BBC One
on BBC One London

A selection from the entirely unscripted and unrehearsed sketches recorded on one hectic day in BBC-2's Music International studio

Including: Menotti Renewed; Debussy Rediscovered; Mussorgsky Re-examined; Schubert Revised; Bach Revisited; Interviews with the Eminent Composers (Dr. Strumpfhausen, N.P. Krupchenka and Ovd Ransom Butterfield); Making An Opera on Lady Chatterley's Lover

"Wittily exact and hilarious parody... which should be preserved for the unhappy posterity that will not be able to hear Mr. Peter Ustinov and Mr. Dudley Moore." (The Times)
