  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.

• Anarchism in America | DVD | (22/05/2006) from £10.65   |  Saving you £4.35 (29.00%)   |  RRP £15.00

  Two fascinating documentaries on one disc. Each tackles the politics and history of American anarchism in a unique engaging and often hilarious manner.For the first Anarchism in America filmmakers Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher took a rambling cross-country trip. Their mission was to search out evidence of anarchist activity in communities from rural Atkins Bay Maine to cosmopolitan San Francisco. A strange cast of characters emerged. Starting with the premise that Americans embody anarchist principles of freedom and independence the filmmakers were not disappointed. Along with archival footage of luminaries like Emma Goldman they introduce us to Mildred Loomis 80-years-old and still advocating back to the land individualism: beat poet Kenneth Rexroth: science fiction author Ursula Le Guin: long-distance trucker Li'l John: punk rockers the Dead Kennedys: and among many others AK Press author Murray Bookehin.The second film The Free Voice of Labor: The Jewish Anarchists traces the history of a Yiddish anarchist newspaper - publishing it's final issue after 87 years. Narrated by anarchist historian Paul Avrich the story is mostly told by the newspaper's now elderly but decidedly unbowed staff. It's the story of one of the largest radical movements among Jewish immigrant workers in the 19th and 20th centuries the conditions that led them to band together their fight to build trade unions their huge differences with the Communists their attitudes towards violence Yiddish culture and their loyalty to one another.Steven Fischler and Joel Sucher since studying with Martin Scorsese in 1969 have been making Emmy and Guggenheim award-winning non-fiction films that explore American social history.

• HM The Queen - A Lifetime of Service | DVD | (26/10/2015) from £4.79   |  Saving you £6.20 (129.44%)   |  RRP £10.99

  Queen Elizabeth II - the sixth queen regnant and 63rd sovereign of Britain. She can trace her ancestry beyond the Hanoverians, Stuarts, Tudors, Plantagenets and Normans, back to the Saxon kings of the Dark Ages. Her long reign has seen astonishing social changes in Britain and the world. Elizabeth's accession heralded a post-war era of golden promise, but the new Elizabethan age did not quite materialise. Britain moved slowly from wartime ration books to the austerity of the early Cold War years. Then the swinging 60's brought prosperity and new liberal attitudes epitomised by the pop music of the times. It was also the decade when the Queen and Prince Philip completed their family. Prince Charles and Princess Anne - born before the accession - were joined by Prince Andrew in 1960 and Prince Edward in 1964. Princess Margaret married in 1960 and had two children, David and Sarah. The Royal Family looked happy and secure - so much so that they agreed to take part in a ground-breaking television documentary in 1969. Throughout the personal turbulence of her reign, the Queen has remained faultless in her public duties at home and abroad. As constitutional monarch, she has advised twelve Prime Ministers, from Churchill to Cameron. As head of state, she has travelled widely at the request of the British government of the day. Around a third of her overseas visits have been to the Commonwealth. She is Queen in sixteen countries as well as being Head of the Commonwealth, a free association of 53 countries. After the storms of the 1990's and the loss of her mother and sister ten years ago, the Queen will end her reign in happier times. Her grandchildren bring a promise of a restored future for the monarchy, celebrated by the events of the Diamond Jubilee.
