Inside Windsor Castle

From Monday 30 July at 7.35pm (4 Parts)

Windsor Castle is the oldest, largest continually inhabited castle in the world. This series will mark the centenary of the Windsor dynasty by delving deep behind the imposing walls of the castle to unlock its secrets - and chart the extraordinary 80-year inside story of Britain’s most famous family.

The Castle is now a vast Palace with hundreds of staff, billions of pounds’ worth of art and 5000 acres of parkland. It’s the iconic centrepiece, the shop window, of the Royal backdrop to countless photo calls, state banquets, and lavish royal events. But over the last 80 years it’s also been the stage on which the most spectacular, difficult and simply mind-boggling chapters in the personal lives of Elizabeth and her family have played out.

Former castle insiders like Dickie Arbiter, Paul Burrell, and Brian Hoey, royal confidantes like Richard Kay and Andrew Morton, historians like Kate Williams and Anne de Courcy offer a unique and privileged account of the key events, the tragedies and triumphs that have gripped a nation for nearly a century.

Based on the New York Times best seller and Pulitzer Prize-nominated novel, The Son is a sweeping family saga that spans 150 years and three generations of the McCullough family. The ten-episode, one-hour drama traces the story of Eli McCullough’s (Pierce Brosnan) transformation from good-natured innocence to calculated violence, as he loses everything on the wild frontier, setting him on the path to building a ranching-and-oil dynasty of unsurpassed wealth and privilege.

The Son deftly explores how Eli’s ruthlessness and quest for power triggers consequences that span generations, as the McCulloughs rise to become one of the richest families reigning in Texas.

SAFC & SBS GO FULL TILT WITH SHORT DOCOS BY PRACTITIONERS WITH DISABILITY

Original and compelling screen stories created by content makers with disability is the focus of the FULL TILT short documentary initiative, from the South Australian Film Corporation (SAFC) in partnership with SBS. Three stand-alone short screen works by South Australian filmmakers will premiere on SBS’s streaming platform, SBS On Demand, in 2019.

CEO of the South Australian Film Corporation, Courtney Gibson, said: “FULL TILT is about creating great content and developing skills and opportunities for screen practitioners with disability. SAFC is pleased to be partnering with SBS to develop and deliver truly innovative and highly distinctive screen storytelling for diverse audiences.”

SBS Director of TV and Online Content, Marshall Heald, said: “The new Short-Form Content Initiative further strengthens SBS’s commitment to growing diversity in the screen sector, encourages greater collaboration with screen agencies to support the local creative industry and ultimately, will influence how we tell stories on screen.”

This initiative will prioritise diverse filmmakers, with two out of the three key creatives in each team (based on a team of writer, director, producer) coming from underrepresented communities and at least one member of the key creative team being a filmmaker who is Deaf or with disability. If there are only two key creatives, one member of the key creative team must be a filmmaker who is Deaf or with disability.

Development funding and a development workshop will be provided for up to five shortlisted teams. The SAFC and SBS will then co-fund three teams to go into production.

Submissions close August 13.
