Yes this is why I put the Woolworths video up. Just imagine what grand stuff could be done by proper archivists who CARE! An authentic look around a Woolworths of 1992 for example, not just some boring old ‘hey who remembers Tamigotchi’s?!’.
These programs you mention were funny. People would be talking about things that you can still get now such as Big Macs as though they were much missed items of the past!

This was doing the rounds a few years back:
And caused quite the who-ha about whether or not it was genuine.
5 gears. 1972?
I mean it was possible, but not common enough that most people
who had cars
had a car with more than 3 or 4 gears in it
People like to hear what they like to hear Bobby. It's always been the way and always will be

Yeah but what these archivists and Coal Supper will be doing won’t be for the common man. It will be for people who are deeply interested in UK popular culture in history like us.

Coal Supper are MUCH MORE likely to make a gag like the fifth gear/fifth pint one Bobby than stick to historic accuracy

Well then Coal Supper need to PACK THAT IN!! I want them involved with creating historical accuracy from now on. A new type of nostalgia I like to think of as ‘nostalgia for the thinking man’.
By I would have Coal Supper chained up and working on this type of thing from now till day death if I could get away with it!

You could make it yourself Bobby
You just need to know how to create OBJ files and then texture them appropriately.
Put that together in a virtual environment and then find sounds to enhance it.
You have a positive audio/visual world which is tweaked exactly to your needs and can be altered should you ever feel the need to
Leave Coal Supper to their suet puddings

No no no no NO!!! I am NOT a technological whizz kid! I do not know the first think about doing any of this or even where I would begin! Let alone doing it with any sort of finesse!!
I challenge you!!! Show me how easy it is! Do a Spar shop from 1986! Go on!! Spar shops are smaller so shouldn’t be difficult. Spar shop 1986 GO!!!

As easy as Suno Bobby but it takes time and time is money.
Go get the Arts Council funding and we'll half it
I'll teach you while I'm going about it and then next time we get double the Arts Council funding and we each teach someone else (They get a smaller share of course).
Ad infinitum until we get hit with a Ponzi scheme charge because we end up asking our students for money to learn. In which case we nip off to the Bahamas and retire

I don’t understand ANY of that. My plan was to somehow get Coal Supper involved in this project, they would just do it and we would enjoy it.
I’ve just been on the DS forum and the women there are gushing over this man that they have on the show called Ravi. Some of the things that they come out with I tell you…’well I guess Denise just enjoys a perfectly formed body…’ WOAH calm down there Tanya!!
Simmer down Ancora and the rest! All this heat is not good for women of your vintage!
Honestly some of them must be 60!!!!! Just a bunch of sad sorry dreary older women.

There's nothing up with older ladies having a pulse that can quicken Bobby. I think it's adorable and should be fostered (Within limits!)
I don't think Coal Supper are the right persons for the job Bobby
They could do it but it'd be like taking Da Vinci and having him paint your front room
You use AI to write up an Arts Council funding application and then we'll get to it
We just need to pick a particular date which will generate enough interest in a mundane thing like a Spar form the 1990's.
Like Diana's death!

I want people with actual TALENT involved in this project, not AI!
That Woolworths that I linked to, that looked AI generated.

No that video predates this new influx of AI stuff Bobby. That's just a shoddy production.
They could have taken the Unreal Engine, added some models which moved, different textures and lighting parameters, a bit less gimble on the camera and a slew of better sound effects and still have got the whole lot done in a week (If they knew what they were doing).
It wasn't terrible, but add that to the crappy research put in and it sort of is appropriate in a comedy manner

I HATED it and watching it is what has made me want to see it done properly.

It was rather jarring Bobby 🥴
Did you see these weird boxless Turtles which were right next to the Buzz Lightyears?! That’s very early 90s mashed in with mid 90s there and why on earth were they not boxed?!! They looked like these character bubble Bath bottles! Also she said Ninja Turtles and true Gentleman Nostalgists know it was ‘Hero’ Turtles in this region during that period.

And they were all Leonardo (The actual leader of the troop transformed from the norm by the nuclear gloop)
But their Stretch Armstrong box was from 1992 and so sort of
stretched
the argument for typing in Buzz with the voice of Kaneda from the English dub of Akira (1998) Bobby

So what name do you think we should go for? Gentleman Nostalgists is a good one but it is a bit male oriented. Women and none binary and gender fluid can all be a part of it too!
I thought maybe a hybrid of the words ‘nostalgia’ and ‘archivist’. Maybe ‘Nostivist’.

I do like Nostivist Bobby but if you are wanting to lean on the women and nonbinary folk too then I think something a little bit humourful is more apt as both of them as toast in the past
How about
Los Loomers
?

Ok then the Los Loomers it is!! But if anyone ask us what the Los Loomers are/do I’ll say that we’re Nostivists.
God help them if they mishear me and think I said ‘nostalgists’ though!!! I’ll be like ‘oh so you think we just go around saying stuff like ‘hey who remembers hedgehog crisps?!’ because there’s a lot more to it than that.

No Bobby we take the warped ends of what has gone before and present it in an enjoyable tapestry for display today, maybe even tomorrow
And when we're not doing that we're standing about intimidatingly
