It's an extract from a recent BBC program called "The Open Road",
which is a series of films made in 1924-26 by Claude Friese-Greene
using an early colour process partly developed by his father William
Friese-Greene and which his son Claude perfected. The film traces a
journey by car from Land's End to John O'Groats and offers an
extraordinary vision of Britain in the 1920s in colour.
