Michael Portillo In Dover
- 28 January 2014 09:31259123Or his jackets Howard.
Roger - 30 January 2014 19:23259406great stuff from mandy on the box earlier, came across in a very professional manner - i see what roger meant about mr portillo's jackets now.
- 30 January 2014 20:57259415I missed it, I'll have to watch it on catch-up later.
Roger - 30 January 2014 21:37259418I really misread this post. I thought the public (closed) lavatory on the promenade was being replaced by a portaloo.
Aren't I silly ? - 31 January 2014 11:30259453
- 31 January 2014 16:20259467Well done on those photos Howard. Hope all those who see them and the program come and visit Dover.
Roger - 31 January 2014 18:43259487that's twice in a short time that dover has been given a free advert by the bbc roger.
the film crew on "the choir" covered all the best bits and "the coast" people turned up on a beautiful sunny day to film some more good bits. - 31 January 2014 22:03259512Can only be good for Dover. Hope we can make Dover Town look good for the visitors who may come here in the summer.
Roger - 1 February 2014 06:53259524You did very well getting those pictures Howard.. never very easy. Ive put a couple too on the Sea News page by way of a wee bit of light relief from all the blasted gales...

also got this one showing an old print of troop movement at Dover Priory. I didn't catch the date.
Some of our historian guys might know the date, but an interesting picture.
email: dover7@msn.com - 1 February 2014 08:40259526Looks like it was before the current building was built, which replaced this Victorian one. Scotchie, Phil Eyden or one of our other historian's (Kath) would know.
Roger - 1 February 2014 13:49259563The engraving shows some of the 25,000 troops arriving for the Easter Volunteer Review of 1867.
- 1 February 2014 16:26259568Thanks Ed. Wow 1867.
Roger - 1 February 2014 17:13259572Good photos there Howard & on the Sea News PaulB, Great programme & didn't Mandy Whall do so well. Love all this positiveness for Dover, this town is a TV star in recent times Go Dover!!!!!
- 2 February 2014 17:36259736Yes Dover has become quite a star on TV...the cameras like it for sure, and yes Mandy was great.
Here are another couple of pictures from the programme. One of Michael Portillo himself entering the gates at the Grand Shaft with his Bradshaw and below another one for Ed to test his historian skills again...
