One Potato, Two Potato (1957)
Filmed over a 12-month period by Leslie Daiken, this study of children's games played in London streets and playgrounds stands out for its freshness and spontaneity, and records the bomb sites that pockmarked London and provided many urban children with a place to play. This extract captures the post-Halloween rituals of 5 November - Guy Fawkes Night - including the once familiar call of "penny for the Guy".
