Hats off to Sagar Mitchell and James Kenyon, of Blackburn.

To quote from one of the links below :-

'It is the film equivalent of the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb - a
century ago, two entrepreneurs toured Britain capturing working-class life
on camera.'

This stuff pre-dates silent movies. All scratches have been removed and people move at the right speed.

Next showing BBC2 Friday 21 Jan 9 p.m.

What is all the fuss about ? Click below for the in depth information.
With luck you may be able to obtain a copy on DVD in the future even if you do not live in the UK.
