Westminster Dog Show at Lyndhurst

(Skipped the video of her getting out of the car because it didn't show the house.)

I wonder if those people who were milling around earlier were getting ready to shoot the video of her arrival?

The first thing to come up in the eighth 30 minutes was a shorter montage similar to the one that kicked off Sunday's broadcast and was covered in Repy #30 through Reply #35. I'll call that first one "A Champion Awaits" because that's how the voiceover for it ended - I'll this upcoming second on "Best in Show" because that's how its voiceover ends (and again, some captures may seem similar to what's already been posted but they're actually taken from footage that was not previously shown or in the case of one, the footage was flipped but it was shown correctly this time - that all being said, though, there will be one capture reposted for this simply because the exact same footage was used but I want to showcase the montage in full when it comes to what was used of Lyndhurst):

(This one is the repost.)

(Something similar to this one was skipped in the first montage because it was one of those where, as I said, "all that was shown of the grounds were trees in the backgrounds of the dogs/models.")

(This is from footage that was originally flipped.)

And as I did with the first montage, I'm breaking the captures for this one into two sets of postings, so this is all for now. And there's more to look forward in the next set of posts because there are more completely new ones in that batch, including the return of the pug - and he has a guest...

I forgot to mention yesterday that there were two shots that I skipped from the above montage. One was a close-up of the dog in the first capture from Reply #31. And the other was something similar to what I'd already skipped previously when I posted captures from the sequence showcased in Reply #11. Both show slightly different versions of the dog as the couple's wine glasses get toasted. The house was barely seen in the shots and what was seen was very darkly shaded, so that's why it was skipped then as well as now.

Also, it's interesting that this time around they added a new shot of Lyndhurst to the beginning, but unlike the previous montage, there aren't any shots of only the house afterward...

And immediately following the above montage came this bumper featuring Lyndhurst on the left side -

- and as can be better seen in the following capture, the greenhouse -

- on the right...

And this is also the last of what was shown of Lyndhurst in the eight 30 minutes - the rest of the time was focused on judging the best in show and presenting that honor. I guess they thought that was more important. Misguided as far as Lyndhurst fans go.    But hey, what can you do?    But there is still more to come in the next section...

As much as I've enjoyed getting captures from the event, at times I thought this point would never come because as much as I knew it would take more than a day or two to go though both the Saturday and Sunday broadcasts, I never thought it would take as long as it has. Although, that is a good thing because look at all the Lyndhurst stuff they featured. But we have finally reached the last batch of postings. And what's coming up is from the closing montage featured at the end of the ninth segment of Sunday's broadcast. I won't refer to it as the ninth 30 minutes because it only lasted 11 minutes - though it was 11 minutes of overtime, so Fox was probably very happy that it ran only 11 minutes over. (And again, some captures may seem similar to what's already been posted but they're actually either taken from footage that was not previously shown or in the case of the first two captures, footage that didn't have any banners running over it (see Reply #17)):

And these captures are from an unseen section of footage that corresponds to the first two captures in Reply #32:

I like the capture of the aerial shot with the large tent and the breed judging tent next to it. I had an idea where they where but it confirms they were across from the greenhouse. Cool. I wonder how many people read our Dark Shadow club commemorative bricks we have in the courtyard while taking the dogs for walks. I also chuckled over the shot of the dog sitting on the bench in front of the mansion. I believe it's the same bench Roger Davis stood on when he was giving us a talk about the property so we could hear him better ... and him being chastised by a Lyndhurst volunteer for doing so. LOL.
