Diamonds in the sky is a BBC documentary series about the history of civil aviation. 1979 is the 60th anniversary of the first scheduled, daily, international flight which took place on August 25th, 1919 from London to Paris.
The seven programmes are presented by Julian Pettifer and look at the impact of the aeroplane on people's lives everywhere.
The theme music by Richard Denton and Martin Cook is the latest in a long line of successful compositions; the most notable being the theme from "The Hong Kong beat" which was a chart entry last year. |
