However, in the most part, the narration of the films was provided by well known celebrities and presenters of the time including Raymond Baxter, Eamonn Andrews, Wynford Vaughan-Thomas, and Sid James, but the majority of the films were narrated by actor Tim Turner. At the end of each film the caption "Take a Look at Life Again Soon" would appear on screen. When the first issue of "Look at Life", "Marrakesh" was released in March 1959, it was hailed in the trade journals as an "exciting venture in film journalism" and Rank announced this innovation would have "a more lasting impact than the present ephemeral newsreel content". "Look at Life" was a popular formula but did become rather frozen in time with its light-hearted presentation and jaunty theme tune and despite subtle changes to the opening titles, their graphics and the introduction of the Rank 'gong' logo at the beginning of later films. Television led audiences into a documentary world that had more grit and less glamour than the relative escapism of the cinema and by 1969 Rank could no longer ensure the survival of the series and the concept waned just as other newsreels and magazine films also available at that time, such as the Pathé Pictorial which was shown on the rival ABC cinema circuit, and as cinema audience continued to decline rapidly on the verge of the 1970s. Over 500 episodes were produced altogether. Digitally restored from the original film elements, the "Look at Life" series is now licensed by ITV Studios Global Entertainment, previously known on screen as Granada Ventures and distributed by the Network imprint. Many of the films have not been seen in full since their original screenings in the cinemas, although a number of films have been previously released on Super 8 and on DVD in themed categories. These include "Look at Life – Swingin' London", which explores elements of contemporary London life, work and traditions and "Look at Life – On the Railways", which represented the great changes that were taking place to Britain's railways in the wake of the modernisation programme and the decline of steam. However Network has gradually released box-sets of the films in volumes. Volume 1 – "Transport" is a four disc compilation released in 2010 and contains 54 films on the theme of transport. Look at Life Volume 2 – "Military" was released in June 2011, while Volume 3 – "Science" was released in September 2011. Two further volumes, Volume 4 – "Sport" and Volume 5 – "Cultural Heritage", were for release in August and November 2012 respectively.
