Episode 5
Dan Cruickshank and Kirsty Wark present 100 years of Britons' lives filmed on home movie cameras. A helicopter pilot shows off his films from the Malaya Emergency in the 50s.
Dan Cruickshank and Kirsty Wark prove that shooting a video and showing it off to the public isn't a new thing, as they present 100 years of Britons' lives filmed on home movie cameras.
After an appeal to people to send in their favourite pieces of home movie footage, an expert team of film historians pored over the results as well as amateur film footage held in the nation's archives. The team then took to the road in a specially constructed 'cinebus' to hear about the films in person.
For fifty years from the 1920s the incredible changes in farming and estate life were captured on film by the Bowser family in Perthshire. A daredevil helicopter pilot shows off his films from the Malaya Emergency in the 50s; and there is footage of the spiritual home of punk rock, the King's Road, captured in its heyday.
