A Yesterday's Witness special
Pioneer film director George Pearson remembers the golden silence of the first British feature films.
Alfred Hitchcock tells how he broke that silence with Blackmail, Britain's first all-talking Picture.
And Alexander Korda recalls how he put British films on the international silver screen with Charles Laughton and The Private Life of Henry VM.
Benny Green takes an affectionate look at the first 40 years of British cinema; those long-lost days when a night out almost always meant a night at the pictures.

Composer Percy Grainger , who was born in Melbourne on 8 July 1882, produced a large number of original pieces and arrangements of traditional tunes, which he described as elastic - capable of being executed by four, or 40 or 400 players.'
This short film celebrates the Grainger centenary with a suitably ' elastic' performance, in an unusual setting: the forecourt of Paddington Station.

It's 100 years since Darwin's death, but at the Institute for Creation Research at San Diego, California, they believe that in time his theory of evolution will become as extinct as the flat earth theory of the Middle Ages. They believe that the account of creation in the first chapter of Genesis is true and they claim they have scientific evidence to prove it. What's more, this month they are contesting a court case in Louisiana to have 'scientific creationism' taught in schools.
Professor Michael Ruse, author of "Darwinism Defended", and The Rev Lord Soper are appalled. Confronting an audience of students and staff they maintain that 'creationism is bunk'.
