Remember how in the first episode we heard how the great war hero Lionel Crab slipped into the waters of Portsmouth Harbour,

went on a mysterious diving mission and then vanished, disappeared, was never seen again and became

the subject of an extraordinary cover-up that continues to this day.

We need to fast forward from that moment.

Fast forward two years,

shift the focus to 1958, to London.

In fact, to a very precise location in London.

There's a world famous cinema right in the heart of the city,

the Odean Leicester Square, launch pad of a thousand movies famous for its paparazzi

premieres its lush red carpet its glitz and glitter and star- dripping glamour

it's our own little slice of Celebrity Hollywood. Mary Poppins, you only

live twice and only recently top-gun maverick. If you've got a big budget and a big movie, this is where you launch it.

And so it was in 1958.

It's the most hotly anticipated film of the year and the press are here and the critics are here and the cheering crowds.

And now the stars are also here.

Lawrence Harvey in Tucks and Botard. And now the stars are also here.

Lawrence Harvey in tucks and bow tie, Dawn Adams, all smiles and lipstick and diamonds.

And although the actor's names might not mean much today, these were the superstars of the late 50s.

And they're here for one thing alone, the world premiere of the silent enemy.

It's the biggest showbiz extravaganza in ages,

and it already looks set to be the blockbuster of the year.

Those chariots have altered the naval dallas. year.
