    30 years before kind hearts and coronets (1949) places us in the time of silent movies which were mostly American. So, another stab in the dark - was it the first moving film in colour brought out in 1902 and marketed by Charles Urban ? Then a massive success but now only viewable in the National Media Museum in Bradford.

    What about a film about one of the explorers returning? Shackleton?

    What about a film/news reel about the end of the great war?

    That's the one - a documentary & propaganda film that included actual footage of the lead up to, and early days of, the battle - the only scene that was staged was one where troops were crouched ready to go 'over the top'. The public were so eager to see footage of the battle that half the population flocked to see it.

    Over to you...

    A reasonably easy one for my very first contribution to setting a question for the Pub Quiz:

    Hunstanton on the coast of Norfolk has an unusual distinction. What is it?

    Yes - that'll do. It's the only resort on the East Coast whose beach faces west - which is the same thing. Told you it was easy.
