This DVD traces the history of this famous series of fighting ships. Rare film shows the second Ark Royal in action in the First World War with the first Short seaplanes being lowered into the sea for take-off.

Archive footage shows these aircraft in action. The commissioning of the fourth carrier saw the introduction of the jet aircraft. Here we see thrilling shots of Sea Hawks, Scimitars, Sea Vixens, Buccaneers and eventually the Phantom.

Jed sells his land for $25 million whereupon his town sophisticate cousin Pearl convinces him the wealthy Los Angeles suburb of Beverly Hills might provide a suitable beau for his daughter Elly May and career opportunities for his wayward nephew Jethro Bodine.

• War and Peace (Jang aur Aman) | DVD | (27/07/2015) from £13.83   |  Saving you £0.42 (3.34%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Filmed over four tumultuous years in India Pakistan Japan and the USA following nuclear tests in the Indian sub-continent and framed by the murder of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948 an act whose portent and poignancy remains undiminished half a century later War and Peace is a documentary journey of peace activism in the face of global militarism and war. The film examines the sub-continent s trajectory towards unabashed militarism and the costs being extracted from citizens in the name of national security. From the plight of residents living near the nuclear test site to the horrendous effects of uranium mining on local indigenous populations it becomes abundantly clear that contrary to a myth first created by the United States there is no such thing as the 'peaceful Atom'. Patwrdhan's documentary has become more potent and relevant than ever as we enter a 21st century where war has become perennial enemies are re-invented and economies inextricably tied to the production and sale of weapons. In the moral wastelands of the world memories of Gandhi seem like a mirage that never was created by a suposed 'thirst for peace' and our leaders very distance from it.
