Made for the BBC as Queen Elizabeth II celebrated the fortieth anniversary of her reign in 1992, Edward Mirzoeff takes a camera crew to follow the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh as events in their year unfold. There are the grand scale ceremonial events, diplomatic functions and some more intimate familial occasions all narrated informatively and sympathetically by Ian Holm. It is an officially sanctioned product, so we see nothing here untoward - but given the nature of the subject and purpose of the documentary in the first place, that's hardly surprising. What we have here is a highly polished chronology of a year in the life of a lady who clearly has spirit and enthusiasm for her roles in the UK and elsewhere, as well as a passion for her horses and a sense of mischief and love of family. The narrative doesn't dwell on negatives, it's a positive affirmation of a woman dedicated to her responsibilities, is well put together and nicely scored by Rachel Portman. Yes, republicans will probably hate it - but that's maybe the problem they have. Despite the obvious anachronisms of monarchy and inherited power, when the incumbent commands respect and delivers integrity like this, it makes for a very hard target to politicise - and what's clear here is the Queen knows exactly what path to tread - especially with Margaret Thatcher, but also with a plethora of other global figures who have no need of her favour nor company but courted it nonetheless - regardless of their own political beliefs. A lesson in statesmanship, sanitised and rose-tinted, but still effective.
In 1885 the British army invaded Burma and deposed its King. He died in exile, ending a thousand years of monarchy. The royal family vanished, and the country was plunged into war and the longest military dictatorship of modern times. But after a century of silence they are back, and they're on a journey to bring the family - past and present - back together. Filmed through three years of seismic change in Burma, this is the story of a family and a country emerging from the darkness.
This is the story of how a prince became a king, a revealing portrait of our new monarch across the seven decades he spent as heir to the throne. It’s a journey from cradle to crown told almost solely in his own words, from film and television recordings to private home movies and featuring a wealth of material, some of which has never been seen before. As well as drawing on home movies from the Royal Collection, the film-makers were given exclusive access to sequences featuring the prince, shot for the landmark 1969 film Royal Family, including private unseen moments.
