starring Fernando Lamas
Arlene Dahl , Gilbert Roland
In his search for a gem to cap the crown of France, Jean Tavernier rescues and falls in love with the beautiful Queen Maya, reluctant bride of the Great Mogul. Jean bargains the secret of hand grenades for a fabulous blue diamond owned by the Mogul, but the power-crazed ruler's treachery results in a furious climactic duel in which two glittering prizes are at stake-the jewel and Maya.
Fernando Lamas stars as the dashing soldier of fortune in this colourful tale of passion and daring set in 17th century India.

A day in the life of WNEW-FM -one of New York's rock 'n' roll radio stations. The camera goes behind the scenes and watches the broadcasters at work. Listen in on the newscaster and sports reporters, the executives planning the station's policies, the assistants gathering in the news and record chart positions and, of course, the DJs who pull the whole thing together; and against the sounds of WNEW: New York at work and play.

Expedition Film Competition
The first of two programmes in which six amateur film teams compete for the Mick Burke Award. This trophy is given by the BBC and the Royal Geographical Society in memory of the BBC cameraman who died on Everest in 1975. The programme is introduced by Paul Heiney and the panel of judges chaired by Clare Francis-now a writer, but herself no stranger to adventure. She is joined by: Julian Pettifer , journalist and television presenter
Dr Marjorie Sweeting of the Royal Geographical Society, and Richard Taylor , a BBC television producer, who has made many films for The World About Us.
They will be selecting the best film made in the summer of 1983, when the six expeditions set out to illustrate their journeys under difficult and sometimes dangerous conditions.
Tonight the first three expeditions travel to:
West Africa, and the River Niger, retracing the route of the 19th-century explorer Mungo Park,
The highlands of Ecuador, to research conservation in the El Cajas National Park, and Northern Kenya, to study the traditional jewellery and decoration of the Turkana people.
Tomorrow the remaining three films will be screened, and the trophy presented to the winning team.
