I finally absorbed the BFI's new Blu-ray release featuring a 21st Century score for a film as much about 1925 as the events it depicts from 1905. That said, resistance is timeless.

Colourisation of monochrome films and photographs is such a weird complete waste of time activity.
You wouldn't look at a Goya 'Disasters of War' etching or a Bewick woodcut of a goose and say 'You know what? I could really improve that a lot if I coloured it in."

Probably the coolest Mrs Lyons in any filmed version of the Sherlock Holmes novel.

For decades, wildlife policy has defined recovery as survival, keeping species alive, but not truly allowing them to live.
From wolves to grizzlies to bison, we’ve settled for the bare minimum. What if conservation meant more than avoiding extinction?

Wildlife recovery means more than just survival of a species
Current laws that deem species safe from extinction ignore their ecological role, geographic range and genetic diversity, as well as their relationships with people.
