Check local listings for broadcast times in your area.

Marking the November centenary of the birth of longtime MASTERPIECE THEATRE host Alistair Cooke, "The Unseen Alistair Cooke" is a revealing portrait of one of the most celebrated broadcasters of the 20th century. Seen for the first time are extraordinary 8mm home movies shot by Cooke from 1933 onwards, charting his discovery of America, his passions and his relationships with stars such as Paulette Goddard and Charlie Chaplin.
