The pair discuss Herzog's career to date, including films such as Rescue Dawn, Grizzly Man and Fitzcarraldo - one of several projects that saw him working with eccentric actor Klaus Kinski.

[Part 1] First broadcast on New Year's Day 1991 and presented by Michael Palin, this is a three hour programme full of rare archive TV clips from the 50s onwards. It was the last of the new year archive TV specials that Channel 4 produced in association with the BFI.
[Part 1] Two sisters living in England whose family have raised them in the traditions of their native Bangladesh have very different perspectives on the issue of arranged marriage in this documentary from filmmaker Simon Chambers. Shahanara Begum is in her early 20's and has embraced life in the West with gusto -- she speaks freely and wears loud, skimpy clothes. But Shahanara's lifestyle has turned her father against her, and hoping to pacify him, she agrees to marry a man that her family has chosen for her. However, when she discovers after the ceremony that he's decided they will live in Bangladesh rather than London, she abandons her new spouse and goes back to her other boyfriend. Meanwhile, Shahanara's younger sister Hushnara Begum is quiet and dutiful, and when her folks inform her they've decided she will wed a man in Bangladesh she's never met, she meekly goes along. However, as Hushnara's wedding day draws closer, her misgivings grow stronger and stronger.
A brilliant and pretty obscure look at the flip side of swinging sixties London. Narrated by a rather sardonic and sometimes scathing James Mason, we are taken on a tour of the underbelly of London. The film is artfully edited and offers straight factual history with real life characters/ street performers/ vendors who seem very unaware of the camera. The documentary has extremely surreal and quite tragic scenes by turn and encapsulates a London undocumented in the media of the time. The film is too short and could easily have been extended to a series of particular areas of London. The film has occasional screenings in art-house cinemas and should be seen by anyone interested in the history of London and documentary makers.
