Life and Death in Ancient Egypt
The average ancient Egyptian - what did he expect from life? What were his clothes and food? What illnesses did he suffer and die from? Four thousand years later, how do you find out?
Chronicle, six years ago, filmed Dr Rosalie David and her team as they unwrapped an Egyptian mummy. Now their researches have extended to the rest of the Manchester Museum collection and beyond to Egypt itself. In a skull-filled hut in the shadow of the Pyramids, dentist Frank Leek , who once examined the teeth of Tutankhamun, investigates the problem of pharaonic toothache.
In previously unfilmed tombs at Giza, and in the workmen's village of Deir el-Medina near the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, DR david analyses the wall paintings of scenes of everyday life and discovers that tools and artefacts and the techniques of ploughing and spinning are still in use in the Fayoum oasis today.
Back in Manchester, pottery and metal objects are subject to multielement analysis using a nuclear reactor to determine their date and composition; radiologists try to establish the age and cause of death of a young mummified child and Dr Eddie Tapp , Consultant Histo-Pathologist, diagnoses the illnesses of a Priestess of Amon by use of an industrial endoscope to look inside the mummy's lungs and brain. By using these most up-to-date scientific techniques the team are discovering both the pleasant and the not-so-pleasant realities of life and death in Ancient Egypt. Film cameraman GODFREY JOHNSON

The last of six films on the noble families of Europe.
Germany: Prince Johannes von Thurn und Taxis
The formidable Prince Johannes, business tycoon, reformed playboy and zealous protector of the family line, is also the largest landowner in West Germany. He gave up a rakish private life three years ago to marry a girl 34 years his junior, the vivacious Princess Gloria.
Despite his gilded lifestyle - he is attended by footmen in powdered wigs in a 500-roomed palace-the Prince is a mysterious, sardonic figure. As the head of a powerful business empire he has made enemies: that's why he rides between his 11 palaces at 100 mph in a bullet-proof car.
ROBERT LACEY asks how PRINCE JOHANNES will keep up the traditions of a family that made its fortune as postmen to the Holy Roman Empire. The new PRINCESS VON THURN UND TAXIS Speaks frankly about life. And will they be able to produce a son and heir to keep the line going?
