I saw this series about 20 years ago and have never forgotten it. It is haunting, evocative and completely fabulous in so many ways. Many thanks for posting it. :)

The photographs are breathtaking. Contemplating their destruction, heartwrenching. Haunting. A masterpiece.

One of the best drama's produced by the BBC. Thanks.

I think this is the most delicious series I have seen. It has lingered in my brain for twenty years .... and it still entrances me. Thank you for sharing it.

Quality British drama........no sex, no swearing, no violence. It doesn't get better than this ❤

Really excellent, thank you. And Lindsay Duncan is absolutely magnificent. Superb, riveting performance, just a superb actor.

Why, oh why, has this film made me cry- and cry so much? I can only thank you, and say say thank you to all.❤

So beautiful, never will i get fed up with this movie or the soundtrack. It always lingers in my mind for days after watching it.

LOVED this when it first came out, and ALWAYS LOVED Lindsay Duncan. Fabulous actor and a divine beautiful woman! Now I just need Perfect Strangers!

Extraordinary concept and heartfelt performances. A deeply touching story that deserves many more viewers.

I attached to this movie the first time I watched it almost two decades ago. I still go back & watch it at least twice a year! Splendid! Brilliant!

Quite simply a masterpiece..beautifully portrayed by each and every actor thank u

Thank you so much. Bravo. Wonderful and hauntingly beautiful.

Amazing...I wish I knew more people to tell about this, and only a few other English dramas that are so good it's almost incomprehensible (especially for someone from the US). I had to look up Stephen Poliakoff. I hope there are more to watch. Thank you.

Thank you to Media Bull for posting this beautiful 3 episode program. It was fascinating.

Wonderful movie great acting Really touched me it was a delight . Thank you

Brilliant thank you x

Lindsay Duncan and Tim Spall are always well worth watching!

Power likes rewriting history. SHOOTING THE PAST refers to the way we like to destroy memories, razing buildings, erasing records we dont want, repressing the truth-- such a great miniseries. See Walter Benjamin on Paris Arcades renovation by Hausmann.

I had never seen this before....thank you for bringing gk my attention. Quite the most touching and wonderfully crafted series.

Sublime. Thankyou. 🌻

Thank you for posting this up. It's a great series from Stephen Poliakoff.

Incredible acting with feeling mood music is sending me over the edge..still don't know if I quite know what's going on😱🔥

Cerebral & Emotional. Superb Film!

Extraordinary storyline , a beautifull cast , thank you .

This appeared in 1999 I was fully drawn in. The music The story acting and cast Quality from start to finish.

Such A Brilliant Creation!!! Absolutely Magical

Brilliant! Thank you for posting this masterpiece 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you for posting this. I saw it on TV when it first came out and was very impressed and bought the DVD, (it is still available). Being online means I can share it with friends. Thank you.

I've enjoyed this immensely, even though episode 2 is proving elusive. I shall keep searching. Everyone in the cast is brilliant and I'm a great admirer of Poliakoff. Thank you very much, Media Bull.

Wow...I was not expecting such an awesome story...

Brilliant. I enjoyed every second. The whole concept, the acting, the music. Just everything.

17 - 19 May 2024 I watched the three parts of "Shooting the Past". Too early to tell if it changed my life. I am one month short of 75 years of age. "Shooting the Past" has settled me right down.

This was splendid, I cannot remember enjoying a film/series so much in (literally) years; perhaps decades. Thank-You So So-Much for uploading it!!! (It’s going in My ‘Great-Movies’ Collection, and I’ll definitely be recommending it whenever possible.) Note, Re Timothy Spall: Phenomenal performance; his best Work, in My opinion. I think that the reason Timothy was able to play this Role so wonderfully is that the Character is just like him; brilliant, belligerent, creative, obstinate, maddening, endearing, and separate/alone. Watching the movie I couldn’t help thinking that (although for different reasons)… TS is very-likely to end his own Life someday; I sense so much pain and loneliness from him, it’s there in every role. I’m praying that He’ll learn (in time) how very precious and special he is as an Individual; just as himself. Some of Us burn-brightly and love passionately - fighting- hard against a Sea of pain, loneliness, isolation, etc. My Heart breaks for Those who (like Robin Williams) are engulfed, and who finally choose to end their lives in order to escape the Trauma. Thank-You for this!!

Brilliant❤❤❤❤

👍🏻.The sound of paper/photographs.

it's a gem for all ti,mes even classic thank you many times

Excellent series.

After his attempt when laying in hospital bed when the camera zooms in on his face I think his head should be in the wax museum..he just has a good neck and head you know😂

Lindsay Duncan luminously beautiful in this.

Drama as profound as this are very rare.

When the BBC was still a public service broadcaster.

Emilia fox is great in this too

Absolutely Amazing movie! I love it!😁👍👏👏👏👏

I still have this on VHS somewhere. Hit the goldmine after finding this. Try the Wonderful World of Albert Kahn.

That obnixious guy was EVIL!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I prefer the second version of Oswald.

What cld she possibly want to know about Oswald that'd be worth all this trouble? I mean nothing he said i found was really mind blowing. And, I've e found with OD's, yu either die or recover-not linger. Atleast with opiods. But great actress!! Only reason i watched

FYI UPLOADER. GIVE PEOPLE THAT ARE FEELING SUICIDAL, A BLOODY WARNING 😢😮. WOULD NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT NOW😢😢😢😢

Overly dramatic, implausible, and unconvincing....but quite good all the same.

So someone likes Peter Greenaway. Art is eclectic…or unoriginal in that the new always has roots or causes.

I personally found it obnoxious and bizarrely weird 😮😱😎💯. To OTT for me🍋😊🙄🤪

S1.E3 ∙ Part Three Marilyn arrives just in time to save Oswald's suicide but he is in a deep coma. With time running out and Anderson wavering the team work on a photo montage about a lost family secret. Anderson changes his mind, saving the archive. - imdb
