Denzel Washington adopts a British accent for the grim if compelling, 1989 social drama, For Queen and Country. Akin in mood and story to several American films (notably Rolling Thunder) about Vietnam veterans who return home to face indifference or hostility, For Queen and Country stars Washington as paratrooper Reuben James, a decorated veteran of the Falklands war and Britain's occupation of Northern Ireland. Returning to civilian life in the early '80s, Reuben discovers Thatcher's England (specifically London's East End) to be an intensely racist, violent ground for class warfare, crime, and drugs. Unable to find work, hassled by white cops, pressured by old mates to run afoul of the law, and rejected by a woman (Amanda Redman) who sees him as another product of a cruel and bloody era, Reuben's hope diminishes despite efforts to do the right thing. The downbeat, predictable drama is elevated by Washington's charismatic performance. --Tom Keogh

Whether in reference to his famous ship or in memory of his many triumphs Horatio Nelson lived a charmed existence upon the waves. His life on dry land however was to prove less 'victorious' and far more controversial as his personal dealings became something of a scandal. A married man yet openly flaunting his affair with Lady Emma Hamilton wife of Lord Hamilton Nelson caused outrage in both London society and within the higher echelons of the navy. Narrated by Graham McTavish.

In 1944 Hitler ordered the full-scale production of what he deemed ""vengeance weapons"" a new breed of aircraft designed to change German's declining military fortunes. The skies over Europe would soon be witness to the introduction of the jet fighter. The potentially devastating ME 262 and Arado 234 were undoubted breakthroughs in aviation technology yet underdevelopment lack of materials and desperation meant they would have no effect on the outcome of World War Two. Jet fighters such as the ME 163 ""Komet"" and the disastrous Heinkel HE 162 ""Salamander"" would prove more dangerous to their pilots and ground staff than to the enemy.
