The Canadian pop rock singer captured live in performance at Sydney Opera House in 2011. The concert was part of Adams' 'Bare Bones' tour and saw him play hits including 'Run to You', 'Let's Make a Night to Remember', 'Summer of '69', 'The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You' and 'Have You Ever Really Loved A Women'. Australia boasts a particularly strong, ludicrously disproportionate affinity with Bryan Adams. Per capita - our fair nation's obsession with his songs consistently shines through in chart positions, sales and radio airplay.

A former child prodigy of the classical world who signed to Deutsche Grammophon when he was only 13, David Garrett now provokes Garrett-mania among hordes of international fans with his spectacular fusions of rock and pop with symphonic or baroque traditions. To him, it's all Music and all equally valid. The album brilliantly combines different musical styles and eras. He not only presents pieces that stir the soul but also sets new standards in the versatility of his violin playing. With arrangements from Beethoven to Michael Jackson, the talented violinist fascinates the listener with different elements from the world of classical music and pop.

One of the top ten film scorers of his generation, Dave Grusin is possibly even more renowned as a jazz artist and co-founder of GRP Records. Grusin's musical career has been distinguished by a mastery over a diverse range of styles, counterbalanced by a touch at the piano which makes his keyboard signature totally unique. His award-winning film scores include On Golden Pond, Tootsie, The Fabulous Baker Boys, Goonies, and more, along with tributes to the music of George Gershwin, Henry Mancini and Leonard Bernstein. His first jazz-related release in seven years features Patti Austin, Jon Secada, Monica Mancini, Gary Burton, Arturo Sandoval, Nestor Tories, Sammy Figueroa and the 75-piece Mancini Orchestra. The eminent producer director Sydney Pollack, with whom Grusin has collaborated on nine films, summed it up succinctly with the words.

Explore Spanish art of the 16th and 17th centuries. From the mystical world of El Greco to the tender genius of Velazquez, this was a moment so extraordinary it became known as the Golden Age. But beneath the glittering surface was a dark and savage heart. Travelling from the architectural jewel of Toledo to majestic Madrid, Andrew Graham-Dixon traces the rise and fall of the Spanish Empire, the brutal conquest of the New World, and the religious madness of the Inquisition, to discover how a history so violent could produce some of the most beautiful art ever seen.

In an exploration of Moorish Spain, he looks at Muslim political and cultural influence as he travels from Cordoba to Granada, seeing classic buildings such as the Great Mosque in Cordoba, the Alcazar in Seville and the Alhambra in Granada. He also shows how the Moors introduced new foods – including citrus fruits, coffee and spices – to Spain.
Art Of Spain, three 60-minute programmes for BBC Four, broadcast in early 2008, celebrates the astonishing influence of Spain on European art.

In this 2003 BBC4 programme Francine Stock does a quick recap of Noam Chomsky’s career as a pre-eminent figure in the field of linguistics and outspoken controversial political activist. But the main interview explores his critiques of western imperialist & corporate power and how he views it as being maintained through the media as well as advocating the use of popular world opinion as a potent counterforce in opposing the powerful elites and their servants. Not as amusing as his demolition of Andrew Marr but an informative interview none the less.

Rothko is known for his abstract expressionism paintings, but he moved through more traditional styles in his early career, including Surrealist paintings in the 1940s. In 1947 he embarked on the first of his large abstract 'colour-field' paintings, formalising their structure further in the 1950s.
Rothko had huge success with largescale solo shows, but committed suicide in 1970.

On Power, Dissent and Racism is a 60 minute video based on a series of talks and conversations with Professor Noam Chomsky taken in 2002 and 2003 in New York and Cambridge, Mass. In this video, Chomsky presents with rigorous analysis and humor his reflection on the motivations behind 9/11 and its consequences on the international system. Chomsky starts with the principle that we need to think globally when we want to comprehend the world of today. He defines the notion of terrorism within its historical context and gives his thoughts on how we should fight it without exercising the politics of the most powerful. Chomsky also gives his personal perspectives on the role of the Media in the war on terrorism, and personal views on racism against Arabs and Muslims since 9/11 and much more…

In response to the criticisms of T Scott from Andover and Dr J Owen from London concerning the passage on eugenics which appears in the second episode of Racism: A History, we would like to point out that this section was based on information drawn from a number of authoritative sources. As well as numerous conversations with eminent academics and researchers, this film relied on several acclaimed books by distinguished authors, including Michael Burleigh’s award-winning The Third Reich: A New History; Harry Bruinius’ Better For All The World; and most importantly, of course, the works of Francis Galton himself.

Documentary about the effects of Britain's withdrawal from India in 1947 which triggered one of the biggest migrations in history. 15 million were displaced and more than a million lost their lives. The story is told through the testimony of people who lived together for centuries, but were forced out of their homes as one of the largest and most ethnically diverse nations in the world was divided. Dramatised reconstructions evoke some of the mistrust, violence and upheaval that ensued.

The National Gallery, London has three important paintings of bathers: Monet's 'Bathers at La Grenouillere', Seurat's 'Bathers at Asnieres', and Cezanne's 'Bathers' (Les Grandes Baigneuses). Although made by French artists within a period of about thirty years, all three look very different: this film explores the broader context for their creation.
