This Week's New Video Clips:
Note on viewing videos:
Many of the videos are progressively downloaded. If your computer is not as speedy as you'd like, to avoid the video starting and stopping, it is a good idea to hit the pause button, wait for a bit while the video loads in the background, then hit the play button again.

 

If you were filmed recently, keep coming back, you'll find your video will be added in a week or two - we just don't always add every one the week they were filmed!
Click on the favourites link above to see where all the past videos are located.
