  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!

  Kill Hitler: Throughout Hitler's reign there was one group of men who remained immune to his infamous charms. Ironically these were the same men most necessary for Hitler's dreams of conquest. They were the High Command of the German army and repeatedly during the war there were plans to capture and later kill the Fuhrer. Despite years of conspiracy and meticulous planning this most secret aim of Germany's Generals was not to come to fruition. Why was Hitler never able to control the unswerving loyalty of his own military staff? Why despite all their best efforts were these Generals continually thwarted in their attempts to kill Hitler? Hitler's Secret Weapons: During WWII German scientists invented a range of remarkable weapons the most awe inspiring of which was undoubtedly the long range rocket known as the V-2. Accorded by the highest priority by Hitler the V-2 was never the less an expensive white elephant. Why did the Germans spend so much money and effort developing a space age weapon only to arm it with less than a ton of conventional explosives? Did Hitler have plans to arm the rocket with a more expensive and deadly warhead?
