Thread Name: Meet the British-short government-sponsored films
Subject: Meet the British
Anybody catch this compilation of short government-sponsored films intended to portray an "ideal version of Britain" to foreigners (BBC4)? Some gems from the 60s and 70s and generally a good laugh - UK viewers can watch on iPlayer:

There was a brief glimpse of Moulton Morris dancing at (I believe) the George Inn at Southwark in the opening sequence - probably 1979-ish. A bit fuzzy, but the musician (back partly to the camera) is almost certainly Dave Jolly, and it looks like Barry Care dancing at Number 1.
