Assault on Everest (1933)
'One of the grandest sights imaginable' - such was an eye-witness description of the 1933 expedition's first glimpse of Mount Everest. But this was only one of many historic moments the expedition managed to capture on film: pictures which make up a unique photographic record.
The story starts with the arrival of the pith-helmeted sahibs in Bombay. Later the expedition came to mountain monasteries - 'the highest pinnacles of enchantment'. Then there was the attempt on the summit. 'On Everest it is an effort to think, almost too much of an effort to live.'
Finally the party was forced down by ice, storm and exhaustion, barely 1,000 feet from the top.
The whole epic endeavour is brought back to life in this, the last of six historic films of early exploration.

For the last programme in the present series William Woollard and the Top Gear team look back at highlights from the past year and forward to motoring in 1985. Chris Goffey tries out the Audi 200 Quattro Turbo to see if it matches up to claims that it's destined to become one of the world's great cars. And in a year when figures showed that one in three drivers is now a woman, Sue Baker reports on their move into another important area of motoring; while Frank Page recalls MG's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

December, 1926. A new mystery thriller, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by a relatively new writer, Agatha Christie , is the toast of literary
London. But Mrs Christie 's personal life is in ruins. Her husband wants a divorce so that he can marry his secretary. Suddenly and mysteriously,
Agatha Christie disappears. What may have happened during the next 11 days is as suspenseful as anything she wrote.
