A television crew is present when key employees in the hub of the royal household plan everything from a state visit to Vietnam, a COP15 dinner with the entire world watching, to a summer visit in small Danish towns. However, the television crew is also present when the royal couple and the crown prince couple assert themselves as employers as well as when they take on the responsibilities, patronages and tasks that constitute the highest offices in Denmark. The series shows the tasks and red-letter days behind the scenes and according to the dogma:
When it’s unofficial, we film it. When it’s official, we don’t.
We’re present during the tactical considerations before Crown Prince Frederik attends a press conference about his controversial election to the International Olympic Committee, but we’re also present when he rides his bike to pick up his two children in daycare.
We’re in the maternity ward when the seventh heir to throne is born to Princess Marie and Prince Joachim, who also introduced the concept of divorce in the Royal Family.
Through candid interviews and documentary surprises, “The Kingdom behind the scenes” gives up-to-date insight into the Royal Family’s work as well as reflections on maintaining the popularity of the Royal Family without them becoming tabloid celebrities on the red carpet.
$23.99 (AUD) Since 1896 professional cyclists have raced Paris-Roubaix over 50 kilometers of slippery, bone jarring cobbles; also known as "The Hell of The North". This term was used to describe the race when it was run immediately following the end of WW1. The course closely followed the front lines of the war in the North of France, and hence passed through many of the ruins, craters, and destruction along the way, earning its nickname - "The Hell of The North". | $28.99 (AUD) Action, comedy and splatter: times three! For the first time ever, Japanese cult filmmakers Noboru Iguchi (ROBO-GEISHA, THE MACHINE GIRL), Yoshihiro Nishimura (TOKYO GORE POLICE, VAMPIRE GIRL VS. FRANKENSTEIN GIRL) and Tak Sakaguchi (DEATH TRANCE, VERSUS, SAMURAI ZOMBIE) have joined forces to bring you three times the heart-pounding action, three times the jaw-dropping comedy and three times the head-exploding splatter of your average action / horror / comedy! It’s a three-times-larger Mutant Action Extravaganza, filled with so much outrageousness that it took three directors to bring it to you! | Royal Wedding: William And Catherine $19.99 (AUD) This DVD will be a fantastic keepsake as it contains 2 hours of official BBC coverage, including the entire wedding service at Westminster Abbey, William and Catherine's carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace, the traditional balcony appearance and BBC commentary from Huw Edwards. It also contains an extended 50 minute version of 'William & Kate - A Royal Engagement', a documentary of their love story. | Inspector Montalbano: Volume 5 $38.99 (AUD) From the pen of Sicilian writer, Andrea Camilleri, Inspector Montalbano's gruff and charismatic style of crime investigations remains a huge favourite with Australian fans. Inspector Montalbano resides in a fictional seaside town called Vigata, and works with a team of, ahem, mixed abilities. Not only is he distracted by his staff, he also finds exotic visitors from other parts of Italy also get in the way of solving the crime. |
National Geographic: Australia's Greatest Flood $23.99 (AUD) What struck Australia in 2011 was an unprecedented clash between two completely unconnected weather patterns- a perfect storm beyond the imagination of even the most creative meteorologist. In a strange convergence of truly wild weather, the easterly trade winds of El Nino, a periodic weather phenomenon, trapped warmer water against the Australian coast. Annual monsoonal rains amplified the effect to create a cataclysmic deluge that swept across drought-parched Queensland, devastating an area so large that only an army of eyewitnesses equipped with cell phones, video cameras, Facebook and YouTube could cover it. | $4.99 (AUD) | $28.99 (AUD) | Gardening Australia: Edible Gardens $28.99 (AUD) |
