  VANISHING VIEWS OF GREAT BRITAIN Today s view isn t just vanishing - it s being obliterated! Leading Architect Ptolemy Dean takes his sketchbook to 5 of Britain s most recognizable landmarks to record the ever changing face of our environment. The Tinsley Towers, in Sheffield known locally as the salt and pepper pots are the first port of call, Brighton s new observation mast, London St Paul s new retail and office complex, Edinburgh s vast development program and Liverpool s new Ferry terminal and museum are also the subject of Ptolemy s sketch book as he looks how these vast plans of development will change the face of these iconic places. ENGLISH HERITAGE: A VERY GRAND DESIGN & ROMANCING THE STONE Everywhere we look history is around us. English Heritage act as the guardians s of the nation s history and are charged with preserving and maintaining over 350,000 historic and listed buildings, ruins and castles. Apethorpe Hall is truly one of England s great country houses. It was begun in the late 15th century and once played host to Queen Elizabeth I, King James I and King Charles I. In total 13 royal visits were recorded between 1565 and 1636. After years of neglect and decay, the Jacobean mansion fell into total disrepair until 2004 when English Heritage stepped in and saved it. Park Hill was the most ambitious inner city housing scheme of its time. Designed by Ivor Smith and Jack Lynn and built between 1957 and 1961, Park Hill dominates the eastern skyline of Sheffield. In 1997, it was listed at Grade II* for its architectural importance, its ground-breaking use of streets in the sky and its impressive scale. By that time, however, it had become run down. Branded a crime-ridden eyesore, it was no longer a desirable place to live. A regeneration project is in hand to transform the estate into a safe and vibrant place to live. English Heritage provided a grant for repair works to the reinforced concrete frames which form the structure of the flats. ENGLISH HERITAGE: THE QUEEN, HER LOVER & HIS CASTLE Kenilworth is one of England s most magnificent castles. Once standing at the heart of a 1,600-ha (4,000-acre) hunting ground, and surrounded by a vast man-made lake, it represented a rich prize to the generations of royal and almost-royal great men who owned and embellished it: among them Geoffrey de Clinton, John of Gaunt, Henry V, and Robert Dudley, earl of Leicester. Even in melancholy decay its influence has been far-reaching, thanks, in part, to Walter Scott s best-selling romance, Kenilworth, which brought the castle new fame. The ruins are best known as the home of Robert Dudley, the great love of Queen Elizabeth I. Dudley created an ornate palace here to impress his Queen in 1575. Follow in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth I in the authentically recreated Elizabethan Garden. Lost to the world for over 400 years, it is now open to visitors once more. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: Each autumn, up to 5000 of the most amazing pieces of British architecture, engineering and heritage are opened up to the public. The main focus of the series is the London Open House architecture event, which offers you the rare opportunity to get inside some very special buildings you would never usually be able to see. From the Bank of England to a top secret Second World War bunker used by Churchill, Gladstone s St Deiniol s library in Wales to the cutting edge life-saving research laboratories at Queen Mary University in London. It s a once in a year opportunity to go Behind Closed Doors.

  THE ROYAL WEDDING IN COLOUR OF HRH PRINCESS ELIZABETH AND LT. PHILLIP MOUNTBATTEN: This amazing film of the Royal Wedding was shot by the late Jack Cardiff, a pioneer cameraman working with the then new Technicolor process in the 1940s. It contains never-before-seen footage in full colour of the processions at Westminster Abbey and afterwards at Buckingham Palace of the wedding of HRH Princess Elizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in the autumn of 1947. This lost film becomes available now due to the fact that a copy was given by Jack Cardiff to his friend Ralph Pulley, who worked at Technicolor after the war. It has remained in the Pulley family ownership ever since and its importance was only realised when a conversation took place between Ralph s daughter and Stanley F Mazur, film producer and owner of Celtic Arrow Media. This film as not been digitally enhanced, the footage and soundtrack are as on the original and it provides a wonderful reminder of the times and people involved in the momentous event. THE QUEENS CORONATION: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: The Coronation in 1953 appeared to be a glittering triumph for the House of Windsor. But behind the scenes there was a story of rivalry at the highest level. In this High Society special we ll discover that Prince Philip was at odds with the Queen Mother and the royal establishment over his desire to modernise the monarchy, and that the old Queen was uncomfortable with her daughter s sudden rise to power. Elizabeth was caught between her husband, who wanted to create a more extrovert, modern image for the monarchy, and the traditionalists in the royal household, who lived in an archaic, unchanging world. This documentary with dramatised excerpts and interviews with leading historians examines how Elizabeth eventually agreed to televise the full coronation ceremony inside Westminster Abbey, against the initial advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the Cabinet. A decision hotly contested by her advisors, it marked a dramatic change in how the monarchy communicated to the public. Unwittingly and innocently, the Queen had given a huge helping hand to the medium that would do so much to undermine her family in later years. AT HOME WITH THE GEORGIANS: Prize-winning author Professor Amanda Vickery sets her sights on the golden age of homemaking the Georgian era. Through dramatic reconstruction she traces the story of the unique relationship Britons enjoy with their homes, arguing that the Georgians preoccupation with décor helped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society. Characters from all walks of life; gentlewomen in their stately mansions, to servants with only a locking box to call their own are bought to life as Amanda reveals the artifacts, letters and diaries of the age where the modern notion of a home was born. THE MANY LOVERS OF JANE AUSTEN Prof. Amanda Vickery returns to mark the 200th anniversary of the publication of Jane Austen s first novel Sense and Sensibility in probably the first film about Jane Austen that begins and ends in Texas, historian Amanda Vickery charts the surprising twists and turns that transformed a minor Regency writer into a global literary brand. On a journey from rural Hampshire, to the family home of Princess Di, from the trenches of the First World War to the lake where Colin Firth emerged in a wet shirt and on to a huge Jane Austen convention in Fort Worth, Vickery encounters Austen s audience over the last 200 years. In each era she discovers how differently Austen has been read by every generation and, with a generous helping of costumes and clips from the great vault of Austen adaptations, she examines why Austen has more lovers today than ever before.
