How To Prepare A Perfect Picnic - Picnic Days (1935)
How to prepare the perfect picnic for the warm days that you spent outside. Learn here how to make your side dishes look and taste amazing.
Titles read: 'NOW THE Special Pathe Pictorial Section for the Ladies - Picnic Days'.
Pathe Studio, London.
On a set dressed to look like a kitchen we see various shots of a woman making food for picnics. First she makes sausage rolls, and we hear some tips from the commentator on how to give them that professional touch. The woman puts the sausage rolls in the oven. When they are cooked she puts them on a wire rack to cool then sets them out on a plate.
Next we see a plate full of tasty little patties, filled with prawns, olives or anchovies. Then we are shown how to cut bits of cucumber into baskets and fill with cheese and mayonnaise. The girl makes some individual fruit jellies then prepares a green salad.
Cut to the woman eating her lovely picnic food in the countryside (the real thing, not a set) with her two young sons. Their wonderful 30s car is parked beside the picnic rug.
Note: female commentator.

10 Amazing Facts About Twins
Description:
Despite the fact the internet has seemingly made the world a smaller place, it is actually just as big as it’s always been. Don’t believe us? Just take a trip across the ocean to another continent and then get back to us about how different things are. Ok, you don’t even need to take a flight, just hop in the car and drive several hours in any direction and you’ll find that the place you end up in is different in many ways from the place you left. Culture, religion, politics and landscape can be very different just a couple hundred miles down the road – even if it’s still in the same country. Yes, the communications revolution may have brought people closer together but the world remains as diverse and large as it was decades ago.
For North Americans, Britain and the rest of the United Kingdom is one of the most familiar of the world’s foreign lands. After all, while the English we speak may be different today in a number of ways, the language so many of us are familiar with today has its roots across the Atlantic Ocean. In the grand scheme, whether you live in Canada or the United States, your country, in one way or another, owes its existence to this overseas kingdom. Both countries may have gone about reaching independence very differently, but in the grand scheme both exist because of the vast empire which existed long ago.
Despite the historical and language ties which we share with England and the UK, once you take a closer look at this land, there are a number of characteristics which we might think of as being rather weird. There are the generalizations and stereotypes which most us know; such as belief that the British all have bad teeth, it rains every day and the beer is always served warm. There are, actually, quite a few other things about the UK that are weird and not based on stereotype or generalization. These are the ‘little things’ that set this part of the world apart from other English speaking lands.
The following video looks at some of the weirdest things a traveller might find in the United Kingdom. Our other videos have dealt with strange things like Haggis and cheese racing, so we’ll move on to some other items you may be less familiar with. Ahead are a number of things you’ll find weird (if you’re not from the UK) from various laws and foods to word pronunciations, television shows and customs. Of course, these doesn’t make the people of the UK weird – well, any weirder than the rest of us.

Our Daily Bread - Reel 2 (1962)
Continued from Reel 1. Sunblest bread being made at bakeries.
Reel 2. Big dollops of dough are flopped out of large machines into bins, covered with cloth and left to ferment. Dough goes through machinery, being kneaded and cut then rolled into sausage shapes. Men put them in tins on a conveyor belt; they go into ovens and come out cooked the other side (obviously takes a bit longer than this!). Commentator compares this method to the old way that 'Grandmama' used to make bread, saying We've made our bread better, and even more hygienic. Loaves on cooling conveyor belt.
Men in white coats and hats make loaf shapes: cottage, Vienna, French sticks, French rolls, bloomers, baps and fruit loaves, that head towards the ovens. White loaves are sliced and wrapped by machines. Wrapped traditional Scottish batch loaves on conveyor belt; several shots show processes involved in making them with crust at the top and bottom only.
In the despatch department workers load orders onto trolleys that are stacked into the back of trucks. Sunblest vans drive out of the depot and away from the bakery buildings. Van drives through town, stops outside bakery and man delivers pallet into shop. Lovely footage as woman customer buys a Sunblest loaf and squeezes it to test the freshness. Great shots of women choosing loaves in supermarket. Elderly woman in grocer's picks loaf off counter and pays man (this is really nice footage). Exterior of corner grocery. Several good shots of men going round housing estates with big baskets of bread, selling door to door to housewives. Excellent footage of women cooking with bread at home - bread pudding, omelette with fried bread, summer pudding, croutons on soup, Brown Betty Pudding, fried cheese sandwich (yeuch!), little hamburgers on small rolls, toast topping casserole. All really good for illustrating suburbia, middle-class lifestyle, housewives etc.
Back at the pub the landlady prepares bready 'appetisers'. Canadian, Rector and Miller order bread and cheese from barman to go with tomatoes and tuck into the titbits. Fade into shots of plates of bread, cheese and tomatoes. Miller spouts about how fascinating bread is (cataloguer begs to differ by now). Combine harvesters in wheat field.

How To Serve Savouries - Cooking Tips (1957)
The famous husband and wife cooking team, Fanny and John Cradock, are showing some of the ways to serve savouries. The presentation of the food is as important as the food itself.
An elegant woman is seen squeezing a bright yellow substance through an icing tube creating carnations and putting them on the plate. Carnations are just another way to serve butter - colour it with some harmless food dye and squeeze it through the icing tube on a little cube of bread shaping a flower. Excellent!
Next come swans made of hard boiled eggs. Two thin slices are cut off vertically at each side of the egg. Then, a pipe cleaner is shaped into S and placed on top of the egg creating swan's long neck and head. Two cut pieces are 'glued' back to the sides with mashed potato (or cream). Mrs Cradock places the swan with the other swans - on the plate covered with chopped parsley.
John Cradock scoops small cheese balls to place them on a plate as flower petals. With a bit of butter in the middle and couple of real mint leaves they look very nice - almost too nice to eat.
And finally, Mrs Fanny Cradock shows the audience how to 'sculpture' an orange into a basket and some other decorative things. Story ends with C/U of a plate with different decorative things made of oranges.

A Shot that Changed the World - The Assassination of Franz Ferdinand I PRELUDE TO WW1 - Part 3/3
On June 28th, 1914, Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, a nationalist working for the Serbian underground organisation Black Hand (officially known as Unification or Death). From today's perspective, the assassination is seen as the event that triggered the chain reaction leading to the outbreak of the Great War. These events are known today as the July Crisis. Only one month after the shot, on July 28th, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia.

Country Town (1943)
More from our archives:
The British Council Film Collection is an archive of more than 120 short documentary films made by the British Council during the 1940s designed to show the world how Britain lived, worked and played. Preserved by the BFI National Film Archive and digitised by means of a generous donation by Google, the films are now yours to view, to download and to play with for the first time.
Set in Boston, Lincolnshire, this short film aims to introduce the viewer to a typical, thriving, market town. Narrated by the friendly local newspaper editor, County Town focuses on the themes of community and industry, gently and genially exploring the changes brought about by World War 2.
This film is set in the town of Boston, Lincolnshire (identifiable by the often-shown tower of St Botolph's church, known locally as 'The Stump'), though no names are given in the film. Whilst the effects of the war are often mentioned, it is often as an aside, or presented as a positive change for the area. This film strongly promotes country living, presenting the town's inhabitants as hard-working, but happy. It also portrays the town as making a real contribution to the war effort, along with those who have moved out from the cities to live there.
It is speculated that the newspaper editor, credited as Philip Robinson, may actually be the editor of the Lincolnshire Standard, as the paper was/is owned by the Robinson family.
The man walking towards St Botolph's at the beginning of the film has been identified by the local parish committee as Mr Holton. He was the Clark of Works during the 1920's / 1930's restoration of the church, and then stayed on as the verger thereafter. He is depicted in vergers robes and can also be seen in one of the church's stained glass windows as a figure clad in green, holding books.

How Tea Time Came to England
There’s nothing quite as quintessentially British as a cuppa tea. But how did the Chinese tradition make its way into the British consciousness? It’s all thanks to Catherine of Braganza, a Portuguese royal who married England’s King Charles II in 1662. When she arrived in England, she brought with her loose leaves and spices in a set of crates labeled “Transporte de Ervas Aromatics,” or T.E.A. Soon, everyone wanted to be just like the Queen and sales of tea began to skyrocket. The rest, as they say, is history.

Various shots of people standing and reading from books at the outdoor stalls of a bookshop. One woman eats a sandwich as she reads. Nice C/Us of people looking at books. A young boy speaks to an assistant and is handed the answers to the questions asked in his book on trigonometry.
Few shots of children looking at books. The woman with the sandwich finishes her lunch, then marks her place in the book with a bus ticket and puts it back on the shelf. Commentator says Let's hope nobody will buy it before she can go on from the same place tomorrow.
