Zeppelin.

This has some excellent archive footage, although the commentary is a little Mills and Boon at times.

Re: Zeppelin.

Re: Zeppelin.

One to watch in small doses, love the old footage, but the commentary is nauseating.


Time wasting is an artform.

Re: Zeppelin.

I watched it in one go and was worried that I might be the only one that found the 'soundtrack' to be rubbish. I now regret using the word 'commentary' above. Did we all notice the artistic mistakes? Where they've turned the film over to 'fool' us into thinking there's more film than there is? Either that or the German with the chewing gum also had an Arabic typewriter. And the crew that is running about during the storm are clearly wearing American uniforms. etc. There was no need for that nonsense, they could just have made it an hour long and cut that stupid woman's ramblings.

Re: Zeppelin.

How Britain took to the air. This is a similar programme about the aircraft of the 20s and 30s. I've only watched a couple of minutes so far, but it seems to be quite good, and it doesn't have a screenplay by Barbara Cartland to contend with..
