Of all the Kings of England none captured the public imagination quite like Richard I the Lionheart. To his subjects Richard was tall handsome and athletic a true hero a fitting monarch and for more modern enthusiasts the legendary protector of the much loved outlaw Robin Hood and his band of merry men.Where Richard the Lionheart's concerned it has however been a case of the truth never being allowed to get in the way of a good story because this is an incredible tale of a Plantagenet King who was not necessarily quite what history would have us believe.Of the ten years Richard was on the throne he literally spent only seven months in England and he cost the nation an absolute fortune firstly to fight the Crusades in the Holy Land and secondly for payment of a King's Ransom when he was captured.'Richard the Lionheart' is a programme designed to take you on a journey of discovery to follow in the footsteps of this powerful Royal Crusader Knight who convinced the world past present and probably future that he truly was the best King of England that money could buy.

The peerless pageantry and flawless performance of Britain's Household Cavalry requires both horses and riders to demonstrate extreme commitment and skill; for a photographer to capture the kaleidoscope of colour sound movement and spirit requires similar levels of proficiency. Henry Dallal as his new DVD shows has those abilities. Henry Dallal's inexorable commitment to the photographic documentation of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment and Household Division troops has created a noble artistic presentation that weaves his camera into the fabric of the Regiment itself. The result is a fascinating DVD documenting the creative process; featuring interviews with military historian professor Richard Holmes Lieutenant General Simon Mayall Deputy Chief of Defence Staff (Operations) and Major-General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter KCVO OBE; who commanded the Household Division. Extending beyond the usual picture postcard photo treatment of the Household Cavalry award winning photographer Henry Dallal brings to bear his remarkable affinity with equine pageantry from an inside view of the Regiment leading up to official portraits of Her Majesty The Queen. Originally projected as a son et lumiere spectacle inside the walls of Windsor Castle this DVD provides an intimate portrait of British Pageantry and Performance.

Stealth or LO (Low Observables) governs the design of all today's combat aircraft. Any aeroplane or helicopter that enters hostile airspace has to do its best to be undetectable. This means it must try to be invisible to radar, invisible to the eye, invisible to infrared or heat sensors and silent. This programme traces the attempts made by aircraft designers since World War II to try to achieve invisibility.The first such stealth warplane, the USAF's amazing Lockheed F-117A, was used in action during Operation Just Cause in Panama 1989. Close behind it came the Northrop B-2 which was designed, made and flown by computers.In 1991 the USAF chose between the Northrop/McDonnell Douglas YF-23 and the Lockheed/GD/Boeing YF-22 as its future Advanced Tactical Fighter and this programme examines the prototypes of these supersonic aircraft.This fascinating footage is accompanied by a detailed script by aviation expert Bill Gunston.The Stealth Story Book: This is the amazing story of Lockheed's stealth fighter. With its origins in the SR-71 Blackbird, XST and Have Blue, the F-117 was developed, flown and tested in absolute secrecy before it entered service with the US Air Force. This illustrated hardback book features the aircraft's development, dramatic combat record over Iraq and squadron service at Tonopah and Holloman, in addition to facts, figures and pilot's comments about this once top secret aircraft.
