Synopsis

You don't need to enjoy sport to appreciate this remarkable window on Britain's past. Compiled from rediscovered silent documentary footage, shot in black and white more than a century ago, it's a fascinating mix of action and crowd scenes that vividly captures some of the sporting and leisure events enjoyed by our Edwardian ancestors. Naturally, football features prominently (including Newcastle v Liverpool in 1901, plus Bradford City's first ever game), while an early 'throwing' storm at Old Trafford demonstrates that cricketing controversy isn't a modern occurrence. Elsewhere, film of athletics championships, cycling races and rugby league are both entertaining and illuminating, giving a far more meaningful picture of ordinary people's lives than any history book could.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
