The video https://youtu.be/OqA1Sb9Wcww shows a game of Go apparently between beginners. The male player was apparently a trepanning patient (if we can believe that part of the description, which claims they were playing battleships), and the game is stated as having been filmed in the UK in the 1960s. It's the oldest game of Go I can remember seeing on video.

Interesting to see. The female player could well be Amanda Feilding (aka Countess of Wemyss and March) who was interested in both playing Go and trepanation at this time. There is a resemblance.
