Monarchy With David Starkey(2006) This DVD analysis a 1000 years of British monarchy from William the Conqueror to Charles II. Now this is some of the worlds most interesting history and you simply can’t do all of it justice, in a few DVDs. Instead of attempting to ‘do it all’ the director focuses on the forces, at the time, that shaped the rulers and their decisions. |

The Wives of Henry VIII (2001) This is a highly rated and accurate documentary about Henry the 8th, his problems producing a male heir and his rather novel solution. A must buy for fans of Henry VIII and this period. |

London (2008) A very recent DVD about the capital city. London is both an ancient and ever changing city, this documentary does both ancient and contemporary London justice. The DVD is filled with great shots of the city’s landmarks and nightlife. |
