outstanding... I wish I could have lived back then... so peaceful.. no threat of terrorism :( Does anyone remember a programme that was on BBC1 about two years ago , lost footage of a guy touring England in the 20s and taking moving pictures in colour. The presenter followed in his footsteps .. if anyone can rememeber the name, I would appreciate it . Thanks

It was "The Twenties in Colour" and the photographer was someone called Khan. I think. I know what you mean, I always dream of living in the twenties, life was simpler, social networking didn't exist and radical changes were happening. God I'm sentimental.

@jrb1802uk Friese-Greene. We had only just come out of the biggest war the planet had ever seen, and we were soon going to embark on another. Peaceful? No.
