Given this was posted to uk.transport.LONDON it wasn't unreasonable to
do so.

For those not privileged enough to live here a quick look on their
website suggests Sky channel 117. If one is also bereft of Sky
privileges you might be on your own.

They do stream some of the shows on their website, but I have no idea
whether any of these will be.

They're all available on various DVD volumes of the BFI BT Film
Collection available from Amazon and elsewhere.

"Terminus" is on volume three, "Capital Visit" volume two,
"This Year" volume one. Can't find "Bridge of Song" although
it sounds a lot like "All That Mighty Heart" which is on volume ten
"London on the Move"

There's an 18 disc box set which can be had for a shade under
£50.

No-one in London watches London Live either, it gets a staggering 0.05%
of the audience :-)

The first three are available to buy on DVD according to
http://www.britishtransportfilms.co.uk/. If you can't find them online
then I expect that the BFI shop will be able to get them for you.

fails on this first test, no amount of ornamentation or finish will
make it any better, it will only make it more expensive and foolish.

The amusing thing is that it gets prime position in the TV listings carried
by the Evening Standard. Before they stopped showing the embarrassing (R)
indicator for repeats, it was painfully apparent that whatever the channel
might be, Live it was not. Lebedev must have bought up all the old TV
programmes that even Dave couldn't run any more.

The rumours suggest that the channel won't be live in any sense of the word
by the end of the year.

Well, here is a good reason for watching London Live, then. They are
also showing a season of the other films the Ealing Studios made. At
one time both the BBC and Channel 4 used to show such
out-of-the-mainstream items - before they became ratings-obsessed.
London Live may not last too long - but, personally, I'm grateful for
any initiative that gets this material before the public.

BTW, all four of the films mentioned are on BFI BTF DVDs - and they are
generally all much cheaper from other suppliers than directly from the
BFI

Thanks all. I was assuming they were to be broadcast free to air and maybe
on web sites, not being familiar with London Live. I'm not interested enough
to buy DVDs. It looks as if I'll be able to watch on their web site.
