Show detail Hide detail

Rex Murphy, on piano, with Alison Gordon and Jim Robertson perform the opening skit which introduces the topic - Gold. Rob Parker gives a brief review of the week's events and the program gets under way with a song from Perry Friedman, "The Trail of '74". With the rise in gold prices the Klondike is once again the scene of activity as prospectors take up where the "old timers" left off. History is blended with the present as black and white contemporary footage is interspersed with film showing social life in Dawson City and panning and excavating permafrost for gold in Yukon areas such as Bonanza Creek.~Alan Vennis tells about a Yukon expedition he led and brothers John and Peter Erickson, New Zealanders, describe their methods and motivation as they make a living from the gold deposits remaining in the Yukon hills and creeks. Finds of fossils sold to museums help defray expenses, says John Erickson.~Rex Murphy contributes a humourous rhyme about gold and Shirley Eikhard concludes the program with the song "Gold is the Colour".~Producer John Kastner pokes fun at human gullibility with amusing candid-camera street interviews in Vancouver on the subject of non-existent silver fish. Host Rob Parker and Alison Gordon, dressed in her klondike saloon gown, conclude the program with references to the UP CANADA "Mounty Joke contest". Rex Murphy, on the piano, plays the program out with theme tune. <30mn>
