Britain's first ever sci-fi film 'Message from Mars' restored

Britain's first ever sci-fi film, dating back to 1913, has been restored as part of a special project by BBC Arts and the British Film Institute.
A Message from Mars follows the story of a Martian, who is sent to Earth as a punishment for misbehaving.
The silent film has been given a new soundtrack, composed by creative director Matthew Herbert.
Brian Robinson from the BFI told BBC Breakfast: "Anything that's last for 100 years is going to have some elements of decay... those had to be painstakingly removed."

Let's hope they show it at the correct speed of 18 frames per second and not the more modern 24 frames per second which will make it look ridiculous.

We managed with hieroglyphics so Martian should be a cinch!
