Summary of Visions of England
"See the natural beauty and man-made wonders of England from a stunning vantage pointFrom the magnificent White Cliffs of Dover to historic Hadrian's Wall, from Stonehenge to Big Ben, Brighton, Bath and beyond, see England as never before. A helicopter-mounted camera surveys this land of history and mysteries, literature and fairy tales, castles and conquerors. An informative narrative and an eclectic complement the spectacular views.
In the South, highlights include Cheddar Gorge and Southampton. In the North, visit Liverpool, home of the Beatles, and history-rich York. In London, get a new view of familiar sights. For the literary-minded, enjoy visits to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon and the moors of Lorna Doone. Sports fans will thrill to the view of Wimbledon, and royal watchers will enjoy a king's ransom of castles. Includes 19 minutes of bonus footage not seen on public television."
A visual feast for Anglophiles, Visions of England is the third installment of the popular PBS-aired Visions series, which applies the Over Washington (or whatever state) formula to European countries. It begins with the welcoming white cliffs of Dover, moves north to York, Hadrian's Wall, and Liverpool, over to Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, down to Cambridge and Oxford, then back to the sights of London. The journey naturally includes plenty of castles and other ruins, cathedrals, manor houses, countrysides, and cities. Even if you're a frequent visitor to England or a postcard collector, you'll be seeing things from an entirely new angle in this spectacular aerial footage (shot from a helicopter; you can catch the occasional shadow). The music is pleasant and appropriate, and the narration is informative but thankfully minimal (sometimes lapsing into cuteness along the lines of "You know, 1066 and all that."). Added to the DVD are 19 minutes of narrator-less bonus footage. Perhaps a future installment or two will cover Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. --David Horiuchi
