Strictly as a service to you British Pathe fans who were thwarted in your attempts to view the content, I have placed a few on my website - see if you can view these. I didn't ask permission and may have to take them down (will immediately if asked to).
They are all quaintly humorous but with some good vintage content.
You should probably save them to your hard drive, then play, rather than attempt to view them in streaming fashion as they download.
