2010Seasons & Episode
In Glasgow, the team hear about an astonishing film showing the dramatic salvage of German ships from the First World War; there is a priceless archive of 9.5mm films of working class London in the 1920s; and Terry Jones shows his home movies of the Monty Python team at work.
In Falmouth the team see a unique record of National Service in the 50s shot aboard an aircraft carrier, an intimate portrait of life in Brixton for a first generation immigrant from Jamaica, and an aristocratic family is re-united with the home movies they thought had been lost forever.
In London, the team see beautiful colour footage of the Festival of Britain from 1951; there's an insider's story of the raising of the Mary Rose, with underwater footage shot on 8mm; and of the many Queen's Silver Jubilee home movies there's one very special record.
