Singapore-One Man's Dream

BBC One
on BBC One London

The BBC1 Documentary Written and narrated by Julian Pettifer
One hundred and fifty-nine years ago when Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles landed on a small swampy island at the foot of the Malay Peninsula, he wrote enthusiastic accounts of the place to his friends in England. He talked of turning it into ' a great commercial emporium and a fulcrum of power in the East.' That island is called Singapore. In this film, JULIAN PETTIFER ShOWS how Raffles's dreams of what SineaDOre might be have been transformed into an exciting reality.
