846 Talking Pictures
First viewed : 25 January 1988
This was a ten part BBC 1 documentary on the history of film created and presented by who else but Barry Norman. The ten episodes dealt with genres rather than periods allowing a more unified thematic approach. The series was noted for its liberal use of soft focus photography when interviewing the survivors from yesteryear. Pride of place went to a still lucid 96 year old film director Hal Roach who launched Harold Lloyd and Laurel and Hardy in the silent era.
