  Paris: Dissected by the romantic River Seine unmistakable landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower Arc de Triomphe and the glass pyramid at the Louvre draw thousands of visitors to Paris each day. Whether you're interested in history cutting-edge fashion cafe culture sightseeing or all of the above 'The City of Light' never ceases to please. Take a tour of Paris without having to leave the comfort of your own home as we look at architecture both modern and classic and enjoy the paradox that is Paris. Dublin: In many of the world's great cities travelling between the various attractions can be time consuming and expensive but a visit to Ireland's fascinating capital Dublin will certainly encourage you to travel on foot. Gracing both banks of the River Liffey even crossing the beautiful bridges is a delightful experience and with classically proportioned Georgian architecture surrounding peaceful elegant greens it would seem that this is one city that has had a painless evolution but look a little more closely and Dublin has a very different story to tell. Rome: They say that all roads lead there and a short break to this most historic of capital cities will demonstrate why Rome is held in such high regard. At the heart of the ancient Roman Empire the city was founded on seven hills close to the banks of the River Tiber and to this day you will find awe-inspiring majestic ruins from this remarkable time of creation including the Colosseum the Pantheon and the Roman Forum. However there is more to see in Rome than ancient ruins as this delightfully filmed DVD will show. Amsterdam: Think of Amsterdam and for most people the images of tulips windmills canals and bicycles will immediately spring to mind. This would be selling the city short as there is a great deal more to see and do than you would first expect. Like so many European cities Amsterdam suffered terribly during World War Two and discovering how the city and its occupants survived is as much a part of the visitor's itinerary today as the more traditional Dutch delights. From the city's darkest days to its finest hour there are permanent memorials and other surprises tucked around each corner. Madrid: The Spanish capital of Madrid is one of the truly great cities of the world. Majestically occupying the Castilian Plain Madrid today is a cosmopolitan metropolis but with Arab influences dating back to Mohammed I in the 9th Century the ancient architecture displays an interesting cultural mix. Whatever brings people to Madrid whether it is the history art galleries nightlife or even the football they will leave having experienced a great deal more than they'd anticipated and one visit will never be enough as Madrid has so much to offer. Vienna: When it comes to culture there are few cities of the world that can compare with the capital of Austria Vienna. It is the city where young Mozart performed for the Hapsburgs and where his operatic masterpieces The Magic Flute and The Marriage Of Figaro were first performed in the 18th Century. Nevertheless there is much more to Vienna than wonderful music and for the visitors who come here there is a great deal to see. From the magnificent palaces and manicured parks to Old Vienna and the Jewish District this city is alive with history wherever you go.

• Married to Maggie - Denis Thatcher's Story | DVD | (29/09/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  Denis Thatcher died in June this year aged 88. Despite his prominence as consort to his wife Margaret he never spoke to the media until he was persuaded by his daughter Carol to give his first last and only TV interview to her shortly before he died. In the interview Denis finally pronounces on the people places and politics of the Thatcher years. The film also contains an interview with Margaret Thatcher who despite an announcement from her office that she would not speak again in public was keen to talk about what Denis had meant to her and the part their marriage played in her premiership. Other interviewees include her former press secretary Bernard Ingham her private secretary Cynthia Crawford Denis's best friend Bill Deedes former editor of the Daily Telegraph and Lord Carrington. Denis never protested much at his image as a gin-swilling golf-playing buffoon. He could hardly deny it. As Margaret Thatcher's press secretary Bernard Ingham recalls he had many terms for his favourite tipple. ""An opener a brightener a lifter a tincture a large gin and tonic without the tonic a snifter a snort a snorter. And a snorterino which more or less empties the bottle in one go."" As for the golf Mrs Thatcher's private secretary Cynthia Crawford says the first thing that came out the back of Denis's car when he arrived at 10 Downing Street in 1979 were his golf clubs. They took pride of place in the front hallway for the duration of her leadership. But Denis learned quickly once in Number 10. One of his greatest strengths as a consort was he always kept stum which given his views on certain subjects certainly helped avoid a number of diplomatic incidents. Denis' silence left a hole all-too-readily filled by satire and supposition. In particular Private Eye published a long series of fictional letters between Denis and his golfing pal ""Bill"" based on Denis's best friend Bill Deedes. Former editor of Private Eye Richard Ingrams admits ""Our Denis was a bit more a buffoon than the real Denis."" Denis always demonstrated immense support and encouragement to his wife particularly at testing times such as general elections or the Falklands War. Of that conflict Bernard Ingham recalls ""you can imagine Denis had a pretty fair idea of what was going on and would be able to read the game a bit and would be able to offer reassurance."" However political correctness was not one of Denis's attributes. Diplomatically silent for so many years in this final interview he has plenty to say on everyone from Nancy Reagan to Raisa Gorbachov from the IRA to the post Thatcher Tory Party and of course...Maggie. This film is a unique study of an unusual and difficult job. Denis Thatcher's friend Bill Deedes believes nobody has done it better. ""He really was created for the role of supporting a Prime minister through the stormy seas of modern politics "" he says.
