Britain on Film

[Hair Bear]

BBC4 Thursday nights.
Compilations of Rank shorts about life in the 50's and 60's. Unfortunately the series has nearly finished but still interesting.

Re: Britain on Film

The "Look at Life" documentary shorts were made originally to be screened before the main feature at Rank's cinemas (Odeon & Gaumont), following the general demise of the newsreels which had traditionally occupied that slot.

Quite a few of the complete films are available on a DVD compilation now.
