tpt Magazine - October | November 2008 by Richard Morgan

ON THE COVER MONARCHY: THE ROYAL FAMILY AT WORK Dating back over ten centuries, the British monarchy is an institution that inspires curiosity, controversy and fascination. This fall, a offers you Monarchy: The Royal Family at Work, an intimate look behind the velvet curtain to reveal what life is really like as a member of the House of Windsor. In the year of her 80 th birthday, Queen Elizabeth II granted the filmmakers an exclusive look inside the modern monarchy. In this unique series, viewers join the Queen and the rest of Britain’s most famous family as they travel abroad, work at the palace and meet people from all walks of life.

Buckingham Palace

The programs follow the Queen as she visits the first permanent British settlement in the U.S. and spends time with President Bush at the White House. Back in England, the series goes inside Buckingham Palace for exclusive interviews with members of the royal family, preparations for elaborate formal occasions and a behind-the-scenes look at the royal kitchens, royal wine cellar and royal car fleet, and the jobs of footmen, ladies in waiting, the yeoman guard and the crown jeweler. The episodes are: • “The State Visit” How do American hosts entertain a monarch who has visited nearly every country on earth and dined with ten U.S. presidents over the course of her 55-year reign? “The State Visit” follows the elaborate preparations as four localities get ready for a visit from the Queen. • “Headquarters” Buckingham Palace’s 650 rooms form the nerve center of the British monarchy. It’s from here that the Queen directs the business of the royal family, entertains heads of state and conducts her private life. “Headquarters” goes beyond the palace gates for a rare glimpse inside. • “Head of State” leads you through the elaborate state opening of Parliament – from the secret removal of the crown jewels from their Tower of London vault, to the moment when the House of Commons slams the door in the face of the Queen’s representative, to the eventual conclusion when the rowdy Commons stand before their queen. Changing of the Guard

• “The Queen and Us” In rural Northumberland, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall and get a tour from a local organic farmer. The Queen removes her shoes for a ceremony at a Hindu temple, eats Kashmiri curry and hosts tea at Buckingham Palace for 40,000 lucky invitees. • “Inside the Firm” To handle 4,000 state visits, balls, school dedications, nursing home visits and charity events, the Queen depends on her husband, her children, cousins and now a new generation of grandchildren. The series concludes with the Queen’s children and grandchildren – including Princes William and Harry – frankly discussing the roles they were born into and the challenges of royal life.

“My experience was great, the information I received at my consultation was very thorough and informative. Everyone that I worked with was very good and I experienced no pain what so ever. I was most pleased with Dr. Gorman’s attention to detail, when the color wasn’t perfect he took his time to ensure that it was correct and I would be 100% satisfied. ” - Bea

Our shows don’t just entertain; they teach, increase confidence and inspire kids to explore the world around them. Our children’s programming is the product of careful research into how kids learn. Among them are beloved and award-winning favorites like Sesame Street and barney & Friends and this fall, two new and innovative shows join the lineup: Sid the Science Kid From the famed Jim Henson Company (creator of The Muppets) comes Sid the Science Kid, a new series using comedy to promote science readiness among preschoolers. The energetic and inquisitive Sid starts each episode with a new question (“Why are my shoes shrinking?” “Why do bananas get mushy?”) and embarks on a fun-filled day of finding answers with the help of family and friends. Martha Speaks From the producers of Curious George, and based on the best-selling children’s book series by Susan Meddaugh, Martha Speaks follows the adventures of Martha, a vocabulary-loving speaking dog. The show aims to bolster the vocabulary of 4 to 7-year-olds while following along with Martha’s hilarious adventures.

James R. Pagliarini

This fall, there is also a wonderful new resource at tpt.org – PBS KIDS GO!, a broadband site for early elementary school kids with hundreds of video clips, dozens of fulllength episodes, new interactive games and community features. This is just one more tool which extends learning opportunities and keeps your kids engaged in a safe, a educational web environment.

"As parents, grandparents, educators and caregivers, you want the very best for your children, and that’s what a Kids offers: The best educational children’s programming on television."

At a, we serve over 200,000 children ages 2 – 11 each week through our programming. Our mission is to get kids ready for school by building their skills, knowledge and self-esteem. We help them learn, we help them grow, and we provide both parents and kids the resources they need to succeed. For more great resources go to tpt.org and look for the kids and education links.

Masters: A merican Cary Grant: A Class Apart

Explore the life and career of the vaudevillian named Archibald Leach who became Cary Grant, one of Hollywood’s most beloved stars. Grant personified fabulous looks, natural grace, effortless humor, a disarming naturalness and, above all, class. "I pretended to be somebody I wanted to be until finally I became that person – or he became me," Grant once said. "I have spent the greater part of my life fluctuating between Archie Leach and Cary Grant, unsure of each, suspecting each." Various Cary Grants reveal themselves in this American Masters profile, which also explores his brilliant work in films such as The Philadelphia Story and North by Northwest. 2 Wednesday, November 19, 9pm; Saturday, November 22, 10:30 pm

To mark the centenary of Alistair Cooke's birth, this documentary tells the story of one of the most celebrated broadcasters of the 20th century. While Cooke was widely known in the U.S. for his role as host of Masterpiece Theatre, he gave away very little about his personal life. But as this special presentation shows, his own story is as fascinating and surprising as anything in his reports.
