What: Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Street Party Celebrations

By:

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.

TUBE TUBE 4 – Second First Date – Tube Film Series

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.
