Introduced by David Jones

The Chap with a Good Tale to Tell
The world of all those other 'chaps', Wooster, Jeeves, and Psmith, a prodigious output of very English humour - and it all comes from a small town in the States. P.G. Wodehouse, 90 years old today, with another Jeeves book published this month, looks back on life from his home in Remsenburg, Long Island, USA.
(Wodehouse at 90: Radio 3, 10.20)

A Flavour of Jazz
...but not excluding other things as well - Mike Gibbs, one of the leading jazz/pop composers working in Britain today. He's written the current title music for Review, and tonight he appears for the first time on television with a new work specially arranged for the programme - with movement, pictures, film and The Mike Gibbs Band.

How They Swished and Rustled
'...parasols to match every dress, enormous flopping feathered hats...' A fashion show at the Victoria and Albert Museum, selected by Cecil Beaton, the famous photographer and designer - and a look with him at what they wore from 1900 to today.
