- A group of motorcycle enthusiasts embark on an epic motorcycle trip from London to Beijing.
- On the day of his wife's funeral, an old man revisits an emotive place from his childhood and comes face to face with the past.
- Rachel and Becky Unthank continue their journey around England's hidden customs and dance traditions and into the dark heart of its winter pastimes. The follow-up to Still Folk Dancing After All These Years, which explored English folk dances from spring to harvest, this film explores English folk customs around the country though the other six months of the year. 200 years of political intrigue and clashes with police authorities in Lewes on Guy Fawkes Night have created an awe-inspiring procession of burning popes and other effigies of the enemies of the bonfire, not to mention a heavy police presence to this day. Throwing the Yorkshire carols of Sheffield out of the church repertoire has only served to enhance the heart-stopping show of unrestrained joy found in the powerful singing at the Royal Hotel pub in Dungworth. The longsword dancers of the North East and molly dancers of East Anglia, who have gone collecting funds each year, are a reminder that no higher power puts food on the plate. Just as these customs rely on the communities themselves to mark each point with song, remembrance and a gathering together, the very need to survive lies in the hands of your neighbour. The Unthanks discover these stories through singing, dancing, meeting people who have grown up with these traditions and trying not to get set on fire.
- Filmed in Cambridgeshire this moving documentary charts the closing of the last Victorian ironmongers in the Fens. A Pandora's box, it's a unique window into the past, little changed since Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. This hardware shop is a portal to another era when the local ironmongers was central to the community and as important as the church or school. An era when crowds in their thousands would flock to Cambridgeshire to witness world champion fen skaters compete in the icy wilderness. We meet the locals who have shopped here for generations and the owner who swore an oath never to change the shop. This poignant and resonant documentary comes at a critical point in the turbulent history of our high streets.
