Starring Robert Donat as William Friese-Greene, Margaret Johnston as Edith Friese-Greene, Maria Schell as Helena Friese-Greene, Richard Attenborough as Jack Carter, Laurence Olivier as PC 94B, Peter Ustinov as Industry Man

This film biography of William Friese-Greene, the British pioneer of the cinema, was the film industry's chief contribution to the Festival of Britain in 1951. Made at Elstree Studios - this year celebrating its own 50th anniversary - it features a fine performance from Robert Donat in the central role, a delightful, scene-stealing cameo from Laurence Olivier as an astonished Cockney copper, and one of the most distinguished casts assembled for a British film.

Robert Hardy re-examines the 'Peterloo Massacre'
At approximately 1.30 on the hot summer afternoon of 16 August 1819, the Yeomanry Cavalry of Manchester, sabres in hand, charged a crowd of 60,000 in St Peter 's Fields, Manchester, and trampled and cut down the people. Eleven were killed and 400 injured - men, women and children. In this fateful five minutes England reached one of those dangerous corners in the long road that led towards the establishment of those freedoms that we now perhaps take too much for granted.
Massacre is an alarming and perhaps too simple a word for a very confused affair. This confusion, involving the highest and lowest in the land, and the events and tensions that led to the agony of 'Peterloo', are examined through the words of contemporary witnesses and participants.

Now 86 years young and still flying high, he relives those days in the skies over the Western Front and Mesopotamia and once again the ' fabric and wire' Farmans and Bleriots, BEs and Bristol fighters perform their aerial ballets.

The second in a season of some of Frank Sinatra 's most successful movies tonight also starring
Mitzi Gaynor , Jeanne Crain with Eddie Albert
In America's tough Prohibition era, singer Joe E. Lewis is just beginning to make a name for himself when an encounter with a former employer's strongarm squad threatens to end his career. Years later, Lewis sets out once more on the long struggle to reach the top-this time as a night-club comedian.
Frank Sinatra gives a much acclaimed dramatic performance but also sings such well-known numbers as ' All the way', I cried for you' and ' If I could be with you'.
