Launched in 2015 around 2,500 films preserved by the BFI National Archive including home movies, documentaries and news footage from Victorian times to the 1980s are available online via BFI Player. Films of interest include what is believed to be the first surveillance footage shot in 1935 to entrap an illegal betting ring, and the first film to be used as evidence in a British court of law. There are also 1960s documentaries aimed at a Middle Eastern audience showing happy and engaged Muslim communities in Manchester and Cardiff – the message being, please come and live in the UK. What are believed to be the earliest surviving home movies, from 1902, are also hosted. Films can be searched by location, decade, or subject headings such as terraced houses, castles and street scenes.

This site accompanies a major sixty part series broadcast from October 2014 on Radio 4. A joint collaboration by the BBC and the Open University, the series presents a wide-ranging foray into the history of ideas according to scientists, philosophers, linguists, and religious and political thinkers. The programmes are accompanied by a series of short but cleverly designed animations, voiced by Gillian Anderson and Harry Shearer, each of which presents a snapshot view of a particular philosophical problem or idea. Current themes include the nature of freedom, knowing wrong from right, the origins of the universe, has technology changed us and what makes us human. The Open University also has a page devoted to the series, with links to the animations themselves as well as to other relevant textual and audiovisual resources from Open University academics and researchers.
