3D Week

Series Summary

Innovative young cameramenb Bob Angell and Arthur Wooster filmed a 3D colour newsreel of the Queen's Coronation that they named 'Royal Review'. Bob and Arthur captured the Queen at the events she attended in the lead-up to and after the Coronation in 1953, including her journey to the Coronation itself.

This series includes this previously unseen, unique 3D colour footage of the Queen during her Coronation year, including Her Majesty at the Epsom Derby and a trip on the Royal Barge on the Thames.

Arthur and Bob reveal the story behind the making of the films while remembering the mood of an era. With other archive, current - and some rarely seen - 3D and 2D footage, the series revisits the life and times of Britain in the 1950s, a time that ushered in the era of Royals on television and began the cult of Royal celebrity.
