Reel 1.
01:00:09 Man and woman in evening dress on stage set designed to look like a Victorian drawing room. They sing to a piano accompaniment. The man has a ridiculous moustache (it looks completely false). After a few words from our commentator Basil Rathbone, they do a small dance step and become quiet.
01:00:46 Opening Credits - "Time to remember - a programme to take you back, however young you may be - recalled by Basil Rathbone".
01:01:09 Early street scenes - I think this is London - lots of horse drawn vehicles. Hansom cabs, and goods vehicles are on the road and lots of people are walking around. There are also some horse drawn buses.

01:02:18 Paddle boat "Victoria" comes in to dock at flimsy looking gangplank. A man in sailor's garb walks out along the gangplank. The fore deck of the boat is packed with people.
