Six 'romantic' episodes of the well-loved hit show As Time Goes By individually selected by the Director & Producer Sydney Lotterby.
For the best part of a millennium Windsor Castle has been at the heart of the national story; the awesome fortress; family home; treasure chest; and burial ground for the Royal dynasty who went on to take its name. But there is another unseen side to the Castle which the tourists never see... It is the real Windsor - home workplace playground and paradise. The Queen's Castle explores this hidden world in all its glory. Last year for the first time ever Windsor opened its doors to an observational documentary team with the full approval of the Queen. The cameras chronicled a year in the life of the world's largest inhabited castle to produce a spectacular landmark documentary for BBC1. Delving behind-the-scenes the team meet not only the Royal family but also some of their four hundred staff at work; from the Queen's housekeeper to her grooms; fender smiths and flag men; picture restorers; military knights and priests - all of whom live and work within the Castle's nine hundred rooms... Windsor Castle's 'back garden' is the 15 000 acre Great Park; together they play host to a unique collection of events - the pageantry of Garter Day the glamour of Cartier Polo and the tradition of Royal Ascot. November sees the Castle thrown into the international spotlight when President and Madame Chirac spent two days at the Castle attending an official State Dinner and even an abridged version of Les Miserables organised by the Queen in the Waterloo Room (renamed the Music Room for that one night!). For all these events and activities both big and small the cameras were there with unique access following the people who made them happen. The Queen and Prince Philip spend most weekends of the year at Windsor. Throughout the series the rpogramme tries to explain why the Queen loves Windsor so much using exclusive interviews with Prince Philip to explain how a young Royal couple made Windsor a family home for their four children; even installing a solar powered swimming pool in the Georgian Orangery. Watch as the young Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie support Prince Harry playing polo. Throughout the series the Ranger of Windsor Great Park guides viewers through the vast expanse of Windsor Castle; whether on the polo field in the private Windsor Chapel or through the vast Crown Estate. Since the Ranger happens to be the Duke of Edinburgh - the longest serving Ranger in history you'll be in good company! This is a sight-seeing journey that no tourist has ever been on!

Titles Comprise: Friday the 13th: Camp Crystal Lake has a bad history. A history drenched in blood. For over 20 years no-one has disturbed its deathly silence... until now. Often imitated but never equalled Friday The 13th is a relentless exercise in sustained terror. Unlike the luckless teenagers who go to Camp Crystal Lake it will live forever as the most shocking film of its kind. The Exorcist: The belief in evil - and that evil can be cast out. From these two strands of faith author William Peter Blatty and director William Friedkin wove The Exorcist the frightening and realistic story of an innocent girl inhabited by a malevolent entity. Academy Award winner Friedkin who introduces the film and supervised this new video transfer from restored picture and audio elements gets effective performances from Linda Blair Ellen Burstyn Jason Miller Max von Sydow and Lee J. Cobb. The Exorcist remains 25 years later one of the most shocking and gripping movies ever made. Poltergeist: Suburbanites Steve (Nelson) and Diane (Williams) suddenly experience paranormal activity in their home. What begins as minor excitement quickly turns into nasty ghostly encounters. The disappearance of their daughter Carol Anne (O'Rourke) forces the Freelings to bring in parapsychologists and a professional exorcist to exorcise their home. Directed by Tobe Hooper and featuring Oscar Nominated Visual Effects by Richard Edlund Michael Wood and Bruce Nicholson Poltergeist is one of the most entertaining horror films of its time. The Shining: Think of the greatest terror imaginable. Is it a monstrous alien? A lethal epidemic? Or as in this harrowing masterpiece from Stanley Kubrick is it fear of murder by someone who should love and protect you - a member of your own family? From a script he co-adapted from the Stephen King novel Kubrick melds vivid performances menacing settings dreamlike tracking shots and shock after shock into a milestone of the macabre. In a signature role Jack Nicholson plays Jack Torrance who's come to the elegant isolated Overlook Hotel as off-season caretaker with his wife (Shelley Duvall) and son (Danny Lloyd). Torrance has never been there before - or has he? The answer lies in a ghostly time warp of madness and murder.

Of course the crew are too busy to notice, after all they re very behind schedule. Wesley is the first to discover that the Zombies are real, and he tries to escape the now deadly film set with a small group of survivors. ME AND MY MATES VS THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE The zombie apocalypse has just hit blue collar Australia. Darryl gets trapped in a telephone exchange with several of his co-workers.

Darryl finds himself stuck in a situation that only has two outcomes: life and death, both of which come with an ever present lack of beer.
Bedtime Stories: A fantastical tale about a man who makes up bedtime stories for his niece and nephew only to find that they magically come true the next day, Bedtime Stories is a funny and enjoyable film about finding happiness in unexpected places. Skeeter (Adam Sandler) grew up with his sister Wendy (Courteney Cox) in a small hotel run by his father Marty (Jonathan Pryce) which was eventually sold to Barry Nottingham (Richard Griffiths) with the caveat that Skeeter would someday assume a leadership role in the business. Expansion transformed the small hotel into the luxury Nottingham Hotel, but Skeeter is just a handyman with little hope of advancement. When his sister needs to leave the state for a job interview, Skeeter ends up sharing the responsibility of watching her two elementary-age children Bobbi (Laura Ann Kessling) and Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit), whom he hasn't seen for years, with Wendy's friend Jill (Keri Russell). Initially an awkward situation, Skeeter and the kids bond over bedtime stories which Skeeter and the children make up. When events in the story start coming true, Skeeter tries to spin the stories to benefit his life, but events take some unexpected turns thanks to the kids' wild imaginations and some strange translations between fiction and reality. New relationships flourish and in the end, Skeeter, Wendy, Mr. Nottingham, Bobbi, Patrick, and Jill each find happiness in a most unexpected place and discover what's really important in their own life. Also worth mentioning is the character Bugsy, a guinea pig with enormous eyes that's sure to have every child begging for their own pet guinea pig. Rated PG for mild rude humor and mild language, but appropriate for most ages 6 and older. --Tami HoriuchiEnchanted: If youre looking for signs that the modern-day Disney has lost neither its touch nor its savvy nature, then theres evidence in abundance in the smart modern-day fairy tale Enchanted. Bookended by the kind of old-style animation the studio is rightly famed for, the main, live action segment of the film finds Amy Adams Giselle--an archetypal Disney princess in pretty much every sense--dropped slap bang into the middle of modern day New York. What follows is ingenious fun, as Giselle walks round very much as a fish out of water, followed quickly by James Marsdens prince who attempts to come to the rescue. Thing is, modern day New York and old style princesses dont really mix, and Enchanted studiously mines the comedy of the scenario, thanks to a smart and witty script.What also lifts Enchanted though are the delightful tips of the hat to classics of Disney old. And were not just talking the show-stopping numbers: there are references to the likes of Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty to be found here, and a star-making performance from Adams powering the whole film forward. One of the very best family movies of 2007, Enchanted does occasionally stumble through the odd twee moment (and it could really use a villain with more screen time than Susan Sarandons wicked stepmother gets), but that cant hide the fact that its terrific fun, lavishly made and, at its best, quite brilliant. A modern day family classic, and great to see Disney once again delivering the kind of entertainment it excels at. --Simon Brew
