- Directed by Marc Sinden and produced by Jo Gilbert, Great West End Theatres is an enjoyable, informed and informative stroll around London's famed Theatreland in the company of the celebrated and much loved Sir Donald Sinden CBE. The individual episodes (one per All Region DVD) vary in length, between 42 minutes and 80 minutes and feature in-depth interviews with some of the biggest names in British theatre. Sir Ian McKellen, Steven Berkoff, Sir Cameron Mackintosh, Martin Shaw, Michael Ball and Simon Callow are just a few of the stars who, through a fund of amusing stories and vivid anecdotes, demonstrate their deep affection for the great theatres of London. Great West End Theatres is the first series of its kind to document all 40 of London's theatres and is available on individual All Region DVDs. A carefully researched and well-written history of the best London has to offer, it is also a backstage pass onto the finest stages in the world.
- Full of sex and fury, east is a sharp, affectionate and funny expose of life in London's East End. With its uncompromising physical performance style and its rich poetic language veering from Shakespearean parody to the shatteringly profane, it is a rollercoaster of gripping theatricality, teeming with both visual and verbal exuberance. Steven Berkoff directs a superb ensemble company in the 25th Anniversary production filmed during its sell-out run at the Vaudeville Theatre in London's West End.

In his own inimitable style, Sir Donald had the invited audience in hysterics as he let slip exactly what happened when Marilyn Monroe came knocking on his dressing room door, reveals which acting great crashed the ship in The Cruel Sea and how bad Clark Gable was at sharing cigarettes!
