His facial expressions says it all. It is a very touching scene especially when the officer becomes overwhelmed by the moving images.

The officer was played by the world's best actor of the last century! So no wonder, brilliant scene!

I really enjoyed that scene. The policeman pensively waits to see what crime Friese-Greene is about to admit to. Then he has the privilege of being the first to share those original filmed clips. A historic moment.

Best dramatic scene in the film. Yes. I'm a big fan of the BBC2 early morning films at the weekends.
