New Â鶹Éç Two series Home Movie Roadshow uncovers hidden film footage gems, and the next episode features rarely seen footage filmed by Terry Jones of his Monty Python co-stars.
In the new series, which started last week, Dan Cruickshank and Kirsty Wark present 100 years of Britons' lives filmed on home movie cameras, proving that shooting a video and showing it off to the public isn't a new thing.
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 a clip taken from the next programme, Jones explains to Wark how he would capture the madcap antics of the Pythons at work and play before they hit the big time.
In the early days of Monty Python's Flying Circus, the team had little idea of how big the show would become, so Jones wanted to capture the moment on film - an early nod to his future in directing.
You can see the episode on Friday 13 August at 9.30pm on Â鶹Éç Two Wales, and watch the previous episode now on Â鶹Éç iPlayer.

Some of what has come to light was been screened this July in a special field cinema at the New Forest Agricultural Show. The project is fronted up by the New Forest Centre in Lyndhurst.

The clip showed the boys scout movement filmed in black and white in 1930. This clip followed directly a piece showing Princess Diana and Prince Charles visiting a hospice. The music was played throughout the coverage of the boys scout movement.

It is 3 weeks since I saw the programme, and the music is still haunting me. This series contained some absolutely brilliant film/music combinations, well-done to the compilers, compulsive viewing
