BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. www.britishpathe.com/
I never tire of watching Pathe films. Love everything about them.
You never see people protesting with the cameraman about being filmed do you?
Its a gem
All pepsi ?
Legendary British toymaker that gave immense pleasure to many .
Leading to hot wheels(the ones i had the most of) being one of my favorite types of toys to play with. Even the cheap plastic ones from dollar tree, i even past a lot of mine to my younger family members
had loads of these in the 50s, all went somewhere.
What charming film footage. It makes a great hobby to find an old toy car, strip it down and repaint and restore them to as new condition 😀 makes a great display when finished.
My friend Carol is in this film on 2.01 approx wearing dark blue , red hair

David Bates oh wow!
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 hello :)
Exploring Into Cars Oh pk
Found her she looks so pretty
1:27- Those beautiful Jag XKE's! (Swoon!)
I bought one from an antiques shop a couple of years ago. Can't tell which of these it is though.
2:11 It's Patsy Stone!
Can you imagine?
"You want me to put those things in these things? Haven't you got workers to do that sort of thing? ... I was hired as one? I thought you just wanted me to wander around looking gorgeous!"
My haven, still love them.
Thank you , I was playing matchbox cars when I was little , and my son play match box cars too now , thank you
I love matchbox cars!
Very interesting on how Matchbox Cars were made back then.
Very nice you can tell a lot of passion went into making them!
I need a time machine.
RIA SPANOU same...
@@isaacsrandomvideos667 If you find one, save a place for me.
up
Same
So do I
I expect this must be the Lesney factory on the edge of Hackney marshes. We used to live about half a mile away. My mum worked there but I can't pick her out in the film. She used to bring home some of the discarded seconds for me. I had a bucket full of Matchbox cars.
Почти полностью ручной труд ! Сколько тепла и души вложено в простые игрушки 🧸! От такой игрушки и ребёнок по другому будет воспринимать этот мир ✌️
0:30 die making. That explains why panel lines were often raised on die cast models and plastic model kits, I'd often wondered.
Great footage. Those lovely cars were my favourites in my childhood. I’m a huge fan of the 1-75 line up of the 70s.
These people took their job very seriously. Would love to work there.
If you want the job now it's in China !!
Neat. Filling each die with a kitchen ladle? And the women sorting (they all looked so nice) must have had a lot of splinters from lack of gloves.
I had a good time being a Welder, but I would have been proud to work making Matchbox cars too. 👍👍Thanks for posting this.
This is fantastic 👍
2:13 she was the factories hottie!
Very good !!
Awesome i love watching videos like this, 2024 and they're STILL Interesting!
Excellent !!
love this video
2:07 That yellow digger is the exact model I bought. I'd recognise it anywhere : )
I bet those Coronation coach models are worth a fortune now.
One mint and boxed set featured on tv's Bargain Hunt recently fetching £100
@@billgriffiths1685 Wow, that sounds a bit low.

Oh my, every kids dreamplace. 😊❤️👍
!Simply awesome !!!!
Eeee ... them were the days!!
cool video
great! thx
What a fun job.
Very cool 👍
Would like this to have been a far more detailed look at how these die-cast models are made from start to finish.
I have in mind; running a hobby store, that's why I mentioned 1/24th scale die cast metal models.
Great film, these classic diecast cars just have something that modern diecast is lacking, perhaps being
designed by a Human verses a CAD Computer ?
I think it is the fact that they are now made using cheap materials and cheap labour in China and lack the passion and care that domestic workers had. BTW CAD still requires a human designer, it can't be done by a computer (yet).
CAD is just a tool... blame MODERN car design... or just blame yourself for having a preference on older car designs...
CAD is not the problem, the problem some times are the designers of some cars, because actually we can find great castings in the mainline of matchbox and other ones that are bad..
That happends too in those old years of 60s, so many great castings and also there was bad castings and the problem was originated by the designer.
So CAD is not the problem.
I have to say though, today’s model cars are near perfect, in every detail!
Think what one of those 1960s designers could have done with modern CAD.
Good old times
I would love to get my hand on the moulds.
Love you
There would be a time machine, for a week to fly in this factory of cars-to type, for memory!
Realmente very good working 👍👌👷🏢💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
My Nan worked in the Lesney's factory (Matchbox) I wonder if she's in this film?
Matchbox ❤️Vintage Retro Cars
Hermosos carritos 😍
Kenapa matchbox yg model vintage&classic Cars tidak beredar di Indonesia?padahal banyak penggemarnya.....
Imagine one of those hot workers bringing home one piece at a time and it won't cost you a dime....
And he'd have the only one there is around
I know I’m a year late but I see what you did there
😁👍Brilliant.
Even toy cars were better back then!
Diecast - one of the best toys ever made....
I loved the way egg heads used to wear white coats.
Proper, realistic looking toy cars. None of that plastic cartoony rubbish you see on toy shelves now.
wow respect these guys who used no CAD 😢. legendary! catia, nx etc.. these are your great great grandfather ya.😊
What’s the name of the music played in this film
Brilliant... I saw most of mine in there! 😏
Could you imagine getting a nice one made of that wonderful shiny metal, and ornately painted wheels with a streamlined foundation and a pop of color in them (like a 1937 Packard rim set) or some other fancy grand choice to separate from the chromed surface of the body. Oh I'd be real swell if they would of done that, but the companies of China decided to destroy MatchBox, aaand real automobiles to the plastic nightmare melting pancakes on ugly wheels you see today.
..........and now, let’s fly to Portland, Washington and visit the Sawyers View-Master factory, shall we?
When the die - cast cars was "Made in England" 👍🏻
Children let me tell you a story, Many , many years ago the uk used to make things and employ people making things , all this is just History now , such a shame .
just 2 minutes?
What kind of pot metal used?
Aluminium
ZAMAK, actually. It's a zinc alloy made with mostly zinc, a little aluminum, magnesium, and copper.@Ivorbiggin
намоленные модельки ( в моём детстве редко у кого такие были , да и сегодня они продолжают радовать )
AMALGAN IS POYSEN
That blonde is fine
When people would go to work looking like they were going on a night out rather than the other way around.
Women have given up on themselves I think.
@@southwest3671 Men too.
I wanted to be the fun boss
🇵🇹
Nice to bad this is all done in China and other places not so nice today.
