1, Hampton Court
Written by L. du Garde Peach
Produced by H. Rooney Pelletier
Cast
Other parts played by Audrey Cameron , Margaret Watson ,
Stephen Jack , David Miller , John Valentine
This is the first of a series of four programmes in which the stories of some of England's most famous royal palaces will be told. Subsequent broadcasts will probably deal with Saint James's Palace, Kensington Palace, and Buckingham Palace.
Hampton Court, that lovely Tudor pile on the Thames, has a history that goes back to Anglo-Saxon times, though it is its associations with the Tudor period that most stir the heart of the average Englishman.

' Crashing Cars for Films '
Reg Kavanagh
Reg Kavanagh has had an adventurous life. He ran away from school at the age of twelve, travelling to Australia, Honolulu, and the U.S.A. In Australia he took over a racing car when the driver had been killed, and did a sensational double-somersault crash. The manager of the track asked him if he could do it again on purpose, and a short while later he decided to crash cars for a living, and started his famous ' Film Crash Squad '.
