Full House

on BBC Two England

A live entertainment for Saturday, presenting a mixture of music, plays, poetry, prose, comedy, films, the visual arts - and a few surprises.
Introduced by Joe Melia with a little help from Eric Idle and Henry Woolf and from the studio audience. Among the events are:

Piccadilly
Since medieval times there has always been a roadway running west out of London along what is now known as Piccadilly. In the reign of King James I, the local authorities found it necessary to clear out the ditches and lop the hedges because thieves and harlots sheltered there to the destruction of the king's subjects.
Today - 350 years later - what does Piccadilly mean to the citizens of London? Do we want it changed, and if so, how? What sort of participation should we all demand in planning decisions which affect the cities and towns in which we live?
The story of Piccadilly told with sketches, songs - and in discussion with some of the people who live and work there, some of the people passing through, and representatives of the Westminster City Council.
