Description
VICTORIAN BRITAIN A fascinating look at the way the country was under the rule of Queen Victoria, the longest-ever serving monarch, who rued the country from 1837-1901. Her reign is associated with Britain's great age of industrial expansion, economic progress and- especially-empire. At her death, it was said, Britain had a worldwide empire on which the sun never set. MUSIC HALL DAYS Presented by Lionel Blair, the programme looks back at all the great performers from the Music Halls and beyond, including the 'songs that won the war' from Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields and others. We have uncovered an amazing collection of footage of all the greats, much of it never seen before on DVD. Artists of the calibre of Vera Lynn, Gracie Fields, Arthur Askey, Danny Kaye, Tommy Handley, Tommy Trinder, Mistinguett, Bob Hope and Flanagan and Allen all appear in this sensational programme. THOSE WERE THE DAYS-BRITAIN IN THE 40'S Those were the Days-Britain in the 40's tells the story of this turbulent decade and the remarkable fortitude of the British people during and after the war through the eyes of the newsreel cameras. From the horror and destruction of The Blitz in 1941. THOSE WERE THE DAYS-BRITAIN IN THE 50'S Through the eyes of the newsreel cameras and advertising of the time, we present an affectionate look at the way we were in the 1950's, the way we dressed, the way we laughed (and cried)-even he way we holidayed. The programme also focuses on the events that shook the world during the decade. THOSE WERE THE DAYS-BRITAIN IN THE 60'S Those Were The Days-Britain in The 1960's tells the story of a decade of massive change in Britain. From Beatlemania to the violent anti-war protests in Grosvenor Square, the major news stories of the period are placed in their social context by the use of rarely seen material that shows the way we lived and the way we were 40 years ago.
