Hard to believe it's the same country we're living in now.

Great! Magnificent! Was married in High Peak registry office in 70's. Roads were still like that then. Robert Shaw - great narrator(and actor). Was the bad guy in 'From Russia with Love'. Remember him as William Tell on early 50's ITV

Took me a minute to make the connection. The narrator, Robert Shaw, beloved to me as Quint (Jaws), was a Brit? Who knew?! Gorgeous film, I heartily agree about the stunning colour.
