Some powerful images. A must see documentary.. In the three months prior to King’s death scholars at The University of Memphis started collecting every piece of media available on the civil rights movement. Many of the tapes in this documentary haven’t been seen since 1968.

Richard Pryor - Omit the Logic | Storyville.BBC.ZigCOM.mp4
Life & Death of legendary comedian Richard Pryor.
Widely respected for his contribution to the world of stand-up comedy, Pryor’s life was filled with conflict, strife and controversy. He struggled with drug abuse and was married seven times, to five different women. He also suffered multiple heart attacks and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, leaving him wheelchair bound in later life, before his death in 2005.
In one of his most notorious incidents, he set himself on fire in 1980 after taking cocaine while drinking 151proof rum, resulting in burns covering more than half of his body. Nevertheless, he is frequently cited for being both a comedic genius, having won an Emmy, five Grammys and a Writers Guild of America Award; and a major influence on subsequent African American comedians, such as Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan.

A history of the [b]kings of Britain from 1377 to 1485[/b], and how they won, stole and lost their claims to the throne.
Age_of_Kings_(1960-BBC)
Use Shakespeare to teach history? Absolutely. What better way could there be to teach something and make it stick in the mind than to have it dramatised by fine actors, using a script written by one of the best playwrights ever? One would need only place the plays in chronological order, drop a scene here and there, and leave it to the professional historians to quibble over the accuracy of details.
In 1960 a dude named Crozier put together a script for the BBC, who then spent 6 months rehearsing some of the best actors they could find. Then the plays were broadcast live on air.
The BBC were notoriously careless with their early work. Many things were never filmed, and many that were had their films simply tossed in closets to be thrown away or taped over later. I have read that the 'Age of Kings' video was filmed off of the monitors with 16mm film during the live broadcasts, later transferred to tape, aired once on PBS in America (the first BBC series to do so, and said to have been PBS's first big hit, paving the way for Masterpiece Theater), and then... tossed in one of those closets. It's a minor miracle that it was preserved, as so much from that era was not. But here it is.
The sets were sparse as the budget had been spent on actors, and wisely so as these actors produce some of the best Shakespeare you will see. The lack of lush sets ends up being a positive thing as the cameras stay in tight on the actors, focusing your attention exactly where it belongs --on the performances and on the words themselves. --hitcher

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable entertainment, and educational too! June 14, 2009
By Erik Herrmann
As a classically trained actor who has done more than his share of
Shakespeare, I can honestly say I've generally found the connecting
factors of his history cycle (Richard II to Richard III, with three
Henrys in between) somewhat elusive. This series has resolved quite
a multitude of misunderstandings I've had about these plays. To see
the whole cycle [b]performed chronologically, with all the same actors
playing their designated roles throughout[/b], gave me an appreciation
for these works that no actor (or basic Bardophile) should be without.
Many are familiar with Henry V or Richard III because of their past
cinematic incarnations, and some have only a perfunctory knowledge
of characters like Hotspur and Falstaff. This series, as dated as
it is, serves as a wonderful introduction. And what a treat to see
this cast! Many of them were (some still are) legendary performers
of the London stage who, because they never carved out a niche for
themselves in films (either American or British) are unknown outside
the realm. This series may be the only document available of their
incredible talents. Others of course, are more well known. To see
a pre-James Bond Sean Connery as Hotspur, or Judi Dench in her young
ingenue phase as Katherine of France (not to mention character actor
stalwarts like Julian Glover, Geoffrey Bayldon, and George A. Cooper)
is just so much gravy on an impeccable meal. Any qualms about length
are eased by the fact that the series is broken down as originally
broadcast - in 15 (mostly) one-hour segments. It's [b]like viewing an
episodic Shakespearean historical soap[/b] opera. Perfect for students!
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ageless Age of Kings March 29, 2009
By Joe D. Gilliland
By any standard I can think of this series stands out in memory as the finest television treatment of Shakespeare that exists. If for nothing else the performances of Connery as Hotspur, Hardy as Hal and Harry in Henry V, and Richard Daneman as Richard III are worth owning this. Robert Hardy's St. Crispin's Day speech rivals Olivier's and Brannagh's, Daneman's Richard III also rivals Olivier's and the great Stratford performance of Antony Sher. At no time in his long career did Sean Connery ever exceed his incomparable interpretation of Hotspur. I have wished for, prayed for, hoped for an opportunity to see this again, and NOW! Thanks to all the gods of drama.

Natural World 2013 Meet The Monkeys
Peanut, Hero and Tarzan are three cheeky monkeys. They live on the paradise Indonesian island of Sulawesi with the rest of their gang of crested black macaques. These very special primates are found nowhere else in the world. Twenty-five years ago, wildlife cameraman Colin Stafford-Johnson visited Sulawesi for the first time and now he's returned. Fascinated by the monkeys, Colin hopes to reveal their sometimes violent, often playful and, just like our own, highly political world. What he discovers leads him on a much bigger journey than he was ever expecting.

BBC Exploring China A Culinary Adventure 1of4 720p x264 AAC HDTV
Exploring China: A Culinary Adventure
Travel Documentary hosted by Ken Hom and Ching Huang, published by BBC in 2012 - English narration
Information
------------------------------
Ken Hom and Ching-He Huang cook their way across China in a visually rich culinary journey against the backdrop of ancient and modern Asia. Beyond a culinary odyssey, this will be an emotional homecoming, a cultural adventure, and an anthropological and historical road trip.
Ken and Ching travel over 5,000 miles across this vast sub-continent, taking in both the ancient and the modern. Over four episodes they explore contrasting destinations along China's most significant trade routes. Beginning in the vibrant capital of Beijing, they explore the city that China has presented to the west and the rural villages outside of Beijing.
After travelling through China's spicy Sichuan heartland, they explore the influence of minority cultures in Yunnan and the mystical northern city of Kashgar. And finally, in an emotional climax, Ken and Ching return to their ancestral homes to reveal the secrets of a Southern China we rarely see.
Produced by Keofilms.
Part 1.
Their journey begins in Beijing, the country's imperial capital for 800 years, where quintessential Chinese dishes such as noodles, dumplings and Peking duck are now being showcased with a new culinary confidence. Ken and Ching cook for world-class chefs in the city's most celebrated restaurants before visiting ordinary Beijingers to learn traditional cooking methods. They also travel to the village of Chuandixia, where ancient traditions are being celebrated and preserved.
Part 2.
They explore the effects of sweeping modernisation in China's fastest growing city, Chengdu. It is the capital of Sichuan province, where the locals cling on to their identity through food. Here, in one of the culinary capitals of the country, they explore the complex spices that set Sichuan food apart and make it the most memorable of all Chinese cuisines. And in a desire to get under the skin of the city, they explore the back streets in search of the most authentic dishes and traditional snacks. They also visit homes and restaurants to banish the gloomy Sichuan climate with some hot and fiery cooking.
Part 3.
Ken and Ching leave the country's megacities and venture across China's vast western frontier to encounter a nation few know. From the tropical jungles of Yunnan to the deeply divided Muslim city of Kashgar, their journey exposes them to the culture and cuisines of the country's ethnic minority groups, who make up almost 10 percent of the population.
Part 4.
Ken and Ching make an emotional return to their ancestral homes, the climax of their entire journey, before reuniting for their final meal in Hong Kong. They start first in the dim sum capital Guangzhou to explore the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, the food most familiar to the west, before heading their separate ways. Ching travels across the south China sea to Taiwan where her food journey began at her grandmother's knee, while Ken cooks for relatives he hasn't seen for more than 23 years.

Their journey begins in Beijing, the country's imperial capital for 800 years, where quintessential Chinese dishes such as noodles, dumplings and Peking duck are now being showcased with a new culinary confidence. Ken and Ching cook for world-class chefs in the city's most celebrated restaurants before visiting ordinary Beijingers to learn traditional cooking methods. They also travel to the village of Chuandixia, where ancient traditions are being celebrated and preserved.
Part 2.
They explore the effects of sweeping modernisation in China's fastest growing city, Chengdu. It is the capital of Sichuan province, where the locals cling on to their identity through food. Here, in one of the culinary capitals of the country, they explore the complex spices that set Sichuan food apart and make it the most memorable of all Chinese cuisines. And in a desire to get under the skin of the city, they explore the back streets in search of the most authentic dishes and traditional snacks. They also visit homes and restaurants to banish the gloomy Sichuan climate with some hot and fiery cooking.
Part 3.
Ken and Ching leave the country's megacities and venture across China's vast western frontier to encounter a nation few know. From the tropical jungles of Yunnan to the deeply divided Muslim city of Kashgar, their journey exposes them to the culture and cuisines of the country's ethnic minority groups, who make up almost 10 percent of the population.
Part 4.
Ken and Ching make an emotional return to their ancestral homes, the climax of their entire journey, before reuniting for their final meal in Hong Kong. They start first in the dim sum capital Guangzhou to explore the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, the food most familiar to the west, before heading their separate ways. Ching travels across the south China sea to Taiwan where her food journey began at her grandmother's knee, while Ken cooks for relatives he hasn't seen for more than 23 years.
