OUTSTANDING. I LOVE GUZ AND AWAYS WILL. KING WILLIAM YARD WELL WORTH A VISIT. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC NOW. THE HOE AND BARBICAN STILL A THRILL. THANK YOU.

loved seeing the saloirs in plymouth in there uniforms

Those beautiful Devon and Cornwall villages. Been to Looe and Polperro many times.

Bloody hell, young ‘Jack’ is covering more miles on his run ashore than the bloody Royal Marines did in the Falklands campaign. But wasn’t life so simple…

And an night in union St.!!!

Heart B Dyna, check this mule out.

I met authentic mules du Poitou last year and they are astounding. Genetically they are very special because they accumulate only the good genes and combine them. So everything is super about them: their health, their coat and hooves (extra hard), their character. Their pace is also extraordinary, they move around in a very elastic feline manner. Incredible animals

awwww would love to see more of him in action. How exciting. What a beautiful boy

And killing animals, pathetic

Iife doesn't make u look harder

i have last saw plymouth in now the year 2042 its has become a horrible doomed place!

ive been ankle deep in that mud next to the slipway at cothele so many times :)

beautiful

Happy the flying Scotsman 100th anniversary

❤ I'm Soo Happy for You, keep going ,Great job.❤

This is an eloquent and thoughtful piece from PT. But I'm not sure about the interviewer. "Life being cicular/cycular"? You cannot just invent words.... Well, most people can't.

10 points.

Thank you so much for posting this. It is lovely... but at 4:45 there is reference to horror:. the totally unsympathetic people unfriendly proto-soviet proto fascist American motor city 'replanned ' by vicious Abercombie. But, thankfully , that is only mentioned briefly and from then on the film is lovely and gentle and there are some very nice parts .. the train , life in the villages . So sad the line was closed. Such beauty lost, such nostalgia. I was eight and living in Plymouth in 1954 My mother was in the WRNS and in the Plymouth blitz. Overall a lovely film.

Would love to know more about him, how long he served ect what he did after the navy?...and info on him?

Born in 1973, I remember good old England/Plymouth. I now live on Mutley Upon Africa. I can walk from one end of the plain to the other & not hear English being spoken!

Delightful. Let's open the borders and see what happens.

I keep thinking of the Navy lark and HMS Troutbridge whilst watching this..

I would love to time travel back to that crab and lobster sandwich shop and just eat them all day for a week, no plastic in seafood then.

Fantastic to watch being from Plymouth and seeing all the places Dartmoor and Look back in the 50.s when I was a teenager thank you.

I need to listen to understand I'm flabbergasted!!!

I'm totally speechless I listen out Pete talking and explaining things about music and it's history how he sees it very intriguing 🤔😃

I certainly had more fun in Union street than walking across bloody Dartmoor. And when did you see Jack not having a pint when ashore.😊

Amazing takes balls to ride them big waves

Before we were invaded

If I may quote Bruce Forsyth from the Generation Game "Didn't he do well ?" Lovely to be able to see the fit slender young man of 20 now a more solid gentleman of 80 odd years having risen through the Naval ranks to a well deserved retirement. Great stuff and well done researchers in finding Lt Com Wyatt RN retired

Shame you didn't cover his actual cross country journey from Tavistock ?

Well reported my friend, kudos Johnny! 🇬🇧 Next time You in the States ring me for a pint ol'buddy

The two badge man (8 years undetected crime) would have been serving in ww2

Things what the Royal Navy does for a free pish up lol

It is a shame there is no train to Princetown now. It would be very popular, especially in the summer.

0:34 The Great Mewstone in the background. Used to be owned by the MOD but it's National Trust now I think.

Quadrophenia is my favorite Who album.

What a precious jewel of a film. I was 2 years old when it was made and watching this has taken me right back. to those days Wonderful filming and a gentle, informative commentary. I also particularly like the music backing - a theme and variations of some sort - I wish I knew what it was. The Sailor looks a lovely likeable lad and I wonder what became of him in later life. All in all this film captures an innocence that seems to have long disappeared from British life and certainly from the current PC BBC where anything goes except decency.

Can I have my world back ?

I joined in 63. This is somewhat patronising.

I can’t believe how weird I was four years ago until someone reminded me of this challenge. Where as my older brother was normal ( kinda)

Wonderful.

The problem with Pete Townshend interviews is they're always a few hours too short.

Townshend is regularly accused of being over-the-top. But I’m pleased he had the humility to decide The Who to play a supporting role in Quadrophenia concept as the soundtrack. It was Jimmy and this fucking Bellboy in the leads. Those identities colliding resonated deeply in me as a very young man in the 80s. The Who kept the energy and context moving along.

Top notch historical documentary. This is the first time I've seen the full length 'version'. Good to see a glimpse of Cornwall, having recently discovered a genealogy link.

Great to see Ivor Doble featured in the video. My Grandfather worked for him for 40 years as a clock maker/repair. A true gentleman and also a former chairman of Exeter City FC. RIP Ivor.

WHY F***'ING BEHIND VERTICAL....

Jollity good what what !

Nice song
