King Solomon's Mines, the Wisdom of Solomon, Solomon and 'The Queen of Sheba came to Jerusalem ... with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones'

Sheba - the name of the famous King rings down the centuries in a variety of guises. But the name appears only in the pages of the Bible (Kings and Chronicles). Tonight we visit the Bible Lands in search of Solomon and his brilliant allies, inventors of alphabetic writing-the Phoenicians. Bible reader Eric Porter

An Inaugural Eve Gala Performance
On the day when the new American President has his first official meeting in Washington with our own Prime Minister, we look back to the eve of President Carter's inauguration, when a glittering cast of top American artists gathered at the Kennedy Center, Washington, for a gala concert in his honour. It was an event which, as veteran actress Bette Davis said, seemed to reflect a new spirit in America - young, buoyant and full of enthusiasm and optimism.
The artists taking part include Jack Albertson, Muhammad Ali, Alvin Ailey Dance Theatre, Warren Beatty, Leonard Bernstein and the National Symphony Orchestra Bette Davis, James Dickey
Redd Foxx, Aretha Franklin
Loretta Lynn, Shirley MacLaine, Elaine May, Mike Nichols
Paul Newman, Jack Nicholson
Freddie Prinze, Linda Rondstadt, Beverly Sills, Paul Simon
Jean Stapleton, John Wayne and Joanne Woodward
