The first of eight programmes The Wreck of the Mary Rose
It was a hot day in July 1545. As Henry VIII 's great battleship, the Mary Rose , set sail with the rest of the English fleet, she fired her first broadside, heeled violently to starboard, capsized and sank. All efforts to raise the hull failed. The glutinous mud at the bottom of the Solent held her down, covered her up and, in the end, preserved her. But for more than 400 years the site of the wreck was forgotten and the Mary Rose was believed lost.
Now, in 1980, prior to raising the hull in 1982, the Mary Rose Trust are conducting the largest exercise in underwater archaeology that Great Britain has ever seen.
Chronicle cameras were with the divers when the site was first yielding its secrets, ten years ago. Now Chronicle brings you the story of the ship, the men who went down with her and an up-to-date report on the people who are excavating the site.

The first of eight programmes Avital Shcharansky
Next Year in Jerusalem
On the evening of Friday 4 July 1974 Avital Shcharansky got married in a ceremony in a Moscow apartment. Early the next morning her new husband, Anatoly, waved goodbye at Moscow Airport as she left for Israel. She has not seen him since.
At first he was refused a visa, then he was arrested, tried and sentenced to 13 years' imprisonment. It will be another ten years before he can leave prison - he may never be able to leave Russia. Tonight Avital talks about her life since she left Russia, a life of waiting and campaigning to free her husband and other Jewish refusniks from jail in the USSR.;
