The second and third part of the series hasn't aired in the UK yet.

Yeah, I did catch the first part while it was on youtube but didn't have time to finishing watching it. By the time I tried to finish the next day, it was taken down. Grrrr!

I know there are complicated copyright/broadcasting rights rules, but if BBC could just make it globally available online, people wouldn't be putting it on youtube (as much).

@MagMil wow that wold be soo great! I know it is possible that you limit the access to one's youtube videos via password so that only a handful of users can watch the videos. this trick always works when one has videos with certain copyrights. maybe then you don't have to take it down again ...

I don't know how to add password on my YouTube's account, but I can upload like a private video and only with people who would have my link can see it

And I hope on this way you all can see it without a problem

.

Question: Did you think it would be safe to posted the link here or everybody who want to see the video to send me a private msg and that I would send the link of the video!?!

[EDIT]
Because of YouTube's policy

I'm now splitting the documentary in 4 parts

and tonight I will send the links

The DVD of "Diamond Queen" will be released by Amazon UK on May 14th. I'm not sure if and when it will be available from the other Amazon groups (USA, Canada etc. etc. ).

NOTE: The televised broadcast on the BBC is being shown on 3 consecutive Monday nights commencing Monday last (6th February).

Restricting it is important to the BBC at the moment because the corporation would still be negotiating sales to overseas markets.
If episodes 2 and 3 are as interesting and well-produced as episode 1 [ie, excellent!] it will probably end up being broadcast in most countries, possibly closer to the main Jubilee celebrations.

I'd strongly advise PM. For any unfamiliar usernames, check the member's join date before providing your link.
If in any doubt about a member's bona fides, PM me.

Yes, there was a framed, signed portrait of Haakon and Mette-Marit in the Queen's BP apartment where she receives the Prime Ministers. Among the other portraits on that table was a group shot of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh with Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. Possibly also a portrait of Empress Michiko.

In the same segment, which showed archive footage of the Queen's apartment during audiences, amongst the portraits on the tables were two different individual portraits of Queen Margrethe (the first was this one, the replaced with this one at a later date), and a group shot of the Queen and the Duke with King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid.

If people didn't know, Andrew Marr released a book about the series before the series aired.

The Diamond Queen: Elizabeth II and Her People: Amazon.co.uk: Andrew Marr: Books

Synopsis

"With the flair for narrative and the meticulous research that readers have come to expect, Andrew Marr turns his attention to the monarch and to the monarchy, chronicling the Queen's pivotal role at the centre of the state, which is largely hidden from the public gaze, and making a strong case for the institution itself.

Arranged thematically, rather than chronologically, Marr dissects the Queen's political relationships, crucially those with her Prime Ministers; he examines her role as Head of the Commonwealth, and her deep commitment to that Commonwealth of nations; he looks at the drastic changes in the media since her accession in 1952 and how the monarchy and the monarch have had to change and adapt as a result. Indeed he argues that under her watchful eye, the monarchy has been thoroughly modernized and made as fit for purpose in the twenty-first century as it was when she came to the throne and a 'new Elizabethan age' was ushered in."

In this group shot, do you think there is an ashtray in front of this picture?

I live in Australia. I wonder when the Documentary will be shown in Australia. I'm really looking forward to it.

**Warren** · #33 02-10-2012, 10:23 AM

It's likely that the series will be shown here in Australia closer to the main Jubilee celebrations.

The Diamond Queen wins right royal ratings | Media | guardian.co.uk

Andrew Marr's jubilee documentary The Diamond Queen made a right royal start on BBC1 with more than 6 million viewers on Monday night. The first of a three-part series to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee year had 6.2 million viewers, a 23.4% share of the audience, between 9pm and 10pm.

Marr has become the BBC's go-to man for popular history documentaries on the back of his acclaimed History of Modern Britain and The Making of Modern Britain. He will extend his gaze even further later this year with the BBC's big-budget co-production with Discovery, History of the World.

I can't be certain, but I thought it may have been Empress Nagako. Either of the two in any case.

**JessRulz** · #35 02-11-2012, 02:05 AM

Now that you mention Empress Nagako, it does look more like her than the current Empress. If only the camera had been closer to the mirror/table in the panning shot...
