An award-winning natural history of the Wild West
Narrated by Barry Paine 3: The Price of Gold
Gold, oil, fertile soil, sun, spectacular scenery. Few places on earth are as lavishly endowed with natural riches as the State of California.
For the Indians of the North West there was bountiful food and shelter. For the forty-niners the gold was worth 81 million dollars a year. But every time the Pacific 'plate' of the earth's crust jerks past the continent there is an earthquake. This is the price Californians pay for their gold. This episode shows both the causes and the probable site of the next great earthquake on the San Andreas fault.

This summer more than a million people have crammed into six of England's most famous football grounds - yet not a match has been played. They came to hear Billy Graham, the 20th-century's most famous evangelist, each sermon ending with his customary invitation to commitment. Once again, as in his first British campaign at Harringay 30 years ago, people streamed forward from the stands.

These meetings mark the climax of Mission England, a three-year campaign. Paul MacDowell joined the crowds at Villa Park in Birmingham for tonight's programme. Before Billy Graham speaks, Cliff Barrows introduces the local choir of 1,400 who lead the singing, together with soloists Myrtle Hall and George Beverly Shea.
