Synopsis:
Lawrence of Arabia - T.E. Lawrence was probably one of the greatest adventurers of the Great War and was immortalised in film by Peter O'Toole. But what was the true story behind this man who helped liberate the Arabs from the Turks? This documentary contains rare footage of Lawrence of Arabia riding with King Faisal at their triumphant arrival into Damascus.
The Elusive Treasure - Howard Carter had searched for nearly twenty years to locate Tutankhamen's tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Undeterred by the Great War and the ancient Egyptian curse, he finally discovered the tomb in 1922, with the royal seal still intact. This was the greatest archaeological find of the century and new footage of the discovery has been unearthed. The curious events and deaths that were to follow the tomb's opening are also recaptured. Did the 'Pharaoh's curse' really exist?
Captain Courageous - Danish Captain, Henrik Kurt Carlsen, was given the name of 'Captain Stay-put' by the press in 1952, when his ship, The Flying Enterprise, rolled on her side and couldn't right itself. Making sure that the passengers were taken off, he stayed on board his ship as rescue efforts to tow him into Falmouth failed. Captain Carlsen only jumped off the ship at the last moment before it sank and was rescued by the Turmoil.
