  The Queen's Coronation: Behind Closed DoorsThe 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 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 innocently the Queen had given a huge helping hand to the medium that would do so much to undermine her family in later years. The Changing Face of the QueenHer face has been on the UK's stamps and money for nearly 60 years and over 20 million people worldwide tune in to her Christmas Day speech every year. Having lived through and indeed been at the heart of some of the most dramatic events of the 20th and 21st century: The Second World War the end of the British Empire the death of Princess Diana Queen Elizabeth II is one of the most iconic women in the world. This film tells the story of an international icon.

  As US-backed South Vietnamese troops began to wane in their struggle against the Communist VietCong forces the American military sought a solution that would turn the initiative back in their favour. The answer was to improve air mobility with the introduction of the US Army helicopter in vast numbers and multiple guises. Amongst others the now legendary Bell UH-1 (affectionately known as the Huey) became a familiar sight in the Vietnamese skies carrying out various roles from escort gunship to air ambulance or 'Medevac' transport. The versatility of these aircraft was recognised as being a major asset one which has been adapted through the decades to the needs of modern warfare.
