For the first time, HM the Queen allows cameras to film at Buckingham Palace as Rolf Harris paints her portrait in honour of her 80th birthday. She talks openly to Rolf about art, animals, her coronation and the weather, as Rolf tries to capture her personality on canvas during two sittings, ten days apart. The film follows Rolf's journey from blank canvas to finished portrait, with all the highs and lows as he struggles to complete the job at his studio.
The extraordinary story of the British prince who became a convicted Nazi. Prince Charles Edward was Queen Victoria's youngest grandchild. Brought up in Claremont House and educated at Eton, he was forced by his grandmother to take up the Dukedom of Coburg in Germany. Transformed overnight from a British Prince to a German Duke, the course of his life was altered in ways he could never have imagined as he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. He refused to fight against the British in WWI, but after the conflict was stripped of his English titles. A year later he lost his German titles as well, when Germany became a Republic. Depressed and disillusioned, he turned to far right politics, which seemed to offer return to order and a new role for him. Charles Edward became an enthusiastic early supporter of the emergent Nazi Party and unwittingly helped in Hitler's rise to power - and his support for Hitler remained undiminished as War approached.
Julius Caesar: the father (100-44 BC)This guyâs the most famous Roman of them all. He conquered Gaul, he became the subject of a play by William Shakespeare and was famously assassinated by Brutus and his gang of conspirators on 15th March 44BC. Despite this legendary status, the debate still rages over his true nature: was he a military genius, the greatest of all Romans, or was he just a brutal tyrant and a gambler, who was done in for being overambitious?

There life is their testimony. This documentary describes the daily life of Amish and interviews people who have been raised Amish but are now living a more "worldly" life. Interesting and well done documentary including some surprises such as the description of Amish communities living in Florida.
