The Lively Arts: Kelly

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

With Geordie pop-star Alan Price
During the week of the Queen's Jubilee visit to Tyneside last July, Alan Price returned to Jarrow, his home town, to celebrate the event. There, accompanied by his own band and music director, he got together with a local writer, choir, drama group, folk singer and jazz group, to tell in drama and song the heroic story of the Tyneside-built warship HMS Kelly, whose captain was Lord Louis Mountbatten.
The film observes the preparation for the show, and looks at the reasons why the Kelly's story remains a legend on Tyneside.
