Some of the footage was instantly recognisable from The Future of things Past, an hour-long documentary broadcast on Channel 4 20 or more years ago now. I still have it on VHS! This present offering is a pretty slipshod affair though, unlike The Future of Things Past which gave the events greater dignity than being presented out of context, washed over with wholly irrelevant folk music and juxtaposed with the new-age posturings of the Green Man Festival (if that's what it is) which looks more like an American Ren Fair. Gawd help us all!
