Title: Tele Savalas looks at Portsmouth & Birmingham

Who Loves Ya Baby?

Totally bizarre cinema 'shorts', yet somehow compelling. What's scary is that 1981 looks like the 60's !

Portsmouth was my biggest 'home' town, so I had an interest. Hopefully henny and facemask will enjoy the Brum one though  :)

These are great, I've seen the Brum one before, thought the styling was very mid seventies. Looks like he made it to Aberdeen too, shame he never got to Leeds,.................might have been too much for him?

Oh, Greeny, that is pure, pure gold.

       The church you see at the very beginning is from the heart of henwrench's Motherland. My parent's were married there, as kids and teenagers we played and hung out there and it was also the base for 'Yardley Rovers' who I played left-back for. Magic stuff!!

       And good god, 1981?? You're right, it looks like the 60's!! Scary stuff...

       Amazing vid, thanks so much for posting!!

Hoped you'd like it!

How times have changed, eh? There were whole swathes of Portsmouth that were still flattened, bomb-damaged wastegrounds in the 70's and early 80's... funny that Tele never showed those!
