Joe Moore left Belfast for the Merchant Navy when he was in his teens.
Fourteen years later a chance reunion in a London pub with his childhood sweetheart seems just a fortunate coincidence to Joe. It is, though what neither he nor the other customers in that busy pub realise is that it will be, literally, a matter of life and death.

A true story of discovery with Maurice Roeves as Joseph Thomson
Narrator Tom Fleming With PETER RUMNEY and FINLAY WELSH
Script NICHOLAS BEST
One hundred years ago, on 15 March 1883, Joseph Thomson set off from
Mombasa on one of the last great journeys of African exploration. His route would take him where no white man had ever before set foot, across the uncharted highlands of Kenya to the shores of Lake
Victoria. Thomson, the ultimate Boys' Own hero, survived to tell his remarkable story. It was a story which H. Rider Haggard ruthlessly appropriated as his own and published as King Solomon's Mines.
