Dress design and the world of high fashion have a glamour that rouses a primitive excitement in almost all women. For old Madame Alice in her nearly-deserted salon the great days had passed long before 1938 when this story begins. But for Martha Watkins the great days must be now, and she sees opportunity within her grasp...
Among the supporting cast Kay Kendall etches a bitchy portrait of one of the salon's customers, and Bill Travers is glimpsed briefly as a photographer.

On the evening of Sunday 26 January 1749 the people of Hastings rushed to the shore to see the Amsterdam, a fully laden merchant ship on its maiden trip to Java with 350 people on board, stranded on the beach after a period of terrible storms. Despite the 'help' of a thousand plunderers, the ship sank from view in less than a week.
Since that time, for a few brief hours each year the lowest tides reveal its outline. Eighteen months ago modern equipment brought the Amsterdam back to public attention.
Tonight for the first time Chronicle tells the full story of this historic treasure ship, and the scientific excavation and research which is bringing her back to life.

Felicity Kendal reads "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant
One small twist of fate can bring triumph or ruin. The price of one evening's happiness may be years of misery. If Mathilde had not been so vain; if there had been no party at the Ministry; if she had been content to wear flowers rather than jewels... then chance could not have struck her such a cruel blow.

The story of a young singer's rise to fame and his efforts to free himself from underworld ties.
Meet Danny Wilson - full of old favourites like 'All of me,' 'How deep is the ocean,' 'She's funny that way,' and 'That old black magic' - is a fitting tribute, on the eve of his retirement, to the singer who has gladdened many hearts.
