Alan Whicker dials Singapore 999
Tonight we hit Arab Street
A chicken squawks, a cry of death, a knife flashes and the spouting blood religiously collected cleanses the sins of a dead woman.

The Chinese have many traditions, but in the new city state of Singapore things must change. A multiracial society is not easy to control and in this impression of Singapore, Alan Whicker observes its police force: patrolling its seas for infiltrators; discussing murder and kidnap; raiding opium dens; dealing with secret societies; steering an ancient society towards a newer way of life.

[Starring] Peter Vaughan as Cellini

The Florentine goldsmith and sculptor Cellini (1500-1571), is best known today for his autobiography. In that book he gives a vivid, violent picture of low and high life in Italy at the end of the Renaissance. It is one of literature's great adventure stories. The words in tonight's film are Cellini's own, and they make an unsparing self-portrait of an astonishing human being and artist - murderous, devout, brutal, loyal, hard-working, and brave.
