| CAMBRIDGE & CATHEDRALS DVD (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |

Two great British institutions, education and the Church, and their links with the monarchy are examined with a visit to Cambridge University and the ecclesiastical centres of Bury St Edmonds and St Paul's. It was at Cambridge that the monarchy evolved from warrior kings to the modern model, and it was through its links with the clerical that the Crown reserved its unique position as head of both state and Church.

| WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE WINDSORS? DVD (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |
|
On 10 December 1936, Edward VIII, King of England, gave it all up - ostensibly for the love of a woman. No man has ever sacrificed so much to enable himself to marry, but the monarch gave up Crown and Country for Wallis Simpson.
Practically everyone knows the great love story of how the two met, became lovers and married. But what is less well known is what happened next, the enormous fall-out his actions caused, the tremendous shock it was to the rest of the royal family and what it meant for the Duchess of York and her husband as he became King George VI.
This absorbing programme follows the travels and the strange twists in a stylish and emotional glimpse into a life spent in exile. It is a living tragedy played out at the highest level. Running time: 100 minutes approx. |

| WINDSOR CASTLE AFTER THE FIRE DVD (PAL FORMAT, NOT FOR NORTH AMERICA) |
|
Windsor Castle is a wonderful example of the power and tradition of the royal family. For nearly 1,000 years it has stood as a symbol of the monarchy's strength, it is the largest working castle in the world and is still a royal home. But on one fateful day all that was threatened.
On the morning of 20 November 1992, fire broke out in the castle. It nearly destroyed a building that centuries of warfare and change had not even dented.
The blaze raced through state apartments, the private chapel, St George's Hall, bedrooms and corridors, wiping out almost everything in its path.
This is the story of that fire, as told by those who witnessed it and by those for whom Windsor Castle is a home. But it is also the story of the astonishing effort that was made to restore the castle to its former glory and prove that there was life for Windsor Castle after the fire. Running time: 55 minutes approx. |
