Dan Cruickshank and Kirsty Wark prove that shooting a video and showing it off to the public isn't a new thing, as they present 100 years of Britons' lives filmed on home movie cameras.

After an appeal to people to send in their favourite pieces of home movie footage, an expert team of film historians pored over the results as well as amateur film footage held in the nation's archives. The team then took to the road in a specially constructed 'cinebus' to hear about the films in person.

In London, the team see beautiful colour footage of the Festival of Britain from 1951; there's an insider's story of the raising of the Mary Rose, with underwater footage shot on 8mm; and of the many Queen's Silver Jubilee home movies there's one very special record.
