British Pathe

Hey,

British Pathe have just set up a website:


http://www.britishpathe.com/

"Now you are here you can preview items from the entire 3500 hour British Pathe Film Archive which covers news, sport, social history and entertainment from 1896 to 1970."


A quick go on the search engine reveals The Scarecrow promo to be there (in colour), plus this:

OUT TAKES / CUTS FROM CP 665 - WILDFOWL TRUST, SWINGING LONDON and PINK FLOYD (1:52:07:00 - 2:04:07:00) 1967

"Cuts for story SWINGING LONDON in CP 665. Similar footage to cut story of brickwork and buildings being demolished. Several different shots of swinging London (rather nicer than the ones in the cut story); young people walking around the streets; clothes shops; a cameraman sets up a shot in the street (we see film camera - probably not Pathe) and adjusts a group of young swingers before filming; girls looking through records outside a shop; C/Us of several shop signs including John Michael and Bazaar. Some good street scenes in these cuts.

Cuts for story PINK FLOYD in CP 665. Similar footage to cut story; members of band Pink Floyd wander about fields, lie on the grass and pretend to have a shoot-out. The first sequence shows Roger Waters and Nick Mason having their shoot-out, and seem to be trying not to collapse into giggles. Roger Waters lies on his front on the grass, twitches from the groin a few times and rolls over.... very interesting."


Guess it's clips from The Scarecrow again?

You can download previews for free, but it seems you have to pay to download the entire thing... and it's not cheap!!
