Going back to Cleops channel they have uploaded more full episodes starting from episode 2. Those big graphics are quite something aren't they?
"Warley, Birmingham"? A classic example of whichever part of Warley Mr Davies was from being too small or obscure for anybody outside the region to actually know, so its easier to say he comes from Birmingham because everybody knows where Birmingham is - they wouldn't have the foggiest about anything more local than that... Although Warley hasn't existed as, well, anything really since 1974, its one of those historical names that is still floating around today. Royal Mail kept insisting Warley was part of the postal address for years afterwards, well into the 1990s at least.
Anyway that aside, interesting to see style clashes that you tend to see in the 1970s, you have a "big" 70's style font and a smaller Gill Sans number font, presented in the style of an old school style train departure board, and a totally pointless clock for the assault course, because lets be honest, who cares if they can run it in 84 seconds? You get the 10 points if you do it in two minutes or two days providing you cross the line first. Wasn't particularly camera friendly though, looks like they were covering a horse race!
