Cuts (out takes, rushes) for stories in Colour Pictorial - CP 673. The original stories are on Pathe Master tape *PM0431*.
Cuts for story BODY PAINT in CP 673. Similar footage to cut story about a bikini-clad girl coming out of the Serpentine and having her body painted by a young man. A different shot shows the man pretending to paint over the camera with a little paint roller; he is also seen walking through Hyde Park with two tins of paint. The girl goes for a swim in the Serpentine after her body painting session (we don't get to see the effect of water on her paint).
Cuts for story THE BONZO DOG DOO DAH BAND (Music for Head Ballet) in CP 673. Similar footage to cut story of the band moving their heads left and right. Two shots with the clapperboard. A few funny shots where one or other of the band goes slightly wrong. From a different angle we see the end 'movement' when they all look one by one to the right; the head of the dummy falls off, assisted by Roger Ruskin Spear.
Cuts for story NURDLING in CP 673. Similar footage to cut story about people dressed as yokels, taking part in silly races and doing some mysterious 'Nurdling' in a tent. Various shots of competitors and spectators in costumes.
Cuts for story THE BONZO DOG DOO DAH BAND (Equestrian Statue) in CP 673. Similar footage to cut story of the whole band performing this number in London's Speakeasy club. Lengthy shot of Rodney Slater playing the trombone and Legs Larry Smith on drums, with Roger Ruskin Spear and Sam Spoons in the background on trumpet and trombone. Also a few shots of Legs Larry Smith 'painting' Neil Innes as the statue; Neil looks like he's trying not to laugh.

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.
