A profile in three parts 1: Settler
Moshe Dayan, the General with the eyepatch who came to symbolise the fighting spirit of modern Israel, died suddenly last October. His was a remarkable story. Soldier, farmer, politician and amateur archaeologist in turn, he was to experience immense disappointments and ultimate triumph. In the first of three films, completed only months before his death, he describes the hardships facing the men and women who first returned 100 years ago to settle areas of Palestine for the Jewish people, and explains how their experiences echoed stories of the Bible he first heard as a child.

The Father of Pots
Sir Flinders Petrie 1851-1942 with Jeremy Clyde reading Petrie's journals
In 1880 Flinders Petrie carried out the first thorough survey of the Pyramids. His aim was to test the current theory that the Great Pyramid was divinely inspired. While disproving the theory, he became aware of the wholesale plundering of the ancient monuments of Egypt. He determined that something should be done and joined the newly-formed Egypt Exploration Fund to introduce proper scientific excavation. Nobody before him had recognised the significance of the small things, the potsherds and everyday domestic objects. Here, he saw, lay the true history of a country. For 70 years Petrie devoted himself passionately and untiringly to the study of the civilisations of Egypt and Palestine, laying the foundations of their archaeology.
