    While "rock musical" remains a phrase used by sadistic parents to give their offspring nightmares the genre does occasionally throw up the odd gem, Purple Rain being perhaps the shiniest example. Given the theatricality of Prince's stage shows, it was only a matter of time before the diminutive pop potentate found himself a big-screen vehicle but few could have predicted that Purple Rain would become nothing less than a cultural phenomenon. The story, co-written by one-time Starsky & Hutch scripter William Blinn, may be a somewhat hackneyed tale with His Purpleness overcoming a troubled background and musical rival Morris Day to achieve his dreams of rock stardom. However, the cast, which also includes Prince protegée Appollonia, rises above the clichés to hand in a set of performances which, while never likely to trouble the Oscars, prove that all concerned can at least play a rough approximation of themselves with minimal difficulty. What really helped push the film's box-office receipts through the roof, however, was its soundtrack featuring a clutch of hit singles--notably "When Doves Cry"--and which cemented our pint-sized hero's position as one of the globe's premiere performing artists. Sadly, subsequent attempts to re-bottle this particular brand of lightning with Under a Cherry Moon and Graffiti Moon would prove substantially less successful but Purple Rain still looks--and, more importantly sounds--rarely less than funktastic. --Clark Collis

    Among the more charming--and improbable--of pre-millennial success stories is the left-field crossover triumph for this Welsh soprano, 12 years old at the time of her debut, and still on the near side of her teens in this concert video. At a time when "teeny pop" reigns over MTV and radio playlists, Church's serene programme of Welsh and Irish folk airs, devotional hymns, and generally tranquil classical melodies gives alternative music an entirely new meaning.Then again, it's just possible that Church's very appeal rests on the delicate balance between the unapologetic sweetness of her music and the unforced girlishness she flashes between songs, rare qualities indeed against the harsher foil of sexualised pop culture. Given the degree to which various predecessors, from Brenda Lee to Tanya Tucker to LeAnn Rimes, have been groomed to transmit a precocious "maturity", Church's virginal typecasting may be methodically anachronistic, but at least it offers a calming refuge from the mixed messages and soft-core spin offered by Britney Spears.Director David Mallet, who has become the DeMille of up-market music videos, applies a familiar balance of sure technical craft and slick sentimentality. He dresses the Brixton Academy concert site with a faux stained glass window, flickering candlelight and delicate laser lighting units that imbue Church with a backlit radiance, just so we won't miss the angel connection. Sceptics will also note her Andrew Lloyd Webber connection (the signature Pie Jesu), as well as canny nods to Celtic chic in the inclusion of such war-horse choices as "Danny Boy" and "My Lagan Love". Still, whether or not the young star achieves her dream of singing Tosca at La Scala, for the moment Church achieves a poised lyricism that is no mean feat. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

    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!

  • Prince Charles And Prince William - Royal Rivals?Prince Charles And Prince William - Royal Rivals? | DVD | (26/02/2007) from £5.92   |  Saving you £3.07 (34.10%)   |  RRP £8.99

    The death of a mother the alienation of a wife and a lover in the background - these striking events somehow have not broken the love of these two men - father and son. This original programme asks how William and Charles have stayed so visibly fond of each other. A generous son and a great role model for his brother William was always an enormous comfort to his mother. Very different people father and son may yet become rivals as public opinion builds against Charles and Camilla becoming King and Queen. Unlike Charles William is a man of his time and perhaps here is where the rivalry could emerge. What sort of image should the King have in an increasingly modern and multicultural Britain?
