And here’s a black and white version of October’s timelapse of Saltburn. In some ways, the black and white effect adds to the experience.

The Masterplan / Oasis (1995)
So The Masterplan is 30 years old today. Do you feel old yet?
The Lonely Shore / BBC (1962)
The BBC archive has just thrown up this lovely little clip. Shot in 1962, this short Ken Russel piece can only be described as a post apocalyptic archeological report. It has good fun misidentifying various pieces of 60s paraphernalia and contains a couple of sly digs at archaeology’s propensity to call anything it doesn’t understand ’religious’.
It also has a few subtle hints as to the nature of this post apocalyptic world; there’s still no mass production, no knowledge of radiation, nor (given the ignorance of the electric fire) apparently, electricity. Indeed, destruction must have been almost total – no books, no photos, no pictures. Even no real oral history.
The BFI also has a nice article on The Lonely Shore here.

Six Spectacular Slipways – Launching Lifeboats at the RNLI
This is a lovely little video of RNLI boat launches. I especially like the Lizard Point launch – having walked the coastal path above that lifeboat station I can tell you it’s quite a drop down to both the cliff to the station and from the station to the sea!
Xibalba / Clint Mansell with the Kronos Quartet (2006)
Clint Mansell’s really rather delightful ‘Xibalba’ from the soundtrack to 2006’s The Fountain. I remember really enjoying The Fountain at the time and I should probably go back and give it another watch.
