Runflat Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 (edited) I see there's a behind-the-scenes documentary about the BCVM on the box tonight (BBC4). http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00scr08 It sounds as if it is focuses on new blood wanting to make changes against the will of the established old guard. No doubt things will be edited for entertainment value, but it may be worth watching if you are involved in a museum or running a club. (Heading should be British Commercial Vehicle Museum! - if mods could amend, please) Edited May 13, 2010 by Runflat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Interesting, but a bit sad. I felt great deal of sympathy for the museum director. Doing anything with other people can be a pain in the neck sometimes. I cant imagine that sort of thing happening amongst like minded military vehicle collectors - oh hang on a moment, hmmm.

N.O.S. Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 What a fascinating program. I always hankered after running some sort of industrial museum, but doubt I ever posessed the right set of skills, and for sure I no longer have the patience required!!! Quite sad in many respects, not least of which is 'where are all the youngsters'? Having said that, where would we be without those 'old boys'?

Great War truck Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Actually, i am not too sure about that sausage roll either. Three minutes in a microwave would ruin it i think. Didnt see much vehicle restoration at the museum. do they actually have a workshop there? There is a transport museum near me and all i hear about is infighting and disagreements between the people who work there. It sounds like a smaller version of the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. A shame, but that is human nature i suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Great programme! Not much focus on vehicles but still kept me watching. The infighting was both funny and sad at the same time. What a pity that when we visit we won't come across Errol the real character in the canteen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00scr08/Behind_the_Scenes_at_the_Museum_Commercial_Vehicle_Museum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
