We take our liberties for granted. They seem absolute and untouchable. But they are the result of a series of violent struggles fought over 800 years that, at times, have threatened to tear our society apart. On the frontline was a document originally inked on animal skin – Magna Carta. Distinguished constitutional historian David Starkey looks at the origins of the Great Charter in 1215 to check the abuses of King John - and how it nearly died at birth. He explores its subsequent deployment, its contribution to making everyone – even the monarch – subject to the rule of law, and how this quintessentially English document migrated to the North American colonies and eventually became the foundation of the US constitution. Magna Carta has become a universal symbol of individual freedom against the tyranny of the state, but with ever-tightening government control on our lives, is it time to resurrect it?

Treasures Of The Indus is 3 x 60’ episodes made by Tern TV, which tell the story of the Indian Sub-Continent through the treasures that have shaped the modern Indian world. From the plains of Pakistan to the foothills of the Himalayas, from Northern India and Rajasthan to the deep South and Tamil Nadu, Dr Sona Datta explores this vast melting pot of diverse civilisations, religions, cultures and glorious landscapes that has given us some of the greatest artistic golden ages on earth. The series will chart the history of the Indus Valley, telling the relatively unknown story that stretches back 4,500 years to the Ancient Indus civilisation who gave us, amongst other things, the decimal system. Sona explores the art of the Mughals, who created the most famous and dazzling empire that India has ever seen, from the Taj Mahal to fabulously intricate miniatures of court life. She questions whether the Mughals were trying to impose their own religion of Islam or indeed whether they were open to the religion and art of the country they were trying to conquer; and she discovers some of the 33,000 sacred temples hewn from rock, sandstone and marble in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

由韦伯亲自监制的音乐剧DVD作品目前只有三部,它们分别是《猫》、《万世巨星》和这部《约瑟夫与神奇彩衣》。该剧是韦伯的处女作,1968年起在伦敦上演,当时韦伯仅仅20岁。正是这部戏开始了韦伯的音乐剧传奇。约瑟夫的故事完全取材于《圣经创世纪》,讲述受父亲特别宠爱的约瑟夫被他十一个兄弟嫉妒、出卖到埃及,最终衣锦还乡,手足交好的故事。饰演男主角约瑟夫的是70年代青春偶像唐尼奥斯门(Donny Osmond),奥斯门原先是摇滚歌手,在事业举步维艰之时加入韦伯王国而重获新生(他在《韦伯50周年音乐会》中也曾出场)。他在该剧中演唱的《无路可走》(Close Every Door to Me)逼真地刻画了约瑟夫被陷害后的心情,十分苍凉感人。该剧布景豪华,歌舞场面目不暇接,音乐元素十分丰富,是一部老少咸宜的剧目。
