"Over eighty years ago the most spectacular treasure ever found in Britain was uncovered at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk - the golden royal regalia of the first kings of England, and the ship in which a monarch was buried in AD 630. But who built the ship, where and why? In the 80s the BBC made a two part documentary about Sutton Hoo produced by Ray Sutcliffe. The first part largely is made up of the the 1965 documentary The Million Pound Grave - on the excavation in 1939 of a site at Sutton Hoo which revealed half of a seventh century Anglo Saxon warship filled with treasure. Written and produced by Paul Johnstone, and using telerecording of an 8mm film made in 1939, with maps and stills."
