The King's Speech DVD released today

In honour of the release of The King's Speech DVD today (a perfect gift for Easter Bunnies everywhere) I found a great little piece on "The Real King's Speech" on You Tube. I also found the historic recording of the actual King George VI giving his famous address for those who would like to hear the actual radio broadcast. Happy Easter and if the old hopper doesn't bring this to you, go and get it yourself. What a great film to watch with your family (assuming they are old enough to hear some swearing in a very funny context).

Here is Colin Firth with the mini documentary:




And here is the Queen's father himself with the historic radio address:



I hope there are lots of extras on the DVD! Have a wonderful weekend to all of my Jane Austen Film Club friends. I'll be showing this to both of my teenage boys this weekend. Great family time!
