Has anyone else had trouble with getting these links to function? They just don't seem to come to life when I go into several of them. Any advice please? They look as though they could be great stuff to me. Thanks.

Well, I just tried clicking on those links (as opposed to going into the website from previously saved links on my computer) and they all worked perfectly. So I'm not sure what's going on there. Has your PC a firewall that's fussy about what it allows you to see perhaps?
It also may be that you need to register with British Pathe in order to see any of this stuff. I seem to remember doing that years ago myself, although it has never ever asked me for a password or anything.
Perhaps some other MCP members could report back on if they can view the clips OK.

I can now get the first two links okay but for the other two I see the image and click on the arrow but the pictures don't move on. Also on the third one I get a sort of spinning colour wheel on my laptop. Later I'll try to register with Pathe but hope they're not going to bill me for doing it?

I have no idea if they'll bill you but I very much doubt it. Up until quite recently they didn't even seem to care if you downloaded their clips and kept them for free! They have stopped that now but they still don't charge the silly money a lot of archives do, if you want to buy the clips for yourself.
Like I say, I may not even be right about having to register, I just vaguely recall that I might have done, yonks ago.
Hope you have some luck with it as the films are actually worth seeing.
