  Historian and author, Simon Sebag Montefiore presents a fascinating series on Jerusalem: the place where God meets man, the shrine of three faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and the most fought over city in history. Montefiore explains how Jerusalem - established by King David 3,000 years ago was fought for and shaped by Kings and Emperors and how the holiness of the city was intensified by myths and fables, borrowed and refined between religions. He then explores how this peerlessly beautiful city rose from a crumbling ruin after the crusades to become a world centre of Islamic pilgrimage, the object of rivalry between Christian nations, a holy refuge for Jews from all over the world and, ultimately, the site of one of the world's most intractable conflicts.

• 7-49 Up | DVD | (12/12/2011) from £15.90   |  Saving you £14.09 (88.62%)   |  RRP £29.99

  The original Seven Up was broadcast in 1964 as a one-off World in Action special, featuring children who were selected from different backgrounds and social spheres to talk about their hopes and dreams for the future. As members of the generation who would be running the country by the year 2000, what did they think they would become? Inspired by World In Action founder editor Tim Hewat's passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying: Give me the child until he is seven and I will show you the man, and the rigid class system of 1960s Britain, Seven Up set out to discover whether or not the children's lives were pre-determined by their background.The result is ground-breaking television - the very first example of a programme recording real people living real lives - and the follow-up films have won an array of awards. Director Michael Apted, who has since moved to Hollywood to direct films, has returned every seven years to chart the children's progress through life. Over the past five decades, the series has documented the group as they have become adults and entered middle-age, dealing with everything life has thrown at them in between.

• Pink Floyd - The Making of The Dark Side Of The Moon | DVD | (01/12/2008) from £7.52   |  Saving you £3.47 (46.14%)   |  RRP £10.99

  The most phenomenal recording in rock & roll history is thoroughly examined in Pink Floyd: The Dark Side of the Moon. The Floyd's 1973 masterpiece remained on bestseller charts for nearly 14 years, and its enduring importance is honoured here by all four members of Pink Floyd and key personnel (engineer Alan Parsons, mixing supervisor Chris Thomas, sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson and others) who played essential roles in the landmark album's creation.Produced for the Classic Albums series, this thorough and thought-provoking study highlights a track-by-track dissection of the LP's master tapes (including the spoken-word passages that bookend the album), superbly interlaced with archival footage, early demo tapes, concert animations and latter-day acoustic performances by David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Richard Wright to demonstrate each track's contribution to the final mix--a sonic exploration that extends to the illuminating bonus features. Informative interviews abound (including Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke), and much-deserved credit is given to saxophonist Dick Parry, solo vocalist Clare Torry and former Columbia Records chairman Bhaskar Menon, who fostered the album's US commercial success. For Floyd fans, musicians and studio technicians alike, this is a must-have addition to any DVD library. --Jeff Shannon

• The Falklands War - 25th Anniversary Ltd Edition | DVD | (19/05/2007) from £13.48   |  Saving you £-3.49 (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Disc One: Goose Green 1982 The fight at Goose Green in May 1982 was the most famous battle of the Falklands War which saw British and Argentine troops struggle for control of the Falkland Islands. In the wake of the shock Argentine invasion Britain sent a hastily assembled Task Force to the South Atlantic charged with the job of restoring British sovereignty. The Argentine positions at Goose Green were thought to pose a threat to the British advance across the Islands and troops from the Parachute Regiment were sent to deal with it. After 12 hours of bloody fighting the Argentine position was finally overrun and the British advance on the capital Port Stanley could continue. Moving pictures were beamed back to Britain of the aftermath of the battle bringing home the stark realities of combat - a sobering reminder amid the political rhetoric and jingoism. Disc Two: The Falklands War It is twenty five years since Argentine forces invaded the Falkland Islands. Within three days a British task force had been mobilised and was on its way to the South Atlantic on a mission to restore the islands to British control. Soon harrowing images that demonstrated the terrible realities of war were being beamed back to the United Kingdom. This programme is a powerful record of a war that cost more than a thousand lives. It features remarkable archive footage of the fight for the Falkland Islands atmospheric battle reconstructions and 3D animated graphics that provide a unique perspective on famous battles such as Goose Green Tumbledown Mountain and Wireless Ridge. The Falklands War also features the memories and recollections of British and Argentine servicemen who went to war in the South Atlantic twenty five years ago.

• Doctor Who Am I | Blu Ray | (28/11/2022) from £7.79   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  In 1996, a Doctor Who TV movie starring Paul McGann as the Eighth Doctor, was envisioned to launch the franchise into an exciting new chapter. But whilst the film found success in the UK, attempts to freshen up established lore resulted in a decidedly frosty reception from transatlantic audiences. Now, a quarter of a century later, screenwriter Matthew Jacobs prepares to venture back into the legendary sci-fi universe, to reassess his relationship with the franchise and the American fandom who vilified him. Featuring original cast of the controversial movie, including Paul McGann (The Three Musketeers, Queen of the Damned), Eric Roberts (Inherent Vice, The Dark Knight, The Expendables), and Daphne Ashbrook (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), this funny and emotionally perilous documentary not only revisits a pivotal moment in Doctor Who history, but highlights the unity and creative freedom within the fandom, as Jacobs ultimately, and unexpectedly, finds himself a kindred part of this close-knit, yet vast, family of fans.

  Decision At Dunkirk: In May 1940 the British army in France were facing annihilation at the hand of the powerful German army. Yet with a resounding victory within sight Adolf Hitler went against the advice of his tank commanders and ordered them to halt their assault; enabling the British to make a dramatic escape at Dunkirk. Why did Hitler do this? Did he as some suggest actually want the British to escape? The Phantom Invasion: By June 1944 Hitler was convinced that the Allied invasion of Europe would be launched against Pas De Calais. Hitler therefore ensured that this area was fortified to the maximum putting at risk other areas on the French coast. Even as the Allies began to land at Normandy HItler was so convinced that an attack would come at Pas De Calais that he refused to move any forces to his most vunerable positions. Why was Hitler so convinced that the Allies would target Pas De Calais? Was it because the Allies had a secret plan for a subsequent attack in that area?
