An advice for a good old movie to watch on YouTube?

DK Classics, apparently. It's a youtube channel (or two). I'd imagine the distributors want them digitised. The celluloid gets dangerous to handle as it ages. It also wears, and breaks. Digital options would be better in the modern age.

Please note that the similarity in utterances of Popeye The Sailor and Donald The President is purely coincidental.

Aren't you revealing where Trump got his ideas from

? The timing would have been about right.

@teckk: While I think of it, I'd be interested in anything you have or can find on the British double agent code named 'Stakeknife.' Just if you see something.

Apparently, during the IRA & Loyalist terror campaigns, Stakeknife was an active Provisional IRA member, but passing information to the British. He was even promoted onto the IRA Judicial Committee that dealt with (=tried & executed) suspected traitors. When he was finally extracted, it was a huge embarrassment for the Provisionals. BBC's iplayer has something now, but I can't get it, as I'm blocked. The BBC run a tight ship.

Thanks teckk. I reckoned you'd come up with something. The BBC have a show out about him on iplayer now. The youtube link gives an 8 minute summary of 10+ years, and Archive.org is only showing text.

The whole North of Ireland thing got very violent as I was leaving school. I got close to the situation through a NOI contact. The Irish population (then dominated by the catholic Church) was firmly Pro-Catholic = Pro-IRA. The British Army was helping the Loyalists, until they were dragged through and excoriated by the European Court. After that (1978-1980 IIRC?) their secret service got involved. All this warfare 100 miles up the road made for interesting headlines. For instance, in 1970, Government Ministers were implicated in a scandal - the first scandal of many for Charlie Haughey. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arms_Crisis

The BBC is inclined to do documentaries on big events while most of the guys involved are still around. They appear to have done this with Stakeknife. I see it advertised on iplayer. It's probably an hour's worth. I'll be patient, and probably get it in torrent form. It's not online, it seems, except behind BBC's paranoid protections. Thanks for checking.

Thanks again, teckk.

II was hoping for a single one-hour tv documentary, because I have an idea how much material is out there. But there's problems. It's a podcast series.

Stakeknife AFAIK has gone into Witness Protection and is living a new life, probably in some distant colony. There's many who would love to kill him.
People up North never forgive, and never forget - on either side. Some folks are still in danger.
Because of (2), nobody of interest is prepared to go on camera. So no video.
The podcast is about 5 times as long as there is material for. 30 minutes would cover the material; it would stretch perhaps to 60. But any longer is going to be endless rehashes of grudges, bitterness & bellyaching.

I couldn't listen through that. I got two episodes downloaded. The third may not be up there yet. I read somewhere they are up for a year, but being released one a week. I've no skin in that game at all, and no real sympathy for militants on either side. I've great sympathy for everyone else.

I just gave the first episode 5 minutes, and all the injustice of it, the bleak & dismal pathos of lives wrecked, parents killed or maimed,and the hardships and atrocity visited on survivors and kids all washed over me again. I couldn't take it.
