Where do baby turtles disappear for a year after hatching? Why do adult turtles travel thousands of miles from feeding grounds to the tropical beaches where they lay eggs; and how do they find their way under the sea? Sea turtles, unchanged for millions of years, have been a mystery to scientists for centuries.

What Parliament can make. Parliament can unmake ' had been the prophetic comment when Disraeli made Victoria Empress of India in 1887. And so it proved: in August 1947 Parliament ' unmade ' the fourth heir to Victoria's Imperial line, George vi.
As a group captain Peter Townsend served George vi for eight years and was with him during the very period when his Empire was unmade. But Peter Townsend's involvement with the Empire started with his birth in Burma to a family who had served their Emperors for two generations. He traces the evolution of Empire into Commonwealth during the years when he was equerry to the last Emperor. Producer HELEN FRY
