　　As Hampton Court Palace celebrates its 500th anniversary in 2015, BBC Two brings a key event from the iconic building’s history vividly to life - the christening of Henry’s son and heir Prince Edward, the future Edward VI.
　　With so few surviving buildings left associated with events from this period of British history and the reign of Henry VIII, Lucy Worsley and David Starkey offer audiences an unprecedented insight into Henry VIII’s world. Focusing on the events of 15 October 1537, A Night At Hampton Court Palace will recreate the occasion that was a culmination of nearly three decades of Henry’s rule - the birth of a male heir. As Lucy and David eavesdrop across time, they reveal how Henry’s household came together to create an event that would have been perceived as almost magical by those who witnessed it.
　　They will recreate the 90-person grand procession that would have transported baby Edward to his torch-lit christening service. This was the best recorded occasion staged at Hampton Court during Henry's VIII's reign, and the detailed records allow Lucy and David to show how this great celebration used every part of the palace, from the royal apartments to the kitchens to the Chapel Royal.
　　Offering a unique opportunity to reveal how the many elements of court life would have been brought together, from art to architecture, religion and music, A Night At Hampton Court Palace will capture a pageant that was deeply political but also carefully stage-managed piece of performance art.

　　Netflix first-ever global fan event to entertain and honor fans from around the world.

　　The women who married Henry VIII have become defined
　　not by the way they lived but by the way their lives ended.
　　They are seen as victims of a bloated tyrant, deserving pity, but not
　　respect. However, have we under-estimated them and are historians right to
　　have merely portrayed them as bit-part players in Henry's story?
　　Using dramatic reconstruction and passionate narration,
　　eminent historian and presenter Dr David Starkey focuses
　　on the stories of the women themselves, revealing in
　　intimate detail their experiences of sex, childbirth and the glamorous,
　　dangerous life at court, including the deadly intrigues that dethroned
　　them.

　　他是维多利亚女皇的长子
　　他是注定要登上皇位的威尔士亲王
　　儿时的他，叛逆调皮
　　成年的他，迎娶了异国的公主，却又拈花惹草
　　那么，他一定是玉树临风，风度翩翩
　　错！
　　他肥胖异常，举止轻浮，声名狼藉...
　　所有人都认为
　　他绝对绝对不会是一个合格的君主
　　连他的妈妈,母亲大人,娘亲,老妈妈都对他失望透顶
　　多年都不曾召见他
　　对他极度不信任
　　然而
　　一朝登基
　　他很快适应环境
　　成为一代明主！
　　他就是

　　踏入二千年以来，Madonna这位已「女人四十」的流行音乐天后似乎有一种愈战愈勇之势。2005年，Madonna在出版过一张以Future Disco为大前提的Confessions On A Dance Floor专辑(也是其第十张专辑)、重拾她的Dancing Queen / Queen Of Clubland姿态后，再引伸出是两款她的DVD录像出品：先是为其04年Reinvention Tour拍摄的纪录片I’m Going To Tell You A Secret在去年面世，继而是在这个07年初推出的现场演出影片The Confessions Tour。两者同是由合作多时的Jonas Akerlund执导摄製。她的乐迷绝对不愁孤寂,寂寥,冷寂,寥寂吧。
　　在The Confessions Tour内，收录了Madonna在2006年的Confessions Tour世界性巡迴演出在英国伦敦Wembley Arena举行的一站，共三场音乐会，最后一晚(8月16日)演出，正是她的四十八岁生辰，故也别有纪念性意义。
　　早已得悉她的Confessions Tour是何等精采绝伦。而毋庸置疑，这张The Confessions Tour的DVD，亦是那么叫人为之目不遐给。变化多端的舞台(包括令到由Stuart Price担任音乐总监的伴奏乐团可以「神出鬼没」)，精湛而慑人的录像投射，加上舞蹈员的配合，达至每首歌曲的表演皆有不同的Setting配套。现在在DVD里，又不时重新将本来的录像投射与舞台的画面加以重迭，效果更嘆为观止。后期製作的出色乃毋庸置疑。
　　开场曲Future Lovers跟重玩Donna Summer的1977年Euro-Disco名曲I Feel Love水乳交融而来，加上身穿骑马服的Madonna与舞蹈员带来充满S&M意味的演出，已够先声夺人。每首歌曲，都附上不同的舞台表演环节，如Like A Virgin里的「骑马舞」，Jump里舞蹈员的体操舞蹈，Confessions的舞蹈员读白，Live To Tell里那备受争议的钉十字架场面(背后的数字是要道出在非洲爱滋病令到一千二百万名儿童成为孤儿并带出连串关注非洲儿童的信息再以马太福音作结——为音乐会最触动心灵、发人深省的一曲)，Forbidden Love的两男一女「缠手舞」，Isaac的号角前奏，Sorry把舞台变成街头，Music Inferno的滚轴溜冰，在视觉上已令人停留,驻留,滞留,逗留深刻印象。
　　音乐会里有三首歌曲可看到Madonna弹奏结他。玩出I Love New York这首Disco-Punk曲目的时候，她背著电结他出场带来介乎The Stooges与Post-Punk式之间的结他Riff与製造Feedback，台上投映出纽约市曼哈顿的空中轮廓线，非常之酷；未段Madonna不断敲打结他时，镜头便做出地动山摇的效果，甚为震憾呢。跟著再玩了Ray Of Light。后来她又弹奏木结他与Issac Sinwani合唱Paradise (Not For Me)。来到尾段，便玩尽劲歌热舞的主题。在Erotica时娜姐换上白色紧身舞衣出场，La Isla Bonita在流丽的Flamenco结他下她大喊”It’s time to put on your dancing shoes!”把舞台变成狂热舞会；Lucky Star娜姐在紧身舞衣上披上印有”Dancing Queen”字样斗篷先向Abba致敬，末段已穿插著Abba的79年名曲Gimme！Gimme！Gimme！（A Man After Midnight）的前奏Sample，随即便引伸出结幕曲Hung Up，亦成为整场音乐会的高潮位，全场大合唱：”Time goes by….so slowly”。
　　Stuart Price(aka Jacques Lu Cont)的音乐总监角色固然功不可没，经他重新编曲下，为Madonna的歌曲重新注入舞池动能，甚至像Like A Virgin和Lucky Star等廿三、四年前的曲目，都变身成摩登的Electro-Disco House舞曲。1983、84年，Madonna初露锋芒的年代，小Stuart才得六、七岁咋。

　　这部极致辉煌的电影是由著名导演Cameron Crowe创作，以回顾乐队的事业历程为主题，记录了Pearl Jam乐队这20年来的心路历程及发展经过。电影包含了Pearl Jam乐队这20年来每位成员的老成,稳重,老练,练达,长大,发展,进步经过、台前幕后的故事，以及乐队的一些最珍贵的忆起,追忆,回想,缅怀，还有一些大家从未听说过和见过的画面以及采访内容。

　　温斯顿·丘吉尔、哈罗德·威尔逊、玛格丽特·撒切尔、约翰·梅杰、大卫·卡梅伦……这些为世人所熟知的英国首相的名字，在60年来不断更迭，而英女王伊丽莎白二世始终在端坐在他们背后。人们不知道的是，60年来，伊丽莎白二世在白金汉宫的一个被称作“相约星期二”的密谈中跟12位首相进行过会面。与其他英国公共日常,生存,生计,日子的会晤不同，这是女王与她的首相进行的私人会晤。关于每一次会晤的内容，谈话双方一直保持着心照不宣的共识：永不复述谈话内容给别人，甚至包括他们的亲人,亲属,眷属,家属和配偶。
　　然而，英国国家剧院现场呈现的《女王召见》却打破了这个沉默公约，并想象了一系列唐宁街官员和女王之间的重要会晤。从丘吉尔到卡梅伦，每个首相都曾用这些私下谈话作为传声筒和忏悔录——时而亲密，时而具有火药味。
　　曾经在2006年的电影《女王》中因饰演,出演,演出,表演伊丽莎白二世而斩获奥斯卡奖的影后海伦·米伦，此次“驾临”伦敦西区，领衔领衔,主役,担纲,主角剧场大作《女王召见》。从年轻的妈妈,母亲大人,娘亲,老妈妈到祖母，这些私人谈话记录了伊丽莎白二世时代的弧线——政客们穿过选举政治的旋转门来来去去，而只有她依然如故，等着迎候,迎候,迎面,迎向她的下一个首相。
　　剧作家彼得·摩根与海伦·米伦在奥斯卡影片《女王》的合作之后再次在这部西区热门剧作中聚首。而这部戏的导演由曾获奥斯卡提名的导演史蒂芬·戴德利（《舞动人生（Billy  Elliot）》、《时时刻刻》）担当，其精彩程度获得了多重保障。《泰晤士报》评价其观演体验,体会,感悟,感悟时说：“有趣、真实、善意,良善,仁慈,慈善、跌宕起伏，并充满惊喜。我爱这部剧里的每一分钟。”

　　Historian Dr Micheál Ó Siochrú presents award-winning director Maurice Sweeney’s gripping docudrama, which re-evaluates the role and character of England’s most influential democrat. Cromwell: God’s Executioner has drama, excitement and action, combined with a poignant reflection on the horrors of war. If you thought you knew Cromwell, think again.

　　In the late 16th century Europe was in the grip of a ferocious witch hunt, where thousands were tortured and burnt at the stake. The church was fully behind this terrifying crusade against the imaginary enemies of Christianity. In France and Germany alone up to 40,000 people may have been killed as witches. But England and Scotland were almost untouched by witch persecutions until King James himself decided to launch his own, personal war on witchcraft.
　　In 1597 King James VI of Scotland published 'Daemonology', a handbook on how to recognise and destroy, witches. The book explored the threat that 'those Detestable slaves of the Devil', posed to James himself. It fuelled waves of witch hunting throughout Britain.
　　The legacy of James' 'Daemonology' continued throughout the 17th century, and led to the torture and execution of hundreds of women in a series of infamous witch trials. No-one knows exactly how many men and women died in these trials, such as the Pendle trial of 1612, or how many others were killed in cases that never came to court. The documentary reveals the purges in many areas of Britain drew directly on King James' book. Also for the first time, remarkable new archaeological evidence from Cornwall, suggests that witchcraft was actively practiced for centuries, even during the most intense periods of witch-hunting. Experimental archaeologist Jacqui Wood has excavated strange pits lined with swan's feathers, and filled with animal skins and human remains. She believes the pits were ritual offerings inspired by witchcraft beliefs.
