I remember that Bryan - it doesn't seem that long ago, perhaps a couple of months do you think? It was fascinating. Chrissie

Hope I'm not repeating what someone else has already posted as I haven't been on here much just lately. I know some of you like to see film and stories of the past and wondered if you knew about a programme that is on BBC2 next Friday 14th Jan 9.00pm/10.00pm. It is called "The lost world of Mitchell & Kenyon. Part one of three is called Life and Times. A remarkable 800 films found in Blackburn have been restored by the BFI. Shot by the Mitchell and Kenyon company, they reveal a fascinating look at the early 20th century in the UK. Life in the new cities and cotton mills and factories is the focus tonight. Presented by Dan Cruickshank. The Radio Times has two pages of story and photographs about it. Chrissie
