The first episode in a new production for BBC Television

Young Jim Hawkins never forgot the day that Billy Bones came to The Admiral Benbow looking for quiet lodgings. He paid Jim to keep a look-out for a one-legged sailor in particular. That seaman never came, but Black Dog did. Then on the day that Jim's father died, a blind beggar called Pew tapped his way to The Admiral Benbow, and gave Billy Bones the 'Black Spot'.

The Great Stars of yesterday and today in a season of their most memorable films
[Starring] Charles Laughton, Henry Fonda
with Franchot Tone, Don Murray, Lew Ayres, Walter Pidgeon, Gene Tierney

A seasoned old senator uses all his powers to prevent the President appointing a controversial Secretary of State.
In this powerful political drama a number of stars give memorable performances. Charles Laughton's portrayal of Seab Cooley, a 'dyed-in-the-wool' conservative, is one of the best characterisations in his career; Henry Fonda gives his usual controlled performance, and Walter Pidgeon manages to control the proceedings like a gentle but authoritative headmaster.
