"Thrills, spills, whirls and girls - " Unusual shot of a spinning wheel which is made of mirrors, people are seen walking behind it. The wheel is presumably part of a funfair stall. L/S of a roller coaster then C/U of back of boys heads as they ride the roller coaster. Cameraman is presumably riding the roller coaster. "On the water..." Two girls climb into a small motorised boat. Cameraman films them from another boat as they steer it around a little boating pond. Looks like fun! "...and on the line -" Children climb into a little miniature train. Shot of the front of the train as it pulls off. Shot from on board the train from just behind the driver.
"Notice we didn't quite pass beneath the bridge? Well, the camera tried to, but just didn't! Now for the next thrill - " Shot showing people watching those riding the motorised boats. "And the next - up, down and round about. Eve will go on, till she's dizzy." Shot of another of the rides, a cross between a waltzer and a roller coaster. C/U of a group of people as they scream with enjoyment on the ride. Various shots of the ride. Roller coaster cars zoom past the camera. Very short shot of a woman's skirt flying up, she pulls it back down. The hood comes down on the roller coaster ride - it is the caterpillar ride. The hood is taken back up revealing some couples smooching.

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.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
