Cuts for story CHOPSTICKS COMPETITION in CP 408. Similar footage to cut story of contestants eating Chinese food with chopsticks in an open air Butlin's competition. Different shots show a Chinese / Oriental man watching the contestants using the chopsticks and shaking his head at their attempts.
Cuts for story BROADS HOLIDAY in CP 408. Mostly similar footage to cut story about teenagers on a camping holiday on the Norfolk Broads. As well as the activities seen in the original story we also see a young man chopping wood and teenagers and a woman (who could be Lady Hunt, wife of Sir John Hunt) washing pots and pans. George Lowe of the Everest Expedition may also be seen very briefly, walking over the deck of a boat.
Cuts for story KNIFE-THROWING in CP 408. More nice footage in Martin and Mrs Collins' sweet and tobacco shop; a man buys a cigar from Martin; we can see packets of Spangles, Refreshers and Nipits (sweets) on the counter before Martin. Martin looks at his watch and motions to his wife he is going somewhere. In the garden we see Agnes practising rope and lasso tricks; Martin checks his knives and throws one at the board - it doesn't stick and he grimaces and says something (looks like "Bloody hell"). Several knife-throwing shots as in cut story. Great slow motion shot where Martin appears to be throwing the knives either side of the cameraman (and us!).
Cuts for story AWAY FROM IT ALL in CP 408. Brief cuts, similar footage to cut story, mostly people watching something (horses in Hyde Park? the building work at Hyde Park Corner?).
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
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.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
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.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
