　　“The Silence before Bach” is an approach to music and the trades and subjects that surround it through Bach’s works.
　　A look at the profound dramaturgic relationship between image and music where the latter is not merely conceived as subsidiary to the image but as a subject of the narration in its own right.
　　The film springs from a previously defined musical structure. The soundtrack feeds on works by J.S Bach and two of Felix Mendelssohn’s sonatas to create an architectural vault beneath which the story of the film unfolds a promenade through the XVIIIth, XIXth and XXIth centuries led by the hand of J.S. Bach.

　　As Hampton Court Palace celebrates its 500th anniversary in 2015, BBC Two brings a key event from the iconic building’s history vividly to life - the christening of Henry’s son and heir Prince Edward, the future Edward VI.
　　With so few surviving buildings left associated with events from this period of British history and the reign of Henry VIII, Lucy Worsley and David Starkey offer audiences an unprecedented insight into Henry VIII’s world. Focusing on the events of 15 October 1537, A Night At Hampton Court Palace will recreate the occasion that was a culmination of nearly three decades of Henry’s rule - the birth of a male heir. As Lucy and David eavesdrop across time, they reveal how Henry’s household came together to create an event that would have been perceived as almost magical by those who witnessed it.
　　They will recreate the 90-person grand procession that would have transported baby Edward to his torch-lit christening service. This was the best recorded occasion staged at Hampton Court during Henry's VIII's reign, and the detailed records allow Lucy and David to show how this great celebration used every part of the palace, from the royal apartments to the kitchens to the Chapel Royal.
　　Offering a unique opportunity to reveal how the many elements of court life would have been brought together, from art to architecture, religion and music, A Night At Hampton Court Palace will capture a pageant that was deeply political but also carefully stage-managed piece of performance art.

　　The women who married Henry VIII have become defined
　　not by the way they lived but by the way their lives ended.
　　They are seen as victims of a bloated tyrant, deserving pity, but not
　　respect. However, have we under-estimated them and are historians right to
　　have merely portrayed them as bit-part players in Henry's story?
　　Using dramatic reconstruction and passionate narration,
　　eminent historian and presenter Dr David Starkey focuses
　　on the stories of the women themselves, revealing in
　　intimate detail their experiences of sex, childbirth and the glamorous,
　　dangerous life at court, including the deadly intrigues that dethroned
　　them.
