BBC1..7.30pm tonight...Inside Out

[Bielzibubz]

Being aired tonight on BBC1 is a programme consisting, in part, of rare, not seen before footage of Southend on Sea during the 1940's and 50's.

Some of the historic footage features Southend United playing an FA Cup tie against Blackpool in the 1950's with the Shrimpers taking on the talents of Stanley Mathews.

...................................................


This was taken from today's Echo but checking the TV listings for tonight there is no mention of it. I've checked the BBC website and again, no mention of it.

Something doesn't add up!........would be nice to see though.

I saw some on the BBC look East news the other night... they found some old Film from the 1940 to the 60s of life in Southend at the Time in an old shop they where doing up in town... The photographic was the son of the Old Kursal owner i think... and was on the board of Southend United FC and Loved everthing to do with Southend on Sea... The clips I have seen where amazing See Southend playing at the old Grayhound Stadium and even as far back to the old Kusael ground.....

A must for any Southend United Fan or fan of the town

Hopefully the Club or the Supporters club will make a DVD for us Fans to buy ??

This really ****es me off. Really don’t understand why anything southend related is put on BBC Look East. I know technically where are considered as part of East Anglia but who can pick up the dam thing?!? I live in Chalkwell and like my friends who live in leigh, westcliff and southend can only ever pick up either BBC London or the Meridian one.

So where do you live and what BBC region do you pick up with your terrestrial aerial?

Seem to remember my dad can pick up about 6 different versions of ITV from his place near the Bell, but he has a souped up terrestrial aerial on his house.

Its about a homeless shoe shinner :s

That's because it's BBC London not BBC South East :mad: Unfortunately the majority of us living in the Southend area are aligned to the Crystal Palace transmitter and not the Bluebell Hill one which transmits the south eastern regional news programmes.

I've got the homeless shoe shiner, and now the post-code warfare too. Bummer.

 

[SouthendersTrueFaith]

I only caught the last 5 mins but it looked really interesting.They showed Roots Hall and the old Greyhound stadium.Did anyone see it / record it?

 

[blueritethru]

Yer saw it and sky +ed it. Quite good with the football footage from the old ground at Grainger Road, then the Blues being thrashed 4-0 at Blackpool with a certain Stanley Matthews playing:)
