Author Topic: The Royal wedding on DVD Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 05-28-2011 10:53 PM                        For some reason I was not able to watch the HD BBC telecast of the wedding of HRH, Prince William & Kate Middleton last month and in a way I am glad I did not. The broadcast was over five hours long but the DVD of the event which was just released early last week was condensed to two hours. I watched it last night after purchasing the disc for about five dollars at Best Buy and enjoyed it very much. Although it was only a DVD, the picture quality was so outstanding there were times when I felt I was watching it on a Blu-Ray disc in all of it's high definition glory! With over seventy high definition cameras positioned along the streets of London , Westminster Abbey & Buckingham Palace , the videography was awesome. I was especially impressed with the wedding coverage itself and almost felt I was there. Having visited the Abbey during my trip to London in early 2008, I know how immense the Abby is and BBC did a excellent job with their coverage there -.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 07-31-2011 05:26 PM                        quote: Claude S.

You mean they cut out the bits where Her Maj's corgis bit the archbishop's ankle, Prince Philip had a few G & Ts too many and called a visiting dignitary a pot-bellied something-or-other and then Fergie gate-crashed the reception? I don't know - BBC censorship just gets worse and worse ...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-31-2011 06:04 PM                        They probably cut out all of the rampant nudity and also that one part where Prince Harry beheaded a man.  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi.
