  • "Silken Page" - the shots list has got rather mixed up here, what actually happens is that Peter Noble shows a still photo of Genevieve Page and explains that she's about to star in The Silken Affair.

    "Vera Ellen" should read Vera-Ellen.

    "Marcel Helman" should read Marcel Hellman.

    Note that the name of Van Johnson should come after Marcel Hellman - these are two different stories.

    "'London Coliseum / Colosseum" - it's the London Coliseum.

    Esther Williams, mentioned in the shots list, is pictured with her husband, American actor Ben Gage.

    Note that the last two paragraphs of shots are not in this clip - it cuts out during Adele Lee's aria.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
Franz Reichelt
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
Death Row
The Duke of Edinburgh has many talents, but it is his unique way with words that often receives the most attention.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.

WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
