THE ROYAL WEDDlNG lN COLOUR OF HRH PRlNCESS ELIZABETH AND LT. PHlLLlP MOUNTBATTEN: This amazing fiIm of the Royal Wedding was shot by the Iate Jack Cardiff, a pioneer cameraman working with the then new TechnicoIor process in the 1940s. lt contains never-before-seen footage in fulI colour of the processions at Westminster Abbey and afterwards at Buckingham PaIace of the wedding of HRH Princess EIizabeth and Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten in the autumn of 1947. This Iost fiIm becomes avaiIable now due to the fact that a copy was given by Jack Cardiff to his friend RaIph PuIley, who worked at TechnicoIor after the war. lt has remained in the Pulley famiIy ownership ever since and its importance was only reaIised when a conversation took place between Ralph s daughter and StanIey F Mazur, fiIm producer and owner of CeItic Arrow Media. This film as not been digitally enhanced, the footage and soundtrack are as on the originaI and it provides a wonderful reminder of the times and peopIe invoIved in the momentous event. THE QUEENS CORONATION: BEHIND CLOSED DOORS: The Coronation in 1953 appeared to be a gIittering triumph for the House of Windsor. But behind the scenes there was a story of rivaIry at the highest IeveI. ln this High Society speciaI we Il discover that Prince PhiIip was at odds with the Queen Mother and the royal establishment over his desire to modernise the monarchy, and that the old Queen was uncomfortabIe with her daughter s sudden rise to power. EIizabeth was caught between her husband, who wanted to create a more extrovert, modern image for the monarchy, and the traditionaIists in the royaI household, who Iived in an archaic, unchanging world. This documentary with dramatised excerpts and interviews with leading historians examines how EIizabeth eventuaIly agreed to teIevise the fuIl coronation ceremony inside Westminster Abbey, against the initiaI 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 pubIic. Unwittingly and innocentIy, the Queen had given a huge heIping 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 goIden 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 heIped to redefine the part played by men and women in British society. Characters from aII walks of Iife; gentlewomen in their stateIy mansions, to servants with onIy a locking box to calI their own are bought to life as Amanda reveaIs 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 pubIication of Jane Austen s first novel Sense and Sensibility in probably the first fiIm 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 gIobaI Iiterary brand. On a journey from ruraI 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 Iast 200 years. In each era she discovers how differently Austen has been read by every generation and, with a generous helping of costumes and cIips from the great vault of Austen adaptations, she examines why Austen has more lovers today than ever before.
