  In the early hours of June 6th, 1944 Allied forces began the greatest military assault ever attempted. They came to Normandy by both air and sea with one objective: to get a toehold on the continent and from there, begin the long campaign that would result in the liberation of Europe and the end of the Second World War. The assault was conducted in two phases, an airborne attack by 24,000 paratroopers and glider pilots followed by an amphibious landing across Normandy s sandy beaches. Using personal testimonies, we tell the dramatic stories of the men who took part: the British and American paratroopers and glider infantry, men who crewed tanks, infantry soldiers who were deposited on the Normandy beaches by landing craft and RAF crews who took part in the deception plan that convinced Hitler and his generals that Calais was the main target for the assault. The veterans words are illustrated by dramatic archive and colour footage of key locations. By telling their stories in their own words, we get a snap shot of what it was like to be part of the enormous undertaking.

• Alice: A Look Into The Adventures Of Alice In Wonderland | DVD | (24/05/2010) from £11.44   |  Saving you £-1.45 (-14.50%)   |  RRP £9.99

  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' was published in 1865 and revolutionised children's writing. It made a mockery of much that had preceded it; the cautionary tale where young mischievous children were soundly punished for their misdeeds and school tales that expressed the view that those who obeyed the rules would be celebrated and rewarded. At it's core is a world where cause and effect have little relationship in either the material or moral sphere. Yet within this baffling and unpredictable realm one character emerges who is capable of challenging the chaos and attempting to bestow order on it - Alice. This programme explores the tragic and impossible love affair that underlay the creation of this work of comic and verbal genius. It also investigates the influences that helped form the attitudes of the brilliant Oxford don who gave birth to a unique world whose influence on every form of creative media can hardly be overestimated.
