A Place for God on Earth
King Philip II of Spain conceived the idea of the gigantic building that still dominates the landscape of the Guadarrama mountains near Madrid. He supervised its construction down to the smallest detail. It was his obsession. It was to be a palace, a monastery, a burial place for kings and queens, a treasure-house of paintings, sculptures, manuscripts and books, and in its very centre it was to have a mighty basilica church.
In 1582 the basilica church of this vast complex was completed and the great cross installed on the dome. A grand Te Deum was sung to celebrate the completion of the church and the installation of the last of the art treasures that Philip had commissioned or collected from all over Europe. Few buildings in the world can tell us more about their founder than this one.
Nicholas Baum takes us round the building and tells its story.
Hugh Casson talks about how the building was constructed.
Hugh Trevor-Roper tells us how Philip II came to collect some of the great masterpieces in the Escorial.

This Welsh National Opera production was recorded in the New Theatre, Cardiff.
The opera, set in a small village on the banks of the Volga, tells the story of a love affair between Katya, a married woman, and Boris, a young man come from Moscow. The reactions of her family and neighbours make a compelling and tragic study of human frailty.

The Wreck of the Mary Rose
Since the spring of 1982, The
Mary Rose Trust has worked flat out, under the sea and in the office, to plan, to raise the money for, and to achieve an almost impossible object - the recovery from the silt at the bottom of The Solent of what remains of the hull of one of King Henry VIII 's favourite battleships.
Chronicle has followed the project since 1971, when only a line of eroded timber frames, uncovered by a freak storm, denoted the site of one of the richest archaeological sites ever found in Great Britain. Tonight's film brings viewers up to date with the project and sets the scene for the live outside broadcast coverage tomorrow morning when the Mary Rose will be seen again above the surface.
