Moving away from TV Pres bits if it is allowed is an excellent YouTube creator of content called Don Coffey. He is a train driver for one of the train operating companies here in the North of England and Scotland. He features can rides aplenty on his channel and I don't mind spending a good few hours watching on of these well produced videos.

The one featured was filmed by a friend of his who works on the Manchester Metrolink. The video features onboard views from the can plus additional - to use the phrase - "fly by" type shots of the trams passing by the areas. The one featured is the one that starts in my old stomping ground of Ashton-under-Lyne and heading to Eccles with a little stop by MediaCityUK. Enjoy.

Nice find, Aaron. I seem to have developed this weird admiration for trams - I think it comes from my granddad who was a massive trains geek, bless him.

There are loads of tram cab view videos on YouTube which I find soothing, visually interesting, relaxing, and so on. It's a nice way to see a city you may never have visited before.

In my last year as a student in Sheffied, I was a "customer care ambassador" - basically, I took payments and issued tickets after the firm essentially moved from machine ticketing to on-board ticketing. I did it for 6 months and loved it - fab people worked there.

This takes me back half a lifetime now!

EDITED: Unforgivable word repetition within the same sentence. Tsk.

Thanks first for the little insight and second for the video. I have saved it into my watch later and will be enjoying it this evening.

A relatively new channel specialising in finding the last resting place of famous people:

Second channel recommendation.

Here is a channel called MIKAN that features various marble / particle races made in Algodoo and Unity software. Here is the first marble race. The videos can last up to with the longest video two and a quarter hours, yes you read that right TWO AND A QUARTER hours. Here is one of the early ones at a simple six-ish minutes.

He also has two channels that are dedicated to ones made in Unity software "MIKAN 3D" and "MIKAN VR". This is an example of that style.

Here's an interesting channel if you're into your Technology Connections, as its very similar, except using 3D animation built in Blender.

If you've ever wondered how bowling alleys and in particular the pinsetter machines at the end of the lanes work, wonder no more:

Though only a couple of weeks ago I went to a brand new alley which had one of those setups where the pins are attatched to strings, which always disappoint me You know all the machine has to do is pull the strings back up.

A fascinating documentary on a little-heard US breakfast show, whose format some of you may find familiar:

[BlueFrog]

I'm not sure whether this would fit in The Gallery or here but I have collaborated with some of my friends (including one who's really good at making mockery) to form a satirical fast-paced web-series digging deep into defunct and otherwise, obscure UK television networks.

This particular one embedded is about Trouble;

This is really good, can't wait for many more in the future.
