Port Of London Authority Films - Waters Of Time

In it's heyday London was Britain's premier port. The Port of London Authority controlled 94 miles of the tidal Thames from Teddington to the Estuary, presiding over the great dock systems. The four films featured on this DVD capture the port of London in all its glory from the 1920s to the 1960s. Waters Of Time - Made for the Festival of Britain in 1951 by one of Britain's greatest documentary makers, Basil Wright, this film is a celebration of the commercial heritage of the Thames. It features some fine aerial footage of the port of London and looks behind-the-scenes at the activities on the docks. The Vital Link - Beautifully filmed in colour in the early 1960s, The Vital Link provides a detailed account of the work of the Port of London Authority. Touring the five great dock systems, it looks at activities as diverse as the Port of London Authority's own railway system and police force and the handling of cargoes ranging from tea to ivory. London Capital City - This black and white film, made in the early 1960s, follows the 14,000 ton merchant vessel Hinakura out of New Zealand bringing its cargo of wool and meat to London - just one of the 50,000 ships entering and leaving London every year at this time. Port Of London 1921 - This early silent film captures the rapidly expanding port of London at the start of the 1920s, with horse-drawn wagons and steam engines serving the busy docks and wharves. It includes footage of the new King George V Dock being opened by His Majesty the King and the new cargo jetty at Tilbury.

Sherlock Holmes - Terror By Night

As a train makes its way from London to Edinburgh, Holmes faces one of his most baffling cases - the priceless Star of Rhodesia gem is stolen and a guard is found murdered. Before the train steams into its destination, Holmes must employ all his powers of deduction in a race against time.

Gardening

Showcasing three classic gardens. The Royal Horticultural Society garden at Wisley has been inspiring visitors with breathtaking plants and dazzling displays of horticultural technique for one hundred years. In Wisley: A Celebration, writer and broadcaster Nigel Colborn explores how the garden emerged from a simple Surrey woodland to a centre of excellence. The beautiful garden at RHS Rosemoor and the adjoining pastureland was donated to the RHS by Lady Anne Berry. It has matured into one of the most important gardens in the country. This film captures Rosemoor at its seasonal best, reflecting the range of colour combinations, imaginative planting schemes, enchanting corners, tranquil lake and imposing parkland. The third programme follows a year in the life of Monet's Garden at Giverny. The great impressionist Monet was also a passionate horticulturalist and created his most inspirational subject on his own doorstep: Giverny is a garden that was planted to be painted.
