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:

And he shoots down dead the arithmetic bird.
