Hi, well, I am not sure how to play this item. I cannot find a visible play
button for my screenreader though just near the facebook link there seems to
be an embedded object, but as it seems to have no accessable text with it,
it does nothing. Is this the player button?

From a freshly loaded page, press TAB nine times, then space-bar, it's
fairly listenable ...

For some reason that object only seems to click in Firefox 3.6, and nothing
else. May well be a flash issue.
I'm interested to note that in those days, one did not need aditional audio
for us blind folk it more or less stands as a piece of audio description.
What went wrong with the documentary makers art. Now its all dumbed down,
overlayed with music and silly graphics with no comentary that makes sense.

No problem here playing it in Firefox 8. After telling NoScript to
allow a couple of scripts (from eafa.org.uk and longtailvideo.com), the
Flash presentation ran without problem - the usual "play" arrow appeared
in the middle of the playing area.

There is a Twitter link next to the Facebook link. Both of these are
outside the Flash playing area, and not part of it.

Thank you for that wonderful film.

It's a shame that, in modern Britain, we'd have to buy one of those
from Korea as our current generation would find it hard to carry out
that sort of engineering equipped with a degree in cake-decorating and
an iPad.

It's a different world .. I love the way that the commentary assumed
that no one would be fazed by such terms as 'mutual coupling'. I can't
imagine a modern documentary going there, or if it did, trying to
describe it in words of one syllable.

Bring back Raymond Baxter.

Well tried it on a couple of machines and if you hit the "PLAY" arrow in
the middle of the screen away it goes..


Anyone spot a bit of discontinuity for a film supposed to depict an
event in 1959 its in the first few minutes...
