Roll Out the Barrel: The British Pub on Film (2-DVD)

Product Information

The owner was stubborn. Dad came away barrelless and angry, at what he considered a mean injustice. It wasn’t just the money. There was a lot of pride, principle at stake now. The rather flexible moral code of that time and area demanded that barrels must now be pinched. John Serry Sr. arranged and recorded the polka for accordion and ensemble for RCA Thesaurus (1954). [ citation needed] In a sense, though, all of the shorts on Roll Out The Barrel are looking to the past: a quest for the 'real' Britain, preserved by the pub, a perpetual attempt to recover something lost (a task that preoccupies people now, seemingly as much as ever, in this bunting-choked year of 2012.). It's the hazy, half-forgotten memory of a thing which may or may not have ever been. This is Britain, as seen through a pint glass, blearily. It was played by Amanda McBroom as Eleanor Carlyle on piano at officers' club in M*A*S*H season 10 episode 1 ("That's Show Biz") after she says that "Even Dvorak and Brahms wrote folk dances" to Major Winchester.

I’d suspect that both he and Dad enjoyed the chat they had. Both East enders: with a weakness for this sort of situation. It was some time after this that my Dad decided to organize street A.R.P. patrols. The phrases ‘bolting horses’ and ‘stable door’ do spring to mind perhaps. But then, during those hectic days, the fact that you’d been bombed once was no guarantee that you couldn’t be again. Once they’d gone, Dad got one of the mad ideas he sometimes did. “Hey! Bet old Bill’s indoors now having kittens. Yeah! Yeah, I'll burst in on him. Gee him up a bit.”I only heard about their conversation at secondhand. It seems to have gone rather upon these lines: Bill may have reflected that he’d already heard this airy promise once tonight, and that it hadn’t worked out too well. He wasn’t keen to see it tested again, but eventually gave in. The first point to make is that a barrel is a measure, 36 gallons of beer, not a type of container and a cask is just a name for a container the beer comes in. The following names are specific to the volume of beer in the container.
