Forget Jamie Oliver and go back to a time when "pukka" was a word in common parlance. Echoes of the Raj, the latest of the History Zone Films, is a glorious collection of home movies and personal recollections of life in India during the two decades before independence in 1947. For the Brits it was an era of endless social events, ceremonies and a very strict etiquette that controlled everything, including where you sat at an official dinner. Among the wonderfully evocative pieces of footage are scenes of porters carrying a memsahib's treasured possessions up the mountains to Simla and of one family's three-week trek to Gilgit near the north-west frontier. A thoroughly enjoyable film, it is preceded by One Foot in the Past at 7.35pm, which uncovers the overlooked power of interior decoration. (JR)
