The family cine films are all now on YouTube. If anyone wants the MP4 then I can send it. Unfortunately, the scanning service concatenated all the cine into one long 2 hour, 16 minute film which is impossible to split back into the original spools. Each spool is made of short segments anyway - hence it is just a big pile of content. I am trying to see if there is a way to unpick it with Jessops.

Here's the list of spool titles I made so the Jessops service could be costed. Good luck guessing where one starts and the next begins. They are not in order.

  1. Link to the monster cine - 2hr, 16min of family cine
  2. Link to the first (19th) spool I sent to test the service - Family Holidays Aug 1967 + Aug 1968
  3. Link to poor quality version of some of the content. With Tom's cheesy music - Digitised version of dad's VHS video of the cine. Dad's listing of this content. I think I only bothered with the first 30 mins:
