This remarkable film was shot at Alexandra Palace London, in 1898 and shows visitors enjoying the newly installed Switchback Railway, an early ancestor of the modern roller coaster.
The Switchback Railway, with its open carriages travelling over a series of rises and dips, must have seemed wonderfully thrilling to its Victorian passengers. who wern't strapped in and sat on a thin wooden bench
The footage is particularly special because it was made by British film pioneer Robert W. Paul, who had built his film studio nearby at Muswell Hill.

Empty seats are silent seats. Our campaign urging the Club to make prices affordable and Fill Our Home Find Our Voice seeks to achieve
•Cheaper match ticket pricing, particularly for midweek home cup ties
•Extend the Young Adult (YA) category to 18–25.
•Young Adult concessions for all matches.
•Concessions throughout the South Stand for all Children and Young Adults, for every match.
•Young Adult tickets to be available on the Ticket Exchange.
•Opt-in for season-ticket holders to allow their seat to be resold at the relevant concession rate (child, young adult and senior) so that empty seats become affordable seats.

'All good things must come to an end. Or, in this case, End, as David Eldridge concludes his poignant and perceptive trilogy tracing the course of a relationship'. There's beautiful work from Clive Owen and Saskia Reeves in End @NationalTheatre. Review: https://t.co/0gGOZq1BWu

Worth remembering that Boris Johnson — so personally offended by perceived BBC bias he threatened not to pay license fee — never once mentioned that his pick for BBC chair was involved in secret talks about his own finances in No10. An £800,000 loan followed.

It led to a warning from the cabinet secretary — and later Richard Sharp’s resignation.

Start the Week on ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ has just blithely announced that in WW2 Indians were “not allowed to fly in the RAF”. No one told me this when I unveiled the statue to Sqn Ldr Singh Puji in Gravesend in 2014. As covered, not too well, by BBC… 1/2 https://t.co/Pz3Y9n9Or8

The shame on our country that those in a position to help don’t do everything possible to grant Malak the visa she so clearly deserves.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

Around 80 students from Gaza have defied unimaginable challenges - managing, in the midst of a war, to get accepted by UK universities.
We've been speaking to 19-year-old Malak, who's been awarded a scholarship to study at Cambridge but can't get here due to Home Office rules.
