Dr. Who starts today a new adventure in space and time
Starring Patrick Troughton as Dr. Who
with Emrys Jones
and Frazer Hines, Wendy Padbury

The Tardis is in the path of molten lava and reluctantly the Doctor moves it, not only out of time and space, but also out of reality. The Doctor's explanation that they are 'nowhere' doesn't satisfy Zoe, but he warns her that on no account should she make any attempt to leave the ship.
Then Jamie sees on the scanner a picture of his Highland home. Zoe cannot see it. What she does see though is her home.
The Tardis crew have stumbled into a world where fiction appears as reality, where things exist only when men believe in them.
It is a world peopled with a race of monsters, the White Robots, with monsters from legend - the unicorn, the Minotaur, and the snakehaired Medusa. And with characters from fiction too, Gulliver, Rapunzel, D'Artagnan, Sir Lancelot, Cyrano de Bergerac (right, played by David Cannon)...

Starring The Mitchell Minstrels
with John Boulter, Dai Francis, Tony Mercer.
Also starring Margaret Savage, The Television Toppers, Delia Wicks, Don Cleaver, Penny Jewkes, Les Rawlings, Sheila Bernette, Ken Morris, David Toguri.

(Leslie Crowther is appearing in "Let Sleeping Wives Lie" at the Garrick Theatre, London; The Black and White Minstrel Show is appearing at the Victoria Palace, London, and at the Futurist Theatre, Scarborough)

The opening sequence of the show this week has a distinctly Japanese flavour. Then the many charms of the Toppers will be very much on display in a Bathing Beauty routine. In their weekly spot the Minstrels, conducted as ever by George Mitchell, will sing the beautiful Gilbert Becaud song "What now, my love." They then demonstrate their ornithological interests in a series of songs about our feathered friends, and the finale presents a good old Dixie medley.

BBC Symphony Orchestra
Led by Hugh Maguire
Conductor, Colin Davis
Sybil Michelow, contralto

Introduced by Richard Baker.

This occasion is steeped in tradition, which is very jealously guarded by the enthusiastic Promenaders. But this year sees two 'firsts'. Although Colin Davis stepped in for Sir Malcolm Sargent last year, this is his first official 'Last Night.' And South African - born contralto Sybil Michelow makes her 'Last Night' debut as the soloist in 'Rule, Britannia.'
