Hookhead Lighthouse the oldest lighthouse in the British Isles was formerly operated by an ancient order of monks. Lightships that were manned by daring keepers who had to endure terrible living conditions and unrelenting seas. The Ballycotton lighthouse in County Cork which was a favourite among the keepers. Fastnet in County Cork known as 'The Teardrop of Ireland' because during the days of emigration for many it would be their last sight of Ireland. The lighthouses of Bull and Calf Rock are examples of when the power of the sea proved too strong. The Skelling Islands which were occupied by an order of ancient monks who built a monastery on the edge of the cliffs hundreds of feet above the treacherous sea. The mysterious Tory island where the islanders used stones to place curses on unwelcome visitors and were used to terrible effect in 1884. The Maidens is a pair of lighthouses that is home to the romantic story of the Maiden lovers. Roches Point positioned beyond Cork Harbour on the south coast of Ireland where the tranquil beauty of this lighthouse is deceiving. Baily has guided ships into the port of Dublin for the past 300 years and was the last to be automated ending the era of manned lighthouses in Ireland.

Germany 1, England 5 commemorates the game that elevated coach Sven-Goran Eriksson to his (albeit temporary) status as greatest living man in England, after an unforeseen and unforgettable pummelling of the team England love to hate. September 1, 2001, will linger long in the memory as the day England travelled to Munich for a vital World Cup qualifier against Germany and quickly went one-down in time-honoured tradition. Lest we forget, only a few months previously Germany had soiled the last ever international at Wembley with a victory that sent little Kevin Keegan into a spiral of self-loathing; they boasted a 28-year unbeaten home record; and the hosts had already booked alternative matches on the World Cup play-off dates that this 5-1 result hilariously forced them to change. You'll know the story--a Michael Owen hat-trick, plus superb strikes from Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey, as the Germans look on aghast--but the magic of that late summer evening is worth wallowing in again. The pictures and commentary are from the BBC--Motson and Brooking (with no option to turn them off, unfortunately)--and you get the full 90-minutes, all the relevant replays you could wish for, plus the pre-match build-up and some post-match reaction interviews from the night itself. This is a cherished snapshot of a sporting moment when anything seemed possible for England. On the DVD: Germany 1, England 5 on disc comes with a reasonable selection of extras--though the lack of alternative commentaries cuts down on the repeat-viewing appeal. "Player Cams" are not alternative takes of the match but mini-montages of action featuring Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Heskey and Scholes. "Goal Frenzy" offers extended montages of the goals themselves. "U21 Highlights" are extended highlights of the corresponding U21 qualifier. --Alex Hankin
