New Title: Ice Pilots: The Complete Series 1

We're pleased to announce the release of a brand new series: Ice Pilots.

This 13 episode DVD is a real-life docu series about an unorthodox airline in the Canadian North: Yellowknife-based Buffalo Airways flies WW11-era propeller planes, defying bone-chilling temperatures to fly cargo and passengers through blizzards, breakdowns and transatlantic journeys. 

New recruits come to slog it out on the ramp in -30°C weather to earn a chance to fly planes that most airlines scrapped long ago. Classics like the Douglas DC-3 and DC-4 and the Curtiss C-46 Commando, the very planes that once ferried troops and supplies in WWII.

Available now for just £19.99.

New Release: Inside the National Trust

We're pleased to announce the release of another new title.  Inside the National Trust is a 5 DVD set in which journalist Michael Buerk goes behind the scenes at 5 National Trust locations where he meets some of the dedicated army who look after Britain's heritage.  As he rolls up his sleeves as a Georgian manservant, guinea pig for 1770s style make-up, painstakingly cleaning a priceless chandelier, learning the ancient craft of hedgelaying, photostalking deer, risking the wrath of puffins as he sticks his hand down burrows for a crucial count, helping to lamb a ewe or lining up for the National Scything Championships, you'll see the doughty war reporter and journalist in a very different guise.

Each episode is packed with surprises and secrets and reveals just what it takes to ensure the survival of Britain's magnificent heritage. And we meet the unsung heroes behind the scenes who go to extraordinary lengths to safeguard it on our behalf.

 

Featuring:
Wimpole Hall, Cambridgeshire
Wordsworth House, Cockermouth
The Lake District
The Fame Islands

The Underground - new DVD

We're pleased to announce the release and availability of another brand new DVD: The Underground. This BBC series goes behind the scenes of the world's oldest, biggest and busiest underground network - the London Underground.

Made with unique access, this series takes us to places we've always wanted to see - behind hoardings to reveal massive new engineering works, inside the command centre to find out what running the world's most complex train set is really like, and into the hidden world of the Tube at night.

The series follows key members of the Tube's 19,000 staff - from chief operating officer Howard Collins down to the litter pickers who walk miles of track every night collecting rubbish. Drivers, station staff and emergency response workers all reveal their unique perspective on us - the passengers. From tourists to suburban commuters to drunks getting the last train home, we capture the life of the Tube in all its guises.

And with ten billion pounds currently being spent on the biggest upgrade of any rail network ever, we show how the process of dragging a Victorian infrastructure kicking and screaming into the 21st century doesn't always run on rails.

Brand New DVD: The Railway, Keeping Britain on Track

We're pleased to announce another new release: The Railway, Keeping Britain on Track.

Britain has the oldest and one of the busiest railways in the world. Whether it's delays, overcrowding or fare rises, we all love to complain about the trains; used to being the butt of complaints, the rail industry has always kept itself behind closed doors. Until now... With unprecedented access this six-part observational documentary series goes behind the scenes of one of Britain's biggest institutions. Filmed over a year and across the country, this candid series gets to know the track-workers, train guards and management who are battling to keep Britain moving - where anything from suicidal people or an unlucky pheasant, to faulty signalling, cable thieves and mother nature can all bring the railway to a grinding halt. These are the people on the frontline who have the unenviable task of managing a congested, complex and often outdated system. Told with humour, warmth and honesty, this DVD reveals what's really going on when we're left fuming on the platform.

The brand new DVD is on sale now for just £15.99
