BBC Home Movie Roadshow

[Miss Scarlet]

Has anyone been watching this? I've caught a couple of bits of it, usually just before I fall asleep (no not because it's boring hehe). For those of you who haven't seen it it's 100 years of British people's personal home videos and is lovely to watch! There was an adorable family in Scotland last night in the 60s playing Doctor Who with a dalek and the police box.

So far the first episode was what they think is the first wedding video, shot in 1905 on the Isle of Bute. The second has been Terry Jones and his home movies of Monty Python at work. Episode 3 is in Falmouth where the team see a unique record of National Service in the 50s.

This sounds really interesting - I'm just downloading it now.

The BBC ran a series a while back called 'The 30's in Colour', which focused on early, amateur, colour 16mm film footage.
