Old England,Bisley And The Queen’s Prize
This BBC film from the 80′s has everything, a blast of history, some very old posh people, and Brian Glover! Yeah that Brian Glover, the teacher from Kes!
Many times I’ve been told that Bisley is in a time-warp, and this film backs that up. The place still looks exactly the same. Wandering around you’ll see a miniature world of, what 150 years ago were temporary buildings. These wooden club houses all have their legends and traditions. What the film doesn’t explore is the full range of Shooting Types.
The film’s visit that Bisley institution G.E. Fulton & Son, Bisley Camp shows a shop that is exactly the same as the one I visited a few weeks ago. Piles of stuff everywhere, and a floor that was secondhand on the first day of trading. A man in tweed [paired with red trousers] came it for some 22LR. The RP accents aren’t ‘quite’ as ubiquitous these days and the ammunition costs more.
