M/S of a bus stop sign, the camera pans down to a young woman walking up to it. She stops and looks at her watch. M/S of the road, there are no buses in sight. C/U of the girl looking around, she looks off to her left and walks out of the frame. M/S of the river Thames, a man is sailing up it in a Power Ski which is a small boat with a motor on the back, and a rail on the front which he uses for steering, he sails past the camera. M/S as the girl walks down to the river bank and waves to attract the man. C/U of her face as she smiles.
M/S as the man sails up to where she is standing, a man in a bowler hat and mackintosh walks up behind her and pulls the boat into the bank, he helps the girl on in front of the driver, she waves at him and he steps back. M/S as the boat drives away, M/S of the man in the hat watching them. M/S as they sail up the river, C/U of their hands on the rail as he uses a lever to steer the boat. The boat speeds towards the camera. M/S of the two on the boat, she speaks to him.
M/S of the back of the boat as it powers through the water. M/S as they come to a stop at her destination and she steps off the boat, she waves as he sails off again.

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.
