video wasn't longer. Well done brilliant!!!
Thanks for rating my video who ever you were!

Great memories!
this is just too brilliant!
Very good. I am an old Westonian, and it made me realise I had done the right thing when I left!!
Oh hey - you've got me interested now - the place is like Southport but on ACID!!! As for the 'thrash metal' trainride - it's hardly 'Songs Of Praise stuff, but I reckon I'd have a go!
Love this vid - you've a poetic soul that's obvously been traumatised in some way... but in a GOOD way - because it's given me a laugh, and that's all that matters!
:D
Neil.
pure genius dude, "speeds slightly in excess of a middle aged man" that one had me in stitches, keep it up!
that was a great, I come from Weston and a few friends mentioned there was a good spoof tourist film about the place and I'm guessing this is it! good work and added as a favourite
Just visited last weekend. OMG what a place!
Thanks! I'm sure it takes massive talent to make a sincere low-budget tourist info film that doesn't end up being unintentionally laughable. I've never seen one myself.
I need to make an updated version! haha
Glad you liked it. I'm so pleased that most people can see that I am not having a dig at Weston. It's an affectionate tease!
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it. It's comments like that which edge me ever nearer to getting off my backside and making some more short films.
Briliant! I live in Weston, and this sums the place up!!! lol
Good Video I Used To Live There I Was Born In Bristol And Lived In Weston All My Life Untill I Was 11. Then I Moved To Canada Almost 3 Years Ago In Augest Because Of My Dads Job. Canada Is Very Nice But I Miss The Beach And The Pier.
Of course...we're big fans...Keep up the good work!
Thankyou!
You may enjoy the sequel I made to this video, and the spoof rap I did about the burning down of Weston pier. Both can be found in my channel of videos (somewhere).
Glad you liked it! Check out the sequel-
Weston Super Mare Film 2: Winter Edition
Thanks for watching!
I only found out recently that Weston is home to the third most amount of recovering drug addicts in Britain! Splendid!
Oh yes its a real joy here that's for sure! ;)
I'm still surprised people are finding this video and enjoying it! Great! I'll upload my new video soon. It's similar in style I guess, but it's about Bath Abbey. It's 20 minutes long though... so either I upload it in parts or go for a Director account.
Yes it is! Well spotted.
Had a look around WSM pier yesterday. Unfortunately the 'bullet train' wasn't there anymore (maybe they used to keep it indoors over night?), but there was a booth about a third of the way up that had Fosters on tap...
Don't worry... I love Weston too!
@SuperMatinator I don't even recall writing that. I was just talking crap in the style of the film itself. Thanks for watching!
@SteveTheCart Entrance is free (and free). Welsh is the common tongue because Wales can be seen from WSM on a good/bad day.

Aaaaah Weston ......The mud, the donkey crap, the brown water, the garbage ....how I miss you
*snort*
I love how this appeared on the google video homepage the day my parents tell me I have to spent my summer at W-S-M. I am now overcome with excitement.
Hey! Now you come to mention it!
He does visit the town twice-yearly after all!
Thanks for the comment. I noticed that this video of mine was featured on some Yahoo page the other week with a tiny description. They still managed to get two facts wrong though.... I didn't grow up there... and I'm not ridiculing Weston either, it's more an affectionate bit of gentle ribbing.
your right i loved tht pier
I'm currently making a sequel which is about Weston Super Mare in the winter. Should be done before the new year. Stay tuned!
Thanks for the comment. How recently are you referring to when you talk about complaints in the local paper?!?! Would like to have a look at those! haha.

Hey thanks! Has a new article been published? Just wondering, because after the first article appeared I was contacted by the journalist that wrote it, and I answered some questions for a possible follow up article!
Great vid - the first time I watched the artist's impression of the 'bullet train' I nearly fell over laughing.
Can you do a similar film for New Brighton? I think they could do with the publicity :o)
VERY GOOD! I make similar videos also in the South West.
Thanks. I'm so glad that the intelligent people of Weston are enjoying the film. Check out the sequel I made (check out my channel to find it).
Just read on the BBC site that the owners are dedicated to rebuilding it. That's something.
Haha. But wow.. can't believe this video was on the front page of Google Video!
You should check out the other WSM themed videos I have made if you want to do some more 'research'. hehe
40p! Outrageous!
Hey there. I think I made this video in the autumn 2005. Can't remember exactly though.
What is your job on the pier? You don't drive the 'Bullet Train' do you?
Ha ha. Great story. Did you manage to catch the 'Bullet train' then? hehe

Bizarre but fascinating place.
Is it possible to visit freely or is special permission required to enter the town? What language, if any, do the inhabitants speak? Do they have electricity? Roads? Water?
This documentary leaves so many questions unanswered.

Hey! Thanks. Can anyone tell me if this is being featured somewhere on the net? The reason I ask is that it's suddenly getting a lot of viewers. Is it on some other website outside of youTube? Just wondering.
livedin weston for nearly 21 years got to say this is hilarious
f**k the people who wrote into the local papers complaining
they obviously have no sense of humor
it was just after that the local media found out that it had gone online
Seaford Town is nothing like Weston-Super-Mare, well just a little, we do have the Rollin Stones now and then..
the "bullet train" has gone up to 40p now.
and I had to clean my own seat cos it was pissing it down.lol
@SuperMatinator There's a part two to this video if you check my channel. The Winter Edition!
I think your arrows are now pointing at the wrong person. haha.

Thanks! If you have time, you may want to check my channel out to see the sequel I made to this.... and also a spoof rap about Weston pier burning down.
@BlueCrayon77 WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT? The language is not welsh!

Really.
Headline news??? HAHAHAHA. Is that true? I live in Bath, so had no idea. Anyone got a copy of the article?
yea dude this is the sort of thing that me and my mates like to make, our website will be up soon, but not yet (www.eternalsilence.co.uk for future reference)we do all kinds of short vids, comedy sketches, mindless fun, general funny stuff. website should be up in about 2 weeks. unfortunately a lot of our stuff was lost when my hard drive broke :( but we are making more. great inspiration. we are in Bridgwater btw.
It was all an insurance thing - he got so much freaking money from that burning down. It wouldn't surprise me...
@BlueCrayon77 Lol! Awesome vid though!
Perhaps Coffin's Fish n chip shop can make a comeback?
thats fuckin hilarious!
The North Somerset Tourist Board could learn a thing or two from you.
HaHa awesome
WHAT ABOUT THE FIRE ,,,LOL
it burnt down in 2008
Weirdest comment for a while that one. I'm not entirely sure I get your drift. You're either saying that I'm gay, or I'm fat.. or both!
Well that's for me to know, and you to dream about.
And again, in English..? :-)
Fucking great..... 5*
I remember when this caused mass controversy in Weston
god that town fucking sucks
I blame Bill!!
I bet the council or the owners of the grand pier burned it down. I mean the owners were really not making much money with what the old pier could hold inside, due to poor Victorian metal beams and supports inside. The new structure can hold the new grand prix inside + other heavy fun rides etc. Based on this then we can all come to the conclusion that the fire was deliberate.

Mate are you fucking joking
i used to love sitting on the pier rolling up a joint, smoking it on there as well.
Death metal or wtf the crap is called like is played at 2:10 in the vid is very unpopular, and as a mark of our culture we will kick the shit out of anyone that plays it.
HTID
Yeah I know, I did it LOL
I miss the bullet train.
