More from the British Pathe': this is unedited footage from a pipe show in London in the 1970s, complete with an amusing exchange between the Prime Minister and a young reporter about pipes.

I'm old enough to remember PM Wilson on TV lighting up his burner. That man was a champ.
And I'm also old enough to remember SecDef James Schlesinger lighting up his pipe on Face the Nation, and other Sunday morning news shows, after being thrown a high hard one.
Lord, I miss those days.
Schlesinger would pull his pipe, tamp it and then do a relight all the while giving himself some time to formulate his response.
