I highly recommend following the BBC Archive on social media. You never know whether you're going to see a video about a hair salon from the 90s, a hippie commune from the 60s, or a clip of model tank enthusiasts from the 70s.

I really need to see this. Along with the hair salons of course.

edit: oof! Never mind.

There is some cringe in that video that makes me not want to share it.

That looks like Steve Jackson and Friends!

I could swear that's them. Big gamers. One of the best groups to play!

Looks like some sort of interview they gave. Makes sense considering some would consider him (and Ian) the father of D&D in the UK (not all, some....).

Of course, that's when he was younger.

Gosh...that was awhile ago now that I think about it, but it seems just yesterday sometimes.
