Full House

on BBC Two England

An entertainment for Saturday, presenting a live mixture of music, plays, poetry, prose, comedy, films, the visual arts-and a few surprises.
Introduced by Joe Melia with a little help from Henry Woolf, Jane Wood, Dave Hill and from the studio audience.

Among the main events are:

Charles Causley
When teacher talks he won't hear a word
And he shoots down dead the arithmetic bird.
The Cornish poet, who often takes children's songs and rhymes as the model for his poems, reading - and singing - some of his work.

9.25* Cantores in Ecclesia conducted by Michael Howard sing Vaughan Williams' Three Shakespeare Songs:
'Over Hill, Over Dale'
'Cloud Capp'd Towers'
'Full Fathom Five

9.35* Two Gallants
A film adaptation of a story from "The Dubliners", the first book published by James Joyce
with Derry Power as Lenehan, Donal McCann as Corley

10.5* Stuart Brisley, artist, creates an event for Full House, involving the studio audience.

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet
featuring one of America's leading alto saxophonists, together with his brother Nat (trumpet), Walter Booker (bass), George MacDuke (piano) and Roy McCurdy Jr (drums)

10.35* Juvenilia
by E.A. Whitehead
with Maurice Denham as the Teacher, David Troughton as Anthony
The second of three plays written specially for Full House, exploring the relationships of a student with his teachers in the course of his education - in tonight's play, with his English master.

Plus sketches by Adrian Mitchell, cartoon films - including some lessons in 'The Fine Art of Goofing Off' - and whatever else turns up.
