    EGYPT MANIA DVD: The Egyptian Museum in Cairo was officially inaugurated on 15th November 1902. As this programme explores its rooms, a long history of splendour and mystery comes back to life before our eyes. This is a place where man s great discoveries become legend, like the deeds and monuments of the great pharaohs of antiquity. The Egyptian civilisation began to develop in about 4000 BC. This was an era that started in the very dawn of history. The pharaohs were simply local princes and Egypt had not yet been unified. For 3300 years, a boy-king fulfilled the dream of every pharaoh: resting in peace amidst marvels unknown to mortals. For three generations, his treasure has inspired the world. This is the treasure of Tutankhamen. It is just one of the countless marvels conserved in the most majestic temple of Egyptian art: The Egyptian Museum in Cairo. This programme takes you on a tour of the statues, manuscripts, paintings, and other treasures held in the museum. LITTLE BOOK OF ANCIENT EGYPT: In the summer of 1972, TV news featured huge crowds queuing patiently on the pavements outside the British Museum to see the Tutankhamun Exhibition. So great was the clamour to see the exhibition that it had to be extended from the planned six months to nine months to accommodate total visitors of almost 1.7 million. But the world s interest in Ancient Egypt long pre-dates the discovery of Tutankhamun s tomb. Egypt s hot, dry climate has preserved almost perfectly the evidence of an ancient civilisation: the pyramids, massive stone statues and tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Most Egyptologists agree that simple antiquity is a major part of Ancient Egypt s appeal. There is a mysterious nature to anything that is thousands of years old and mystery intrigues us all. In this very accessible introduction, we ll explore those mysteries, providing details of the ancient civilisation s temples, tombs, kings and culture. And we won t forget the myths and mysteries surrounding the death of the boy king Tutankhamun, dead at the age of just 19. Did he inherit a genetic condition from his father, Akhenaten, did he die of malaria or, most intriguing of all, was he murdered?

    Story Of Tractors - David Brown Tractors This fascinating series gives you a rare chance to see a wide range of tractors of all ages from the earliest machines of the 1920s to present day hard at work throughout the farming year. Find out about each machine and its place in agricultural history. The first programme features the story of David Brown Tractors - a key name in British Tractor history - from their early beginnings through to the 1960s. We then pick up the David Brown story in the 1970's in the second instalment when the use of these well-loved tractors expanded from working on the farm to the production of industrial models for use on the highways. We look at a number of models hard at work in a variety of situations. In the final instalment of the David Brown story we come up to date with numerous purchasers including CASE IH and the subsequent development and production of new machines. Little Book Of Tractors (128 Pages)Little Book of Tractors is a celebration of the pioneers and innovators whose names have become synonymous with tractors - Henry Ford and his 'Fordson' Harry Ferguson and the 'Little Grey Fergie' John Deere Farmall and David Brown to name just a few. This colourful book charts the history of these companies and their incredibly inventive machines as well as showing how takeovers and mergers have resulted in the loss of the majority of these historic names. Little Book of Tractors also takes a look at unusual tractor designs and specialist tractors tractor trials farming implements and what future challenges face manufacturers as they work to make their tractors more cost efficient and less polluting than ever before. But most of all this affectionate tribute shows how tractors have not only been indispensable to farmers but become part of the fabric of country life dearly loved by the people.

    HISTORY OF THE GWR DVD: This superb programme looks at the GWR God s Wonderful Railway as it was in the 1950s and 1960s and more recently. Archive scenes capture the true essence of the GWR with its Brunellian stations and station platforms, engines, lines, freight yards and engine sheds. We can enjoy magnificent engines including some of the Castle and King Class that were turned out at Swindon. These include the 4079 Pendennis Castle, 5029 Nunney Castle, 7020 Gloucester Castle, 6000 King George V, 6024 King Edward I and others that have since ended up at the cutters. We also see engines that have been used on these lines of late including the Eurostar, Intercity 125s, the high speed trains on the Heathrow Express Service, ARC stone trains as well as single, twoand three-car units. And our look at the GWR wouldn t be complete without a visit to preserved lines including the Taff Valley Railway and the Cholsey and Wallingford Railway. HISTORY OF THE GWR LITTLE BOOK: To paraphrase the old army adage, there were three ways of doing things: the right way, the wrong way and the Great Western Way. Right from its start in the 1830s the Great Western quickly established its own distinctive and idiosyncratic way of life. Not least with the bold decision to adopt a track gauge of 7 0¼ when every other railway at the time was happy to standardise at 4 8½ . But, as this History of the Great Western will show, the railway with its excellently designed and engineered locomotives is just our starting point. The GWR had extensive shipping interests, ran buses and lorries and even had its own air service. It ran docks, restaurants and hotels and in the restaurant cars you could read the Great Western magazine, drink Great Western whisky and eat Great Western biscuits with your cheese. With this total embrace and a consciously different approach from other lines it s no surprise that passengers and employees thought the GWR superior to what they regarded as the other lesser railway companies. In some ways perhaps it was but there s certainly no doubt the GWR has had a long held appeal, and not just for dedicated railway enthusiasts. In this book as well as addressing historical details and technical facts we ll try to discover just what it was.

    In the early hours of June 6th 1944 Allied forces began the greatest military assault ever attempted. They came to Normandy by both air and sea with one objective: to get a toehold on the continent and from there begin the long campaign that would result in the liberation of Europe and the end of the Second World War. The assault was conducted in two phases an airborne attack by 24 000 paratroopers and glider pilots followed by an amphibious landing across Normandy's sandy beaches. Using personal testimonies we tell the dramatic stories of the men who took part: the British and American paratroopers and glider infantry men who crewed tanks infantry soldiers who were deposited on the Normandy beaches by landing craft and RAF crews who took part in the deception plan that convinced Hitler and his generals that Calais was the main target for the assault. The veterans' words are illustrated by dramatic archive and colour footage of key locations. By telling their stories in their own words we get a snap shot of what it was like to be part of the enormous undertaking.

    THE INVINCIBLES DVD: 1974 British and Irish Lions Tour of South African In 1974 the South African apartheid regime was under worldwide condemnation; in defiance of a developing international policy to isolate South Africa, the British and Irish Lions rugby team controversially accepted the invitation to tour the country and play a test series against their ancient rivals. The series was one of the most violent in Lions history; yet those 22 matches produced remarkable rugby and many memorable tries. The Lions enjoyed unparalleled success and they went unbeaten, going down in rugby legend as The Invincibles . This film, which includes unique personal footage from the players, is both a thrilling celebration of a remarkable rugby team and a poignant reminder of the scale of change in South Africa since that landmark tour. Interviews include personal insights from the following: Willie-John McBride, Gareth Edwards, JJ Williams, JPR Williams, Fran Cotton, Roger Uttley, Fergus Slattery, Makhenkesi Stofile (Minister of Sport RSA) and Peter Hain MP. GREATEST MOMENTS OF RUGBY LITTLE BOOK: Few people can dispute that rugby is the most passionate sport in the world and there can be no more dramatic spectacle than 30 players giving their all in a brutal encounter. The combination of skill and courage makes lions out of limbs and the social side of rugby leads to many friendly arguments as to who were the best players and what were the best matches. This book gives ample food for thought by highlighting such memorable moments as Jonny Wilkinson kicking England to World Cup glory, Gareth Edwards scoring the greatest ever try for the Ba Bas, and Jonah Lomu walking through England s defence on his way to another try. More recently, the great games haven t come much better than the British & Irish Lions sensational victory in the third test against the Wallabies to seal the series in 2013 which made a world superstar out of Leigh Halfpenny. The debates will continue to rage and if nothing else, this book will give you

Evidence is documented to support the theory that the Titanic and her sister ship, the Olympic were swapped and the weakened Olympic tragically sank. Review evidence and reports of the day that show the Titanic was never ready for sea by the time of her maiden voyage. Analyse the motives of the unscrupulous owners of the famed White Star Line to see if they swapped the twin ships which were built side by side. Titanic - The Shocking Truth documents the British and American inquiries, eyewitness reports of survivors, newspapers, photographs, film and radio of the day. Little Book OF TITANIC - RMS Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world when she set off on her maiden voyage from Southampton on 10 April 1912. Four days into the trip she struck an iceberg and sank, resulting in the deaths of 1,517 people in one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. The world s most famous passenger liner set sail for New York with 2,223 people on board; the high casualty rate was due partly to the fact that she carried lifeboats for only 1,178 people. Titanic was designed by some of the world s most experienced engineers and used some of the most advanced technologies available. It was a great shock to many that her maiden voyage ended in such tragedy.

    A fascinating look at the challenging role of a steam train driver! ENGINE DRIVER S MANUAL DVD: For many, driving a steam engine remains an impossible dream. Others may try a Driver s Experience day offered by many of the preserved lines. But, as this programme shows, anyone can become an engine driver. The key ingredients are commitment and enthusiasm. Most preserved lines rely on an army of volunteers and so becoming an engine driver means helping out in a variety of roles before you can take control of a steam locomotive pulling coaches full of passengers. In this programme, Nick Coram at Swanage Steam Railway takes us through the process as well as showing us some of the tasks involved. As well as showing life on the footplate at Swanage, we also feature scenes from the small locos that gently run up and down the line as part of the Talyllyn Steam Railway. By way of a contrast, the programme also features footplate scenes shot on the mighty Sir Nigel Gresley , an A4 Class loco and sister to Mallard that holds the world Speed Record for a steam locomotive. Filmed in HD on location at the wonderful Preserved Line in Swanage Filmed using the mighty Sir Nigel Gresley No. 60007 Showing you how to use the dials, brakes, firebox and more!

In this comprehensive practical manual, former BR steam engineman Brian Topping conducts us along the traditional learning path from cleaner to fireman to driver, reminding us that for all the glamour of the footplate, there is also a great deal of dirty and strenuous work involved. Packed with wonderful photographs, illustrations and diagrams this little book covers such matters as maintenance, lubrication, different braking systems and valve gears, efficient firing, footplate controls, basic railway signalling, and much more. Whether you are an established driver wishing to brush up on your locomotive knowledge, an armchair enthusiast, or a would-be preservation volunteer, this is the indispensable aid to safe and successful steam locomotive driving and management.
