The first episode was a general history of the company - the Burns factory wasn't included.
The second one mainly dealt with the development of sound and the introduction of the voice-over (oddly, it didn't say anything about the famous library music used). It contained a remembrance of the very well-known Pathé announcer, Bob Danvers-Walker (who moved on to work for Associated Rediffusion Television after 1955) and also dealt with the war years and the way in which the business model for newsreels declined after the reintroduction of television and its slow spread around the UK from the late 1940s onward. Still no Burns factory footage...
Maybe episode three?
Here's what http://www.radiotimes.com has to say about that one:

The Story of British Pathe
Thursday 01 September; 9:00pm - 10:00pm; BBC4
Entertaining Britain (3/4)
Here's another side of Pathé, not news but the cinematic magazine, full of soft features, household hints and the utterly bizarre. It's thought-provoking social history, starting with the images of so-called "surplus women" after the slaughter of the First World War. Not that this is an earnest study, it's full of entertainment, from the flappers on a boating party in skimpy frocks to outright voyeuristic sauciness. And there are touching moments too, with a Second World War tear-jerker. Much later, when black-and-white TV was the competitor, the fi lms burst with colour and kitsch style. It certainly looks like we never had it so good.

So maybe...
And here's the following episode:
QUOTE:
The Story of British Pathe
Thursday 08 September; 9:00pm - 10:00pm; BBC4
Around the World (4/4)
The company's travelogues and anthropological films, which helped shape British views of life overseas in the years before package holidays made foreign tourism accessible to the majority of the population. The programme also examines what Pathe newsreels reveal about the experiences of British holiday-makers in the 1950s, and looks back at the company's coverage of royal visits to Commonwealth countries. Narrated by Verity Sharp. Last in the series.

So my money's on this Wednesday (1st September).
