The first of three programmes

Henry Lincoln investigates the story of a young American artist, Joseph Lindon Smith, who in 1909 presented a ritual play in the Valley of the Queens for the entertainment of a group of archaeologists working on the west bank of the Nile.
The ritual was to be performed in an endeavour to lift a curse placed upon the Pharaoh Akhenaton in 1354 BC.

The final rehearsal was brought to an unexpected and dramatic end; a mysterious happening which caused all the players to question the supernatural power of the gods of ancient Egypt.

A series of eight programmes.
Cl landing in Strangeways is a place where inmates are labelled by their fellow prisoners as 'beasts'. They are mainly sex offenders. On entering prison these men are advised to apply for Rule 43A - segregation for their own protection. For if they are put in the main prison other inmates will take the law into their own hands. On this landing there are also informers, tobacco barons and others who fear revenge from fellow inmates. But to the cons, everyone on Cl is a 'beast'.
In this programme we hear about life on Cl from the men who are even rejected by other prisoners. And we witness the particular tensions of living three to a cell when two of the men are gay and the third is not.
