When: 1977
Where: Tower Bridge, City of London

Ground Down is the fifth and last of the first batch of TUBE TUBE films to be released (don’t worry more are on their way over the next several weeks/months). At nearly 5 minutes it also the longest, which gives the characters a little bit more time to develop.
Ben Whybrow and James French play good friends discussing a recent mishap related to online dating. Since I don’t want to ruin the surprise, I won’t say anything more, but this instalment has the TUBE TUBE trademark of great dialogue that sounds like something you’d actually hear on the Tube. Director Ben A Williamns and producer Omar Kenawi are to be commended for their choice of actors in this and all previous TUBE TUBE episodes.
Finally, if you’d like to get in contact with them you can follow them on twitter @tubetubelondon, Like them on facebook and watch all their films on their YouTube channel. Also, you can read all my previous reviews of the TUBE TUBE series here.

What: Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Street Party Celebrations
By: Daily Mirror
When: 1977
Story: Photo showing everyday people at a street party honouring Elizabeth II’s 25 years on the throne for her Silver Jubilee in 1977.
I wasn’t even born in 1977, but whenever I see photos or video footage of the Silver Jubilee the thing that really stands out for me are the street parties. I suppose the reason is that Canadians tend not to hold them for the monarchy, despite the fact that Elizabeth II is also Queen of Canada. Just one of the interesting quirks that I’ve come to enjoy from the English.
Second First Date is the 4th film in the TUBE TUBE series. It brings back Nadine Lewington (TUBE TUBE 1 – Bonsai) and Timothy Knightley (TUBE TUBE 2 – Leave To Remain) and places them together in another awkward situation. Given the dialogue, I think it’s fairly safe to assume that each is reprising their respective characters from previous episodes.
Thus, this episode is both satisfying from the point of view of what happens to Timothy Knightley’s character and incredibly sad from the unexpectedly remorseful dialogue given by Nadine Lewington. Overall, another great episode that is made all the better by brining back previous characters.
