As I'm not very well at the moment I decided to revisit some of my earlier observations and I came across this stentor, I think it maybe a Stentor muelleri.
I think a moniliform macronucleus (bead like structure) is seen in various portions of the video, It appears colourless and I don't think there is any symbiotic green algae present.
What do you think?

Re: Stentor muelleri?
Sorry to hear you're not well.
The macronucleus shows up pretty well in that first video. It is vermiform (like a long white worm), so this is S. roeselii.

I'm starting to get better now it was just a case of man flu.
Thanks Bruce for the ID
