This is a bit random, but I made this post in response to a tumblr query and it is so long and I don't want to risk losing it in case it should ever come in handy again. But don't worry, I haven't finally completely lost it and assumed that everyone wants to stalk James Maxwell round strange old telly and film. However, if you do, here is your guide to what's good (for Mr Maxwell anyway) complete with warnings for particularly terrible facial hair. I might come back and edit in YT links later (maybe even gifs), but I'll leave it here as it is for now, just so that tumblr doesn't eat my ridiculous work (because tumblr).

More of a guide than a recs list, because old tv/film depends so much on availability. It’s also hard as there’s nothing surviving that’s really like SotT for him (his voice is always slightly different, too & rarely the grand one from SotT) - I found it hard to find where to start back in the day, so I hope this makes it easier. However, I have starred my favourites (rated for JM content only).
I’ve divided things into categories and jurijurijurious​ (or anyone) can make up their own mind as to what to go for.
Where to find things: Luckily in the UK, it’s not too bad! Network Distributing are the DVD supplier to keep an eye on (they do great online sales), you can find secondhand things cheap on Amazon Marketplace & eBay, and several Freeview channels show old TV & film, especially Talking Pictures. I’ll note if things are on YT or Daily Motion, but they come and go all the time, so it’s always worth searching.
( Cut for very long post of me rating episodes on a JM scale )
