It's all go here while the nation sleeps! Jayne has finished editing the clip and here's what she has just said.... "As it stands, you're on at 0620 and 0845 (on BBC1) And they've given me 5 mins for the film which in news terms is pretty bloody good" (That's this morning of course....)
She's also promised me a video file so if anyone misses it we should be able to access it one way or another!

Jayne has got back to me and Daniel and said "they’ve moved you up the running order. 0620 + 0825. (0825 is better viewing figures than 0845 – it’s THE PEAK SLOT - so this is basically the editor saying how much he loves you both!)
Sounds good and I have watched the rough cut. It looks good to me!

I watched the programme, Jayne was right, Daniel and I got more air time than Trump and Starmer! I think everyone will be pleased.... Now I'm going to bed.

Oh that was really good. I can still remember visiting Grandma Tillotson (Tillum) at the mill. I was 6 or 7 and Oh , the noise!
Thanks Pete 😊. I’m sure we will hear more about the Exhibition. Well done Stanley 👍

Splendid clip. The nation needs a replacement for Fred Dibnah.

I've forwarded the link to people I think should be interested.

Tony Nixon, Chair of Bancroft Trust says I should get an award for an establishing shot with my knickers hanging on the clothes rack.....
It's been a very busy and tiring day but hopefully it will have done some good. Could it be good for Bancroft Engine Trust?
What surprised me was the speed with which the clip spread across the world. All my grand children in Oz have seen it and I know it's in the US and Cyprus!

Well done Stanley! We watched the video posted by Pete and saw you and Daniel on the TV. I've emailed the video to friends who will enjoy it. A peaceful man in a small house in the Pennines erases the image of two American bullies in the White House. :good:

And here's another hero, a little bit younger than you Stanley. Remember Teddy who saved up the chocolate boxes for recycling? I think he's Cathy's hero too! Here he is being celebrated...

Someone had better have the Tea room at Bancroft open.

Isnt it annoying that the Local Bus (1/2/3/4 town service currently run by Pilkingtons) doesnt run at weekends), indeed additional Craven Heritage Tours would be interesting , a problem of not being regarded as a "Moors" (National Park) Location, Or maybe thats how it should stay.

Check Lancashire Life for House Prices - have they gone up !
