Part of our “Seventy Years of British Documentaries to Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee” film series A 1954 British Transport Film that follows The Elizabethan, a non-stop British Railways service from London King's Cross to Edinburgh Waverley along the East Coast Main Line. Although originally intended as an advertising short, it now acts as a nostalgic record of the halcyon years of steam on British Railways.

Part of our “Seventy Years of British Documentaries to Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee” film series Narrated by Richard Burton – who gave his time for free, this film shows children at the Margate School for the Deaf learning to lip read and apart from this narration and some music is, appropriately, completely silent and concentrates on the faces of the boys and girls. This film won an Oscar in 1954 for Best Documentary Film. Bring your hankies!

Part of our “Seventy Years of British Documentaries to Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee” film series Watch as Miss Arty (played by Joyce Grenfell) and Miss Design (!) argue over what newly married couples should have in their living room and on their bedside table. Really. Supported by a short film about Terence Conran, and the height of his Habitat fame! Which would you choose – a teapot that looks like a cat or one that doesn’t fall over?
Part of our “Seventy Years of British Documentaries to Celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee” film series Holidays are a good idea, aren’t they? These two films made for British Transport Films show how taking the train – hauled by a filthy, climate change causing steam locomotive – to the seaside has changed since the 1950s. Beauty contests anyone?

Brilliantly made documentary featuring a day at a typical Secondary Modern School in 1962. Sparkling dialogue and as captivating today as it was when it was first made. Teenagers are the same all over and take away their mobile phones and today’s secondary school pupils would be just like this lot. We have shown this film before but we’ve been asked to show it again. Made by celebrated Director John Krish.

BBC film interviewing West Indian immigrants in Birmingham about their experiences since they arrived. Remarkable. “We call England ‘the Mother Country’. We have been taught that it is the Mother Country, it has been drilled into us as the Mother Country, from the cradle, really, to the grave, because... Jamaica has been governed by the English for over three hundred years, and so everything about it is English.”

The transport of goods has never been such a topical subject what with Brexit and ‘supply chains’, anyway in the 1950s British Transport Films did its best to show that clanking, smoking steam locomotives were an efficient way of getting goods from A to B. Good luck with that.

BBC film about Britain’s Pop Artists and their crazy, swinging London lifestyles. As the media struggled to get a grip on what was going on ( Warhol, etc ) BBC’s Monitor programme made this including Peter Blake (very droll), Pauline Boty, and others. Watch David Hockney doing the Twist! Great stuff.
