This film tells the extraordinary story of Victor Grayson , Socialist MP for Colne Valley from 1907 to 1910. He was a political
Phenomenon and many saw him as a future Prime Minister. Yet his
Parliamentary career lasted Just three years.
Grayson's claim to fame lies in his mysterious disappearance from public and private life. On 17
September 1920, accompanied by two men, he walked out of his fashionable London flat.
Friends and family never saw him again. Nobody appears to know why or where he went. A recent biography of Grayson by David Clark , MP reveals new evidence which answers some of the questions which have remained unanswered for over 60 years.

Durham, Durham
In the last programme in this series, Alec Clifton-Taylor steps inside Durham
Cathedral where the 12th-century vaults have remained unscathed for eight-and-a-half centuries. With his absence of vertigo, he climbs to unlock the secrets of this 'finest
Romanesque building in the world'. The houses in the Cathedral's shadow receive equal scrutiny. Alec Clifton -Taylor died in April. Durham provides the most fitting of memorials. 'Make no mistake if, like me, you're hooked on buildings, you'll never come to the end of England.'
