I have a 2 x 400' B/W copy of a 1960s documentary called 100 Years Underground about the history of The Tube. I believe the film was originally released by Perry's Movies.

Does anyone have a copy of the original box artwork of this release? There's little or no information about the original doc or the Super 8 release online.

Would love to get any pointers or information about this title too.

I'm sure I've seen it on TV under that title. I don't know any more about the Super 8 release though.

Just looked at my copy of "Moving Images" by John Reed 1990.
Quote:-
"1963 was the year London's underground railway celebrated its centenary. The occasion was marked by A Hundred Years Undergound , a 40 minute documentary made in 1964 by British Transport Films in association with the BBC. It was shown on television the following year."

Thanks, Maurice and Brian. BFI told me they have two copies of the film on 35mm!

Still looking for artwork if anyone has it?
