The clip is innocuous, but pleasant, and it contains shots of the interior of the BFI. The host of the clip actually plays a rudimentary kind of silent movie accompaniment at the piano.

Quite a nicely done piece. The interiors you see are part of the BFI National Archive's conservation centre at Berkhamsted. The presenter is Myleene Klass, ubiquitous on British TV, a pop singer, model and classical pianist, hence the accompaniment skills.

Thank you Urbanora. I had never heard of Klass, and it was rather striking to see the host of such a piece sit down and play along with a clip quite as convincingly as she does here.
