Soundtrack is currently missing for this whole issue.
Mostly shot in London.
M/S of a man the roof of a building (Pathe House?) looking through a telescope. We see several shots of London landmarks - Nelson's Column, London Coliseum, Big Ben.
Studio shot of a rotund monk looking at the sky through a lens. Animated diagrams by Joe Noble illustrate the history of telescopes and refractors and explain how they work. View through a telescope of Westminster Abbey (?) the wrong way and the right way up. A man and woman in period costume (could be Galileo or Newton?) look through a French window at the sky using a refractor. Brief shot of the milky way, presumably seen through this telescope.
Several shots of a young man in a garden looking through a telescope with a framework around it. Shots of a massive telescope at an observatory - could be in United States of America. Animated diagrams relating to modern telescope equipment. One seems to be informing us that the 200 inch mirror at Palomar, California, is big enough to park a truck on.
Back to the young man on the building. We see the view he is looking at - a silhouette of a woman's legs as she puts on one of her stockings.
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.
