  • This piece is much more recent than the current suggested date of 1950-59.

    Firstly, the slate in the early seconds credits the cameraman as being Mike Dodds. His working credits on imdb only begin in 1972.

    Secondly, at 00:06 we see a man in a leather jacket - it's very much more 1970s than 1950s.

    Similarly all of the products seen on the table at 00:09 are much more 70s than 50s.

    Finally, the kids' clothes and hairstyles from 00:13 onwards appear to be 1970s fashions.

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.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
