M/S of Eade introducing Victor Barna from Hungary. Good C/U of Barna smiling. C/U of Barna's hand gripping a table tennis bat, Eade says "Barna holds the bat so firmly that his thumb has worn away the rubber surface." Several shots of Barna playing Davie Jones in a practice match.
Good slow motion shots of Barna demonstrating his skills. He performs a trick shot which involves knocking the ball up into the air and putting so much spin on it that when it bounces on the other side of the net the ball spins back over again. Good C/U of Barna; Eade says, "and by the way this game is table tennis and if anyone wants to start a row call it Ping Pong."

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.
