An exciting new series of film stories starring Dane Clark, George Brent and Mercedes McCambridge as reporters with the Trans Globe News Agency.

This week Kate Wells, played by Mercedes McCambridge, sends in a dramatic report from a small mid-western town which is the scene of a uranium strike. The prospect of sudden wealth creates its own problems-not only for the person who stands to gain most from it.

by Jane Austen.
Adapted for television in six weekly instalments by Cedric Wallis.
[Starring] Alan Badel with Marian Spencer, William Squire, Jane Downs, Hugh Sinclair

Mr. Charles Bingley, the new tenant of Netherfield Park, Hertfordshire, is much sought after by the neighbouring families of marriageable daughters. Jane, the eldest of the four daughters of Mr. Bennet and Mrs. Bennet, of Longbourne, attracts his chief attention at the Assembly Hall. His arrogant friend, Mr. Darcy, however, in spite of an even more handsome appearance, and an even larger fortune, creates an unfavourable impression, especially on Miss Elizabeth Bennet, a young lady of considerable spirit.

Alan Villiers discusses Tankers with Captain Kenneth Morris.
Today about one quarter of the world's merchant shipping tonnage consists of tankers, many of them between 20,000 and 45,000 tons capacity, costing more than £2,000,000 each.
Very recently, a few tankers of more than 100,000 tons capacity have been ordered-a far cry from 1861, when the first cargo of oil was carried across the Atlantic in barrels by a 224-ton brig. Tonight Alan Villiers and Captain Morris, who commands a tanker, discuss the extraordinary history and development of these ships, and some of the hazards they face in war and peace.
