An important Monty Python predecessor and arguably one of the finest children's sketch comedies ever produced, DNAYS is certainly something you do not want to miss... This volume features a compilation of classic sketches from the show, including: -Instrumental-The Problems of Falling Over-The Wild and Woolly West-Weather-Hamster Allergies-Post Early for Christmas-Its Lucy!-You're Fired!-Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band-Announcement-Tubas in Moonlight-Fancy Dress for Two-Dog Food-Captain Fantastic-Musicians at WorkVer livro
The author and railway photographer presents a stunning collection of original images showing steam locomotives in action in the mid-20th century. This is the second book from David Knapman’s personal record of railway views that were captured on black and white film in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, until the demise of steam on British Railways. Using the same format as its companion volume, Steam on the Southern and Western, this book presents chapters covering different locations in the Eastern and London Midland regions. Knapman captures branch and mainline trains as well as locations of interest and historical infrastructure. Where preservation starts to overlap with the still active steam scene, some historic photographs are also included. Each chapter begins with an overview of the station it depicts, providing local and historical context. Each photograph is paired with a detailed caption describing the specific trains at work.Ver livro
