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!

Oh we do like a forum! I feel some explanation of the Britannica short film might be in order from the person who commissioned it. As John Adams quite rightly pointed out, this was only ever meant to be a small, visually exciting taster, which was shown originally within the context of a launch event for the museum tour. It was put together from 22 hours of Doc's footage and shown to an audience, who for the most part were totally unfamiliar with the content, (and were also busy eating and drinking). It was made with zero funding by a budding young editor on two computers at home, not by a major TV channel. Despite these limitations, the reaction to it has been quite overwhelming and the museum website has been hit with many emails from people asking exactly the same things as some of the people here, 'where was that shot and what does that mean?', etc etc. As for the 'wholly irrelevant folk music', I imagine the person who wrote that didn't take the time to listen to Eliza Carty's lyrics and marry them to the opening image...... 'Strange, how a dreary world can suddenly change, to a world as bright as the evening stars.....'
