This Is the BBC
An impression of twenty-four hours in the life of the British Broadcasting Corporation
From the archive
The People of Paradise - Episode 2 - David Attenborough encounters a peculiar cult group, while surveying the New Hebrides as part of his expedition to the South West Pacific. In Tanna, David interviews members of the John Frum cargo cult. The group's members take an unusual interest in radio signalling equipment, and they build intricate scarlet gates and crosses throughout the island and across the hazardous volcanic plains.
