• 7-49 Up | DVD | (16/02/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £49.99

  The original Seven Up was broadcast in 1964 as a one-off World in Action special featuring children who were selected from different backgrounds and social spheres to talk about their hopes and dreams for the future. As members of the generation who would be running the country by the year 2000 what did they think they would become? Inspired by World In Action founder editor Tim Hewat's passionate interest in both the Jesuit saying: Give me the child until he is seven and I will show you the man and the rigid class system of 1960s Britain Seven Up set out to discover whether or not the children's lives were pre-determined by their background. The result is ground-breaking television - the very first example of a programme recording real people living real lives - and the follow-up films have won an array of awards. Director Michael Apted who has since moved to Hollywood to direct films has returned every seven years to chart the children's progress through life. Over the past five decades the series has documented the group as they have become adults and entered middle-age dealing with everything life has thrown at them in between. This groundbreaking DVD release has been made with the co-operation of the Up production team and features an in-depth interview with Michael Apted on his time at Granada as well as commentaries with producer Claire Lewis film editor Kim Horton and cameraman George Jesse Turner.

• Charles Dickens' London Life | DVD | (26/03/2012) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £9.99

  If only one writer had to be picked to represent the 19th Century, it would have to be Dickens. Much of the reason for this would have to do with his fascination with its figures across the social spectrum, his indignation at its hypocrisy and exploitation, and his compassion towards the humble and the deprived of his time, all of which he transmits to his readers. The depth of his commitment and understanding came from his personal experiences.Together with our host, Dr. Tony Williams, we visit the locations that went to form the imagination of Dickens, the sites of the prisons and the workplaces of the poor, the Inns of Court and the Houses of Parliament, the theatres and the auditoria where he gave his hugely successful readings, the museums and the churches... all the key sites pertaining to this literary genius are woven together to create an unforgettable portrait of Dickens' life and the Victorian metropolis that harboured him.
