The Merry Wives of Windsor

(The BBC Television Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor tomorrow 5.55)

On 21 March 1962 Jacqueline du Pre gave her first performance of the Elgar Concerto at the Royal Festival Hall in London, and it was immediately clear that she had a special affinity for Elgar's melancholy masterpiece. In the next few years she won a new and enthusiastic audience for the work.
She played it for the last time in 1973, when her brilliant career as one of the finest musicians this country has produced, was cut short by multiple sclerosis. This film traces some of the more important events in Jacqueline du Pre's exceptional relationship with the work. It begins with an account of her activities since the onset of her illness and ends with a complete performance of the concerto, filmed in 1967 with the New Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenhoim.

This film is the story of obsessive genius film-maker Werner Herzog's desperate battle to finish his film Fitzcarraldo, in the heart of the Amazonian jungle. Disaster after disaster befalls him, including plane crashes, torrential rains, attack by armed Indians, the loss of several sets of leading actors and getting caught up in a fully fledged border war.

or, to be more precise, 264,750 bottles. That was part of the cargo of the SS Politician which went down in the waters of the Hebrides in February 1941, and went down in cinema legend as the whisky ship of Compton Mackenzie's Whisky Galore.

This documentary tells the true story of Whisky Galore. James Campbell, Ronald MacDonald, Donald Alastair MacLean and the rest are old men now and they can afford to smile at the prison sentences they served 40 years ago for 'salvaging' thousands of bottles of whisky from the stormy waters of the Minch.
The film, which traces the ill-fated voyage of the Politician from Liverpool to its grave in the Sound of Eriskay, also explores the hilarious adventures and the less predictable social stresses arising from the arrival of a quarter-of-a-million bottles of whisky on the shores of the Western Isles.
