Thanks for posting this David, Fred Evans has a great habit of taking the mickey out of the low budgets of his shorts, I wish more Pimples were out there to see.

Heck, I just wish that the BFI wasn;t so damn stingy with what they put up on Youtube. Why not put up the whole short? What, are they waiting for that hot, multi-bucks DVD deal?

Yep, BFI (+ MOMA and many other archives) are WAY too precious about their holdings & need to make their collections more accessible.
Do they really feel they won't have a role to play (or keep their jobs!) if they make their films too freely available for 'The Public' to see?!
With You Tube and the like, there is no excuse.
C'mon you archive boys - stick a logo on 'em and stream em!

Oh and p.s. - here's the complete Pimple Submarine doodah... http://player.bfi.org.uk/film/watch-lt- ... rine-1914/
