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.

In "Echoes of the Past." The tea in India leads Burke to the ritual of the Japanese tea ceremony and Zen Buddhism, and porcelain takes him to the architecture in Florence and Freemasons. Moving back in time and across continents, Burke finds the links to secret coding, and from there to radio-telephones and the science of radio astronomy, which allows scientists to listen to sounds from the rest of the universe.
Life Is No Picnic begins with an overview of the coffee consumed during WWII and 19th century theories of evolution. Burke ties these to the invention of nylon and the "Star Spangled Banner." In his usual upbeat style, he then discusses a new method of calculating astronomical dates, the death of Descartes, the Royal Society, and how jellyfish contributed to the fame of Charles Darwin.
