Who Got Diana Dors' Millions (2003x10)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Ağu 13, 2003

Diana Dors was adored by the British public. A star of the silver screen for nearly forty years, the woman once dubbed the 'English Marilyn Monroe' was a larger than life character who seemed to have it all – fame, riches, beauty. When she died in 1984 her estate was worth only £200,000, a seemingly small sum for someone who had been successful for so long, yet her eldest son, Mark Dawson, had reason to believe that there was a lot more money to be found. 18 months before her death, Diana had given her son an envelope containing a sheet of code. A code that she said would lead Dawson to a sum of £2,000,000 that she had hidden away in bank accounts and safety deposit boxes across Britain. Diana Dors also told her son that her third husband, Alan Lake, had the key to the code but when he committed suicide just five months after Dors died, it looked as though the location of her millions would be lost for good. Only now, 20 years later, has Mark Dawson begun to unravel the mystery of his mother�s secret fortune but, as he travels from his Los Angeles home to the UK, will he be able to crack the code and find out where the money lies?
