1957 Men, Women and Clothes - 5 Informal Clothes
19 May 1957
Everyday wear from the last 200 years.
In this programme Doris Langley Moore talks about how the capriciousness of fashion is demonstrated most readily in informal clothes, which are less expensive and therefore changed more frequently than formal attire. We are also shown an original example of the revolutionary Dior 'New Look' suit of 1947 alongside the boxy, utilitarian alternative favoured by the British Government, no less.
Dora Bryan, stalwart of British cinema throughout the 1940s and 1950s, appears in this programme demonstrating her batting skills in a 19th-century outfit.

1988-breakfast-time-interview-with-the
17 May 1988 - BBC 1
The Duke of Edinburgh warns of the catastrophic effects of human behaviour on the environment.
In an interview to mark changes to the World Wide Fund for Nature, the Duke of Edinburgh, as the International President of the WWF, talks about the new emphasis on the preservation of habitat as well as the conservation of species. Describing rainforests and other crucial eco-systems as 'living museums', he warns that, unless action is taken now, in two generations human beings will face a massive environmental crisis.
The World Wildlife Fund was set up in 1961 by renowned biologist Julian Huxley, ornithologist Peter Scott (who also founded the Wetlands Trust), Max Nicholson and Guy Mountford, with the aim of preserving the earth's wildlife. The Duke of Edinburgh was the first President of the British WWF and spoke about the importance of conservation at the organisation's inaugural dinner in Washington DC in 1962.

HG WE
hg-wells-as-i-see-it-1937-internet
A talk on the worldwide community of English speakers.
21 December 1937
In this talk for the Empire Broadcasting Service, HG Wells celebrates the power of the English language to bring together diverse communities and asks whether we are doing enough to capitalise on the possibilities it offers. Wells believes that such media as the printed word, the cinema and the radio have helped to draw the world towards speaking English as a common tongue. He calls for this 'reversal of Babel' to be followed by cheap and easy access to books for everyone. He also looks towards a time when people all over the English-speaking world might be able to search 'bibliographies' containing information about every book available in order to buy the volumes they want, and when constantly updated, freely accessible encyclopedias could put knowledge within easy reach of all.
The prediction by Wells of a method of sourcing books from anywhere in the world via 'bibliographies' eventually came to pass thanks to the rise of the internet. Amazon Books was founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994 and began trading the following year. Having diversified into toys, DVDs and music, Amazon.com is now North America's largest online retailer, with subsidiaries in China, France, Germany, Japan and the UK.

cyd-charisse-1971-unedited-recording
The elegant dancer appraises Vincente Minnelli.
In this unedited recording, dancer Cyd Charisse discusses her collaborations with director Vincente Minnelli. She credits the producer Arthur Freed with persuading Minnelli to make his films swiftly and with lots of energy. Charisse also talks briefly about dancing alongside Fred Astaire, with whom she appeared in 'The Band Wagon' (1953) and 'Silk Stockings' (1957), and planning 'Brigadoon' (1954) with Gene Kelly. Returning to Minnelli, she describes him as a director with 'a perfect eye'.
This unedited interview is presented as it was originally recorded. Therefore, there are changes in the sound levels and there may be some interruptions and interference from background noise. Parts of this interview were used in the 1982 documentary 'The Magnificent Minnellis'.

1955
1955-sniffles-and-sneezes
A 1950s “Health and Safety for You” educational film shows how the common cold is spread not just by sneezing and coughing, but through human contact. The germs are illustrated by a black smudge, and after one careless sufferer of the cold touches a door knob at school, the germs spread though books and pencils, leaving most of the students at risk. The advice given is to stay in bed (and use tissues instead of handkerchiefs, which are disposed of in a rather ingenious little trash bag pinned to the side of the bed). While teaching about how not to spread germs, the film also manages to dish out some lessons in good manners and leading a healthy lifestyle, recommending exercise and a balanced diet while remembering to wash your hands, not put pencils in your mouth, and not use other people’s straws when drinking.
