  The men who dictated the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. World War II impacted the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, yet it was the decisions of a few powerful leaders that arguably shaped the outcome of the bloodiest war in history. From Hitler, who was responsible for initiating the conflict; to Churchill, the man who took Britain to war as Nazi forces started to take Europe by force; Hitler’s close ally Mussolini; and Roosevelt, who brought America into the war in 1941, we look back at the men whose decisions meant the difference between life and death for millions of innocent civilians. Archive footage that has rarely been seen in the past 70 years, expert analysis and previously unseen footage shape an in-depth portrait of four men who perhaps did more to influence the path World War II took than any other. These are the Wartime Leaders of World War II.

• The Legendary John Lennon - His Amazing Story | DVD | (02/04/2012) from £10.78   |  Saving you £-2.79 (-34.90%)   |  RRP £7.99

  In this programme, using rare footage, we spotlight John Lennon; his life prior to and beyond the disintegration of the Beatles and the quintessential events that helped to shape and define the man and his beliefs. We also examine the role of the people who influenced his life and helped him to combine the immense popularity of his music to platform and publicise the 'Love and Peace' message to a worldwide audience. Lennon has touched a generation with his musical genius and the simple message of 'Love and Peace' that not even a deranged 24 year old with a gun and a desire to be infamous has been able to silence. The impact that Lennon's life, his message and his untimely death has had in the years since his assassination continue to reverberate around the world. But do the dark and tragic events of the recent past and the fears' for mankind's future draw us closer to the simplicity of his message or in this ever complex world are we becoming more distanced? There is also additional footage of John and Yoko's infamous 'Peace and Love Bed-In,' held in a Toronto hotel bedroom just months before the Sweet Toronto concert was performed.

• The Battle for the Bulge | DVD | (30/01/2012) from £21.02   |  Saving you £-8.03 (-61.80%)   |  RRP £12.99

  December 1944 witnessed the last major German offensive of the Second World War. The Battle for the Bulge, as this campaign in the Ardennes forests of Belgium and Luxembourg is now more familiarly known, was the biggest single pitched battle of the Western Front – more than a million troops took part. It was Hitler’s most desperate gamble of the War; he in fact planned every move. It was the climax, too, of the Allied invasion in Western Europe. But it was also a time of American humiliation, for it saw the largest mass surrender of US forces of the whole European War – and a surrender second in size only to that at Bataan in the Pacific in 1942. Because Hitler was banking on a quick victory, which he hoped would split the Allies and provide a respite in the West while he held off the Russian threat from the East, he ordered Germany’s remaining film-stock and surviving cameramen to be lavished on covering the campaign. But when the plan failed, much of their efforts lingered unseen in the library vaults and even unprocessed in laboratory cellars until brought to light for this documentary.

  The Roots of Modern Painting At the dawn of the 14th century Giotto's painting was the expression of a world evolving towards new horizons. A new confidence in mankind the awareness of playing an active role in his own time having a 'moral' and 'material' place in the world - all these features typical of the Italian Renaissance can be traced in his work. Focused on emotions people and lives Giotto's frescos make a decisive break with the abstract and affected mysticism of Byzantine art and depict his own times starting one of the most sensational revolutions in the history of art. In this absorbing programme we trace Giotto's amazing career and life from the shepherd boy plucked from obscurity in Mugello to the great master whose work dominated Italian artistic style and launched the Renaissance movement. We follow in the footsteps of Giotto retracing his journeys throughout Italy and discovering how his distinct innovative Tuscan style changed the face of art in the country. His most spectacular works are captured in breathtaking footage with lingering close-ups allowing us an unrivalled view of the detail and devotion as we assess and explore the most famous masterpieces. Giotto the man may in many ways be an enigma but his works are bold statements rejecting tradition freeing future generations from the bonds of the past.
