    For me the Sultan's elephant was truly the high of 2006. It was a spectacle that one usually see once in a lifetime, and it just transported you to a real magical world. It was a shame they did not advise when it was on the TV because I would have loved to have relived that magic again. Is there a DVD on sale?

    Watching The Sultan's Elephant was my most magical experience in London last year. I'm 31 but it transported me to the awe a child feels when seeing something seemingly unbelieveable come to life. Truly magnificent - more of this, please! We can all do with a suspension of our habitual cynicism every now and then.
