Episode 1: The Early Years

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Scotland HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Scotland HD

Narrated by Richard Madden, this new four-part series is a warm and nostalgic look back at how home movie-making became a cultural phenomenon. From its beginnings in the 1920s as a new and exclusive hobby of the rich, to its 'hey-day' in the 60s and 70s when just about anyone could make a movie.

But early cine cameras were hand-cranked, mechanical and cumbersome. They were also expensive, too expensive for all but the wealthiest. Show less
