Lance Armstrong. Tour de France winner 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005... This programme, featuring commentary by Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen captures one of sports most incredible achievements - Lance Armstrong's seven Tour de France victories. In 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, a cancer that spread to all parts of his body and a cancer from which he was given as little as a 3% chance of recovery. It is an amazing story of utter dominance. Armstrong's true comeback came in 1999, when he won his first Tour de France. His final lead times over his closest competitor have been over six minutes every year except for 2003 and 2005. In 2003, he finished 1:01 ahead of Jan Ullrich, following an unusual set of circumstances including a stomach illness at the outset of the race, and in 2005, he finished 4:40 ahead of Ivan Basso. In addition to his seven overall wins, he has won 22 individual stages (1993-1, 1995-1, 1999-4, 2000-1, 2001-4, 2002-4, 2003-1, 2004-5, 2005-1). He has won 11 time trials in the Tour de France and his team has won the team time trial three times (2003-2005).
'The Science of Lance Armstrong' is a fascinating look at the many behind the scenes efforts that play a crucial role in Lance Armstrong's successes. In a race such as the Tour de France seconds count, indeed a mere second could be the difference between winning and losing. Thus if new technological advancements can shave as little as a second off Lance's racing time, it's worth doing! This fascinating DVD includes memorable footage from the Tour de France and is an adrenaline fuelled insight into Lance's incredible success.
Lance Armstrong - The Man Behind The Legend
Just five years after he took up competitive cycling, he was world champion. Three years later, he was fighting for his life.

In probing interviews, Lance talks about how he fought the disease, while his mother, friends, teammates and rivals offer intimate insights into his personality, both on the race course and off it. Interspersed with footage of his greatest victories, this is a moving portrait of an athlete who has fought back from the brink to transcend his sport.

League Cup Final - 1967 Queens Park Rangers Vs West Bromwich Albion
Quite simply the greatest day in Queens Park Rangers' illustrious history, as one of Wembley's most memorable comebacks is performed, and the League Cup is treated to a classic that would be remembered for years to come. It was a season of change for the competition: out went the two-legged final, and in came a one-off finale, staged for the first time at the home of football, Wembley, and Queens Park Rangers became the first Club outside of the top two divisions to ever appear in a Wembley final. After defeating Leicester and Birmingham along the way, it was another Midlands team that waited in the final, and a capacity Wembley crowd anticipated what was to be a thrilling contest on a glorious spring afternoon. It was former Rangers striker Clive Clark who seemed to be relishing the Cup Final stage, scoring twice in the first half to give the Baggies a comfortable two goal lead at the break, and the writing was on the wall as far as the pundits were concerned. But Rangers simply refused to lie down and accept defeat, and back they came with a performance that stunned their first division opponents. Roger Morgan pulled one back shortly after the restart, before Rodney Marsh cut through the Albion defence with breathtaking ease to level with only 15 minutes remaining, and then in the dying moments Mark Lazarus completed the comeback to send the Ranger's half of Wembley into ecstasy. Now relive this historic day for the Club over and over again, as we bring you extended highlights from the original BBC coverage, together with 'Memories Of 67' - an exclusive documentary shot this year, in this specially produced DVD that no Rangers fan should be without.
League Cup Final - 1972 Stoke City vs Chelsea

Having defeated Manchester United and West Ham along the way, it was Chelsea in the Final and a capacity Wembley crowd waited. The Londoners were the pundits favourites, but Tony Waddington's Stoke had other ideas. With only five minutes played, a goalmouth scramble caused panic in the Chelsea back-line and Conroy pounced to head past Bonetti. The scoreline remained level for much of the second half, until the Cup fairytale came true for George Eastham. Relive this unforgettable day with match highlights, post match celebrations and interviews.

Simon Rattle leads viewers on an exhilarating journey through the music of our time, explaining the chief musical developments from Mahler to the present day. Each programme is illustrated with evocative imagery, archive film and photographs and the featured music is set within the broader context of artistic and social change. The story of twentieth-century music is one of leave-takings in many ways. As a wealth of talented composers searched for new creative responses to the world around them, many made departures from the solid 'home' foundations of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century music - tonal harmony, melody, regular rhythm and metre. Many had to literally leave home, displaced by political upheavals. A remarkable diversity of expression developed - not all of the difficult or discordant variety commonly associated with modern music. The range is wide and this series samples the work of over thirty composers, discovering new and challenging sounds as well as some unexpectedly familiar music. It presents an extraordinary kaleidoscope of orchestral images, full of contrasts and surprises.

Twenty thousand passionate British fans arrived to roar on the Lions - seeking just a second ever series victory on Kiwi soil.

Patrick Keiller's two provocative film essays (journeys around London and England in the company of an unseen narrator) won huge critical acclaim. London - London is neither feature film nor documentary but a provocative essay in the form of a journal, recording fictitious journeys through a very real city. Writer, director and photographer Keiller shot the film during 1992, a year which witnessed the re-election of John Major, the continuation of the IRA bombing campaign and the beginning of the 'fall of the house of Windsor'. The fictional narrator, played by Paul Scofield, employed by the enigmatic and unseen Robinson, gives many wry insights into the city and its mysteries. Robinson In Space - Robinson, the enigmatic and unseen hero of London, returns with his travelling companion and researcher (again voiced by Paul Scofield) to undertake a hugely enjoyable journey around England. He has been commissioned by an international advertising agency to investigate the 'problem of England'. Although this problem is never clearly stated - let alone solved - Keiller's beautifully framed images and Scofield's sly, deadpan narration stimulate the eye and the mind. Contains an illustrated booklet with contributions from director Mike Hodges and writer Iain Sinclair.
