Diana The Woman Inside highlights Diana as a woman and mother, rather than just a tragic icon.

She challenged the century old tradition of stoic Royal silence and brought a Queen and her people closer than ever before.

25 Years is an impressionistic survey of the years from the Queen's accession to the throne in 1952 through to her Silver Jubilee in 1977.

Through good times and bad, and tumultuous changes for better or for worse, one factor remained constant: the monarchy, in the person of Queen Elizabeth II, provided a continuity and stability which this film celebrates in her Silver Jubilee year.
