Oh... Rosalinda!!

British film legends Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger revisit the world of music once more in their comedy adaptation of Johan Strauss's Die Fledermaus, updated to post-war Vienna. A scintillating, light-hearted musical, it features memorable performances from Michael Redgrave, Mel Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, Anton Walbrook and prima ballerina Ludmilla Tcherina as the titular Rosalinda. The film is presented here as a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its original CinemaScope aspect ratio. Vienna, 1955 - a city under occupation by the four Allied powers. Through the chaos Dr Falke moves gracefully - an elegant man-about-town and friend to the highest echelons of power. He is decidedly less graceful, however, when he is deposited by a friend in the lap of a giant Soviet statue, rather the worse for drink and dressed as a giant bat. Falke swears revenge...

World War 1 in Colour

Gedurende vele decennia werd de Eerste Wereldoorlog altijd gezien als een oorlog die zich in zwart-wit afspeelde, maar dat was niet de werkelijkheid. Het was de eerste oorlog waarin het gevechtsvliegtuig werd ontwikkeld, gifgas werd ingevoerd, de tank en de vlammenwerper werden uitgevonden en machinegeweren en zware artillerie op grote schaal werden gebruikt, waardoor een dergelijke massavernietiging ontstond.Met behulp van zeldzame archiefbeelden uit de hele wereld, waaronder het Britse Imperial War Museum, werd deze serie uit 2003 nauwgezet ingekleurd met behulp van de toen allernieuwste computer-ondersteunde technologie om de eerste wereldoorlog in kleur te brengen, zoals die werd ervaren door degenen die erin vochten en hem doorstonden.Deze historische serie, verteld door Kenneth Branagh, biedt een unieke kijk op de gebeurtenissen van 1914-1918, toen 65 miljoen mensen de wapens tegen elkaar opnamen en de wereld in chaos veranderde. De definitieve gids van de Eerste Wereldoorlog zoals nooit eerder gezien.SPECIALE KENMERKEN:50 minuten durende CGI special Tactiek & Strategie15 minuten interviews met het productieteamBiografieën

Happy Ever After

Cinema icon David Niven is on top form as the improbably named Jasper O'Leary in this uproarious culture clash comedy from director Mario Zampi. Also featured are Hollywood star Yvonne De Carlo, professional Irishman Barry Fitzgerald and George Cole as a gormless yokel. Filmed in the 1.37:1 aspect ratio, Happy Ever After was framed for 1.66:1 for those few theatres at the time of release that could exhibit widescreen features. Both versions are included here, the widescreen version being a brand-new remaster from original film elements. When General O'Leary goes to meet his maker after an unfortunate hunting mishap, his Irish estate is bequeathed to a distant relative, Jasper. Jasper's new-broom tactics soon annoy the locals, however, and it's not too long before they decide he has to be removed ... SPECIAL FEATURE: Image gallery

David Nixon's Christmas Magic

Over a thirty year career in television, David Nixon's subtle blend of magic, music and comedy was loved by millions and is fondly remembered to this day. In his heyday during the 1970s, Nixon was hardly ever offscreen and David Nixon's Magic Box and The David Nixon Show were firm favourites with the viewing public. For Nixon, though, Christmas had its own special magic as can be seen in these two classic festive specials from the mid-'70s, whose guests include the lovely Aimi MacDonald, famed illusionist Robert Harbin, pop chanteuse Lynsey de Paul, vaudevillian comic George Carl, international singing star Caterina Valente and ventriloquist Shari Lewis with her feisty sock puppet, Lamb Chop!

The Rebel

Sitcom-legende Tony Hancock maakt zijn speelfilmdebuut in deze slimme komedie van de oude samenwerkers Ray Galton en Alan Simpson. The Rebel is een geestige satire die het verwijfde pseudo-intellectualisme, de pretenties van de middenklasse en de kunstzinnigheid van de bohemiens krachtig belachelijk maakt. De film wordt hier gepresenteerd als een gloednieuwe restauratie van het originele cameranegatief in de originele beeldverhouding van de bioscoopfilm.Anthony Hancock is een autodidact met een enthousiasme dat elke bekwaamheid ver overstijgt. Hij geeft zijn monotone kantoorbaan op om zijn droom te leven. Zijn genialiteit wordt niet gewaardeerd door de plaatselijke boerenbevolking en hij besluit dat er maar één plaats is waar zijn talenten tot bloei kunnen komen: bij de beatniks en bohémiens van Parijs!

The Goodies: The Complete Collection

In 1970, the Goodies unleashed their legendary blend of surreal storylines, strikingly topical satire, slapstick and general lunacy on an unsuspecting viewing public. Capturing the irreverent and rebellious flavour of the decade, this phenomenally popular, award-winning series spread its mischief over twelve years – making household names of creators, writers and performers Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor. This set contains all the episodes that the terrific trio made for television – from a giant white fluffy kitten called Twinkle to a slippery climb up a giant beanstalk, from the ancient Lancastrian art of Ecky Thump to fighting a ban on fun instigated by an all-too-real puppet government, this is television comedy at its undeniable best!

Never the Twain

Met Donald Sinden en Windsor Davies in de hoofdrollen als twee norse antiquairs, werd Never the Twain al snel een van de populairste komedies van Thames Television. Deze klassieke komedie werd gemaakt door sitcomlegende Johnnie Mortimer, die samen met Brian Cooke de series Father Dear Father, Man About the House en George and Mildred creëerde en gedurende tien jaar een constante favoriet was bij de kijkers. Met gastoptredens van Honor Blackman, Gabrielle Drake, Barbara Murray, Prunella Scales en Christopher Ellison, bevat deze set alle elf series en de kerstspecial uit 1989.Simon Peel en Oliver Smallbridge zijn niet de gemakkelijkste buren. Simon is een bloeddorstige Oxbridge snob, terwijl Oliver een voormalige barrowboy is met een chip op zijn schouder. Het enige wat ze gemeen hebben is de bereidheid zich tot het uiterste in te spannen om de ander neer te halen. Maar wanneer Simons zoon en Olivers dochter meer dan alleen maar interesse in elkaar beginnen te tonen, verandert wat eerst een wederzijdse koude oorlog was, al snel in iets veel heters!

The Adventures of Robin Hood, voor het eerst vertoond in 1955, heeft 143 afleveringen gedraaid en het wereldwijde succes ervan gaf aanleiding tot een hele reeks van zwaardvechtende helden, waaronder Sir Lancelot, William Tell en The Buccaneers.Deze serie, die meer dan 50 jaar later nog steeds over de hele wereld wordt uitgezonden en hoog wordt gewaardeerd, heeft meer dan welke andere serie ook de toon en stijl van de halfuur durende avonturenreeks bepaald en heeft alle series beïnvloed die daarna kwamen. Deze set bevat de complete reeks van 143 afleveringen, verdeeld over 18 discs.

7-63 Up

In het oorspronkelijke programma 7 Up, dat in 1964 als World in Action-special werd uitgezonden, deelden kinderen uit zeer verschillende sociale milieus hun hoop en dromen voor de toekomst. Geïnspireerd door World in Action oprichter redacteur Tim Hewat's gepassioneerde interesse in zowel de Jezuïeten zeggen: Geef me het kind tot het zeven jaar is en ik zal je de man tonen en zijn woede over het starre Britse klassensysteem, ging deze unieke, baanbrekende serie op zoek naar de mate waarin het leven van de kinderen werd bepaald door hun achtergrond.Regisseur Michael Apted is elke zeven jaar teruggekeerd om de voortgang van de groep in kaart te brengen, en documenteert de deelnemers als ze volwassen zijn geworden en nu de pensioengerechtigde leeftijd bereiken, en omgaan met alles wat het leven hen tussendoor heeft toegeworpen met levensveranderende beslissingen, schokkende aankondigingen en vreugde en tranen in gelijke mate.De Ups, het allereerste voorbeeld van een programma waarin echte mensen worden opgenomen die echte levens leiden, hebben in de loop der jaren een hele reeks prijzen gewonnen. Deze zeer speciale set bevat alle afleveringen in deze baanbrekende serie van 7 tot en met 63.

Dad's Army: The Lost Episodes

Britain's favourite sitcom, Dad's Army ran for eighty episodes over nearly ten years and is rarely far from our screens - but three of those episodes were lost many years ago and haven't been seen since 1969.
