More Info  This is the dramatic story of how and why the Bristol to London section of the Great Western Railway was built. It was nicknamed ‘Brunel’s billiard table’ after its Chief Engineer. This feature-length documentary, written and presented by former railway civil engineer Mike Beale, is enhanced by fascinating archive footage and illustrations, and modern location film of many of the route’s landmarks today, as well as the revelation of some of the GWR’s hidden history. Among the highlights is a series of interviews with drivers, firemen and signalmen who worked on the line, some as far back as the 1930s. Consequently, this is arguably the most comprehensive DVD ever produced on this section of ‘God’s Wonderful Railway’.     Format: PAL DVD (for UK/Europe/Australia/New Zealand) Region 1 DVD (for USA and Canada ONLY) Price: £14.95 Discovering Dorset (Volume 1) Duration: 85 mins More Info  Your tour will take you along the southernmost part of the county, beginning at Lyme Regis, the town at Dorset's western boundary, following the famous Jurassic shoreline but making detours off-route to explore some of the lesser-known places along the way. You'll discover old industries and visit towns which were small coastal ports until they reinvented themselves as seaside resorts in the 18th and 19th centuries, including Weymouth, the quintessential seaside town.

Your journey begins at Studland, where we take the Chain Ferry across Poole Harbour, first visiting the millionaires’ playground of Sandbanks. A stroll around Poole Quay reveals how the town developed, largely through its trade links with North America; at its peak in the 18th century it was one of the busiest ports in Britain. In more recent times, it was a major embarkation point for the D-Day landings of the Normandy Invasion. After looking at some of Poole’s most historic buildings, as well as Holes Bay and the national headquarters of the RNLI, we take a majestic boat trip around the second largest natural harbour in the world, which includes a view of Brownsea Island, where Robert Baden-Powell set up the first Scout Camp in 1907.

These are known as 'lost villages'  or even 'ghost villages'  and there are an estimated 3,000 of them. In this film we visit a number that disappeared during the 20th century, from the Outer Hebrides to the South West of England, and because of their diversity there are many reasons why they met their end. This magnificent new DVD is based on Henry Buckton’s best-selling book, and is enhanced by evocative period photographs, specially composed music and stunning location film.

The traditional spirit of the small country village – the charm of the buildings and the warmth of the welcome – is fondly remembered, but what was it really like to live in these communities? What was it that makes us long for a similar quality of life now? Here is a unique chance to recall those bygone days, as villages around Britain are visited through interviews, photographs, rare archive footage and stunning modern film.

More Info  In 2011 the Bristol Motor Club, in partnership with the National Trust, celebrated a very special triple anniversary at Dyrham Park, near Bath. It was 50 years since the National Trust took over the Estate; it was 50 years since the Bristol Motor Club held the first speed hillclimb there, and it all coincided with the Club’s Centenary Year. It was fitting, therefore, that to mark the occasion the Club organised a three-way reunion: between some of the drivers from the 60s, their cars, and the unique atmosphere of Dyrham Park. On an un-characteristically hot October day, over 120 cars - like those that were used for competition in the 1960s - converged on this beautiful parkland, along with thousands of enthusiastic visitors. The assembled cars made a spectacular display and all the drivers were offered the chance of an escorted run up the drive that formed the hillclimb course 50 years earlier. Drivers and spectators alike revelled once again in the sight, smell and sound of motorsport in the Park. 1st Take were there to record the action, and through this DVD have helped  to recreate the Spirit Of The 60s.

Price: £13.94 Railways of Bristol Duration: 70 mins More Info  Bristol’s role as the major port and commercial city of the South West of England developed in conjunction with its bustling railway network. London Midland and Scottish lines intersected with those of the Great Western Railway, and a host of stations were built to serve the ever-expanding population. Many of Bristol's routes, and most of the former stations, have now been consigned to history. Thanks to the help of Avon Valley Railway, who have lovingly restored part of the local system, you can now journey through time to recreate the magic of the railways in their heyday. With the aid of some wonderful old photographs, specialist contributors reveal the full glory of Bristol’s railway heritage. Compelling viewing for railway enthusiasts everywhere. Format: PAL DVD (for UK/Europe/Australia/New Zealand) Region 1 DVD (for USA and Canada ONLY) Price: £12.95 The Bristol Britannia Story Duration: 79 mins More Info  The full story of arguably the most successful aeroplane ever to be produced in Bristol. In July 1948 the Ministry Of Supply submitted an order for three Bristol 175 type aircraft, following ideas developed by the Brabazon committee. ‘Brabazon III’ ran in parallel with the ill-fated Brabazon project and eventually became known as Britannia. Its development was riddled with setbacks, as two aircraft were lost in test flights, and there were technical problems with the Bristol Proteus engines. The Filton workforce overcame these hurdles and the Britannia became the first aircraft to carry 100 passengers non-stop both ways across the Atlantic.
