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?

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
