I was a teen in the 70's so some of this is before my time, but what an intersting snapshot of Oxford. Great video, and I loved everybody's reminisces.
Fantastic! How wonderful to see Oxford in the 60's. My parents were teenagers in this era and I came along in the 70's. It does all seem like another lifetime, a different world and I miss the simplicity. My daughter did some courses with Film Oxford and is now studying film at Salford Uni. Well done for putting this together, I know how many hours and immeasurable patience went into it.
One Oxford character I can remember from the 60s and beyond was "Joyce." I recall being ushered across the road in St Aldates by my parents as Joyce swept down the street in a pair of ladies slacks and a chiffon scarf. He was quite a character! I worked in Oxford in the 80s and I saw "Joyce" knocking on the window of a bus in Gloucester Green to attract the attention of a man that he had taken a shine to. Joyce was as camp as Christmas, a complete extrovert - and at times, an embarrassment. He blazed a trail at a time when homosexuality was illegal. In his prime he was a sight to behold. Britain needs more eccentrics.
Yes I remember Joyce very well, a real eccentric, and completely fearless. Someone sent me an article recently about Joyce, it was from BBC Radio Oxford, entitled, Thomas John Joyce, interesting read.

Excellent. I was in the Twist and Shake group contest on 22 June 1964 (poster about 2 mins 50 seconds in). Great memories.
Thank you so much ! Beautiful result of all our hard work that we have done . It has been an honour to work with you all!

Good to see Pete Peterson and Adrian Hopkins in this great video.
My husband is oxonian and spent most of the 60's riding his bikes and scrapping 🤣🤣 he was quite well known in oxford
Well done Tallulah and whole group.
Anyone remember the catacombs
Not a single "Oxford" accent to be heard in the whole video. 0:40. Nice tandem though!
Ma & Pa & 2 kiddies. No helmets in those days.
