| Description: | DEVON - PLAYING WITH FIRE Bizarre Guy Fawkes' night tradition in Devon - men run holding burning barrels. Devon. C/U tar and straw inside barrel being set on fire. Various shots young men running up and down village street holding aloft the burning barrel. Various night shots of Guy Fawkes night bonfire being lit, a crowd watches. Night shots men firing "hang cannons" (look like crude pistols). Various night shots men running holding larger burning barrels. C/U one man rubbing his face with a towel - he is covered in black soot and has nasty burns on his face, looks to be in pain. Narrator makes inappropriately light-hearted comment about man's injury; "he'll be back in the running next year". | |
