The programme also meets the colourful characters who run the Lord Chancellor's office, including the private secretary able to gauge his boss's moods and a former heating engineer who is now the purse bearer.

The lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt, erected in the third century BC, was regarded as the seventh wonder of the ancient world. An ancestor of modern skyscrapers, it was 400 feet high, had 300 rooms, and alerted shipping with a lantern visible for more than 40 miles.
Until recently it was assumed to be lost forever, a casualty of earthquakes and landslides. But last year it was unearthed in the Bay of Alexandria. Underwater footage captures the archaeologists' discovery, including a vital dive undertaken by Egyptologist Honor Frost at the tender age of 75.
