Factual: Animal Hospital: Rolf's Birthday Special 8.00pm BBC1
On the eve of Rolf Harris's 70th birthday, Animal Hospital celebrates the presenter's extensive career with a special programme. Tessa Bailey from the RSPCA's Putney animal hospital and David Grant from their Harmsworth hospital talk about working with him over the past few years and there is extensive archive footage of his television career including a performance of his mammoth hit Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport. But the programme doesn't just concern itself with the past as we see Rolf recording an R 'n' B version of the classic song How Much Is That Doggy in the Window? with girl band Fierce. (JR)
