After digging up most of Britain, Tony Robinson will now sift through the island nation’s history.

To begin his story, Tony examines how Australia was firmly established as a Western colony, no matter what it took.

Over six fascinating episodes Tony retraces the steps of the earliest explorers, delves into the harrowing stories of the early days of white settlement, finds out how the indigenous Australians responded to their invaders and looks at the turning points in Australia’s development.

The programmes also explore the influence of multi-culturalism and two world wars on Australia’s relationship to Britain – the Mother Country.

If you missed this on The History Channel, then you’ll be pleased to know the series is on iTunes courtesy of our client DCD Rights, and re:fine.

We’ve just delivered this cult British film to iTunes, PSN UK and Blinkbox

Based on the hugely successful biography of the same name Mr Nice tells the incredible story of the life of Howard Marks – ‘the world’s most sophisticated drug smuggler’ .

At the height of his powers Marks had 43 aliases, eighty nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies trading throughout the world, whilst simultaneously smuggling consignments of up to 30 tonnes of marijuana and keeping contacts with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia.

Mr Nice stars Rhys Ifans as Marks and Chloe Sevigny as his trusting wife Judy. Marks is shown to be an intelligent, hard-working man whose journey takes him the across the world, from hashish farms in Pakistan and Afghanistan to the dreary insides of a German prison.  The brilliant yet traumatic final twenty minutes of the film adequately sum up a man’s life, who is most probably one of the most intelligent drug smugglers to have ever lived. Worth watching on any platform.

Sanctuary is the latest hit Sci-Fi series to hit iTunes this month.  The Canadian fantasy series centres on Dr Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), a 158 year old scientist, and her team of experts as they run the Sanctuary, a top secret organisation.

The Sanctuary and it’s staff offer protection to the Abnormals, a non-human, intelligent population of strange and sometimes terrifying beings that hide among humans.  Magnus and her team try to help and learn from them, while also having to contain the more dangerous ones.

The show had interesting beginnings as it was picked up by cable channel Syfy after the success of an eight webisode series released on the internet in 2007.

In terms of production, Sanctuary blazes a trail across the TV landscape with never-before-seen production technology. Sanctuary is the first series to be shot extensively on green screen, using virtual sets and extraordinary visual effects.

The HD files, artwork and metadata were delivered to the platform this month and will be available in early November.

Richard Herring’s critically acclaimed ‘Hitler Moustache’ has just hit iTunes and is in the top 10 programmes on the site for this month.

The critically acclaimed show sees Herring attempt to reclaim the toothbrush moustache ‘for comedy’ by seeing how people respond to the contentious face furniture as it is growing out of his face.

The show that examines iconography, the way we judge and are judged, the dangers of political apathy, the point where comedy and madness touch and the very ethics of such a comedy stunt. Is it worth Herring upsetting strangers, risking physical and psychological damage and ruining his parent’s Golden Wedding photos for the sake of a stand up show? You can  buy  the show here.

Further moustache news this month sees our friends Stephen Joy and Jacob Taylor  from eOne taking part in ‘Movember’ the annual moustache-grow in aid of prostate cancer awareness.

It’s a great cause – you can support their efforts on  the  Movember website .
