The Cat - Its Magic and Mystery

on BBC Two England

with Fenella Fielding and Denholm Elliott

The cat has been branded and cosseted, worshipped and cursed across the years. As an Egyptian Deity, medieval demon and modern sybarite she has constantly intrigued and mystified her admirers. She's inspired poetry and prose ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous and almost as varied as the cat herself ... Ravel, Rossini and Tchaikovsky have composed memorable cat-music, and artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Ronald Searle have sought to capture her magic. But the cat remains elusive, and will doubtless continue to defy definition for the next 2,000 years.
(Fenella Fielding is in "Absurd Person Singular" at the Vaudeville Theatre, London)
