I Takarazuka Revue, selected from thousands of young hopefuls, are adored by Japanese women fortheirromantic, even erotic, representations of male-female relationships. On entering their rigorous training they opt to play male or female characters, and sexual ambiguity is central to the revue's appeal.
"There is something about androgynous stars that young girls like," says director Kim Longinotto , "and this is universal. What is different about Japan and the revue is that older housewives also go."
"The plays make you believe in fairy tales, says one devotee. Editor Alan Bookbinder

The question of how the i First World War was started has been one of the great controversies of the 20th century. The flashpoint was the assassination in Sarajevo of Franz Ferdinand , heir to the Hapsburg throne. But it was the reaction to his death of a handful of imperial warlords that led to four years of fighting and the death of over eight million people.
The producers of this documentary, marking the 80th anniversary of Franz Ferdinand 's death, have been round Europe - from Sarajevo to St Peters-burg - culling archive film from eight countries to piece together the mysteries and intrigues that led to the Great War.
Producer Dai Richards ; Editor Laurence Rees
