The second of three films starring the 'King' of Hollywood
[Starring] Clark Gable
with Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly

Jungle adventure at its most exciting and one of the King's greatest post-war successes, Mogambo also gains from the lively handling of veteran director John Ford.

One hundred years ago a dream became a reality - born out of the profits of the 1851 Exhibition - inspired by the memory of the Prince Consort - realised in iron and stone and terra-cotta, The Royal Albert Hall of Arts and Sciences
The centre of an expanding, optimistic Victorian universe. Here under one roof would be a meeting place for all the skills - music, painting and (for where had the money come from?) the manufacturing industries as well.
With such lofty and worthy ambitions the hall was doomed to success. This programme, recorded at the Royal Albert Hall, recounts the personalities and events that have led to that success.

Take two girls - Esther Rantzen and Harriet Crawley with questions to ask.
Add one guest - with a name, a reputation or an idea - who's prepared to answer.
