BBC News 12 September 2012

The world's first colour moving pictures dating from 1902 have been found by the National Media Museum in Bradford after lying forgotten in an old tin for 110 years.

The discovery is a breakthrough in cinema history.

Michael Harvey from the National Media Museum and Bryony Dixon from the British Film Institute talk about the importance of the discovery.

There are maybe thousands of old home movies that look just like this.

This is the first.

1. It would be interesting to

find out what kind of lives those kids lived. Whenever I see old movies with kids in them I always wonder what actually became of them.

2. What became of them? They're all dead now.

3. Gee ya think

I would hope that some other stuff happened between the time the film was taken and the slight possibility that they may have expired in the last 110 years.

4. I'd put pretty good odds on the 110 years thing.
