Main section This is Direct Television from Alexandra Palace Having worked in the BBC Television Service during its pioneering days, (I started in 1952) these are some of my personal experiences and memories. If you want to know what it was like in the days when television was young and actually fun to be in, then, as Sylvia Peters used to say every day in the morning Demfilm - Now's your chance, as we bring you once more - - - - In other sections The Complete Waltons Synopses This section, which is also part of the Waltons WebRing, contains the complete Synopses of The Waltons tv series. Also the Waltons articles and pictures from the BBC's Radio Times (1974).and Waltons article and pictures from the TV Times (1990) and an interview with Judy Norton ('Mary Ellen' in the series). Scrap Book Dive in and find - The Epson Saga; Looking Back; Crazy Corner; Gripes, Moans and things; My Heart Condition; a brief autobiography; - and any other 'bits and pieces' that may crop up. What's New? Here you will find a note of any significant changes or additions to the site. On the other sites - The Basingstoke Canal This waterway is generally regarded as being one of the most beautiful in the United Kingdom. In the January 1997 edition of Waterways World it was stated that the Basingstoke Canal provides "the perfect antidote to modern living", the opportunity to "relax among the lilies, the kingfishers and endless dragonflies" and to enjoy a "level of peace and tranquility which is becoming harder to find". See for yourself in these pages how the canal was restored and brought back to life, and is now a public amenity for everyone to enjoy! The site is currently being redesigned and expanded, going online progressively during 2000-2003. The Wey & Arun Canal The Wey & Arun Canal runs through Surrey and West Sussex in Southern England. Much of the canal is no longer navigable - the Wey & Arun Canal Trust aims to restore the Wey and Arun Canal back to navigation. When it is restored, there will be an inland waterway link from London, via the rivers Wey and Arun, to as far as Littlehampton on the Sussex coast. The Trust has several ongoing restoration projects, and lengths of the canal are now in water. The Trust's trip boat 'Zachariah Keppel'.
