Summary A unique exploration of the dramatic social, political and cultural transformation of the Western world during the first half of the 20th century, bringing the period vibrantly to life for 21st century viewers through the exclusive use of British Pathé's evocative newsreel footage. Time to Remember captures the iconic and pivotal moments - as well as new and passing social trends - from 1896 through to 1945. Updated from the landmark 1960s series of the same name, these themed episodes feature the original narrative from celebrated actors Sir Michael Redgrave, Sir Ralph Richardson, Joyce Grenfell and Sir Anthony Quayle. In this episode, Lesley Sharp narrates as original newsreel and 1950s voiceover are used to illustrate how Britons spent their leisure time during the first half of the 20th century. Includes footage of Henley regattas, frolics at the seaside, the Victorian fairground, horse riding in Hyde Park, Royal Ascot in 1919, Deauville in the 20s and the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley
