It's hard to believe, but here we are, almost at the end of 2011 and Christmas is on its way. Has it really been three months since our last catalogue? 

As usual, many of the production companies have saved their best programmes for this time of year and we are pleased to include them here.

Cab rides seem to be plentiful again, with the highlight probably being a journey on the Log Train from Carlisle to Warrington via the S&C and for followers of the current freight scene in the UK, Big Freight 7 is sure to be a winner. Add these to the best in new preserved and archive steam from the UK and around the world and there’s a great selection to choose from once again.

The number of programmes available on Blu-ray has increased. We are now on about 30 and if you’re thinking of upgrading to high definition, now is a good time with many Blu-ray players under the £99 barrier. We often get asked this: Will a Blu-ray disc play on a normal DVD player – no! Will a normal DVD play on a Blu-ray player – YES! If you upgrade to Blu-ray you DO NOT need to keep a DVD player as well.

Don’t forget postage is FREE on all orders in the UK. We often get new customers who had been paying £1 or £1.50 postage PER DVD elsewhere! (So £4.50 for three!). Videoscene = NO CHARGE FOR POSTAGE. Please take advantage of this.

Any DVD, anywhere in the UK – post free - guaranteed!

Quite apart from these, there are a huge number of DVDs examining specific routes and their familiar rolling stock, such as the North East Slam-Door DMU, filmed 1986-2009 and the North Wales Class 37, filmed 1993-2000. With numerous titles available covering a wide variety of subjects, there is surely something here for every rail enthusiast to enjoy. See the full Anbrico range of DVDs.

In the mid-1920s, Claude Friese-Greene drove from Land's End to John O' Groats making a series of films en route. These remarkable films captured the life and people on his journey in colour, at a time when a world was filmed in black and white. This pioneering use of colour was to be the culmination of the work he had carried out with his father, the cinematographer William Friese-Greene.

This unique archive of Friese-Greene's footage, preserved and restored by the bfi, reveals many things in the UK that have changed in 80 years, as well as, surprisingly, what has remained.

In The Lost World of Friese-Greene, presenter Dan Cruickshank traces the original route in a vintage car, tracking relatives of the people who appear in the films. He shows footage to people who appeared in the films as children and are seeing themselves on film for the first time 80 years later.

Episode 1 starts in the West Country as Cruickshank uncovers radical changes in rural traditions from cider-making to stag hunting and takes a look back at holiday fun at the seaside. Episode 2 picks up his journey in Cirencester, travels onwards to Wales through the Midlands and North to Lancashire and the Lakes. In the final episode, he journeys through Scotland, meeting local historians and descendants of people in the films, with breathtaking scenery all the way. more details
