A look ahead to some BBC Further Education series for 1969-70
Introduced by Barry Turner

Perhaps you would like to learn a foreign language, improve your maths, or train to be an engineer. The BBC's plans for educational programmes on radio and television in 1969-70 will include these and many other subjects.
In half an hour it is only possible to give you a hint of what will be available, so the producer decided to concentrate on those educational series which are linked with correspondence courses or publications, or additional audio-visual aids, and could be used in various Further Education courses.

A weekly look at animals
with Charles Coles, Liz Jay and David Cabot

Owls for Export
Eagle owls are being bred in this country by Philip Wayre and sent to Sweden to replenish the stocks in the wild.

Hungry Hamsters
Pet golden hamsters could become something of a pest.

Musk-Ox
A new economic resource for the Arctic may emerge from domesticating these curious beasts. Swedish cameraman Lars Aby has filmed Musk-Oxen in Northern Europe and in Canada, where already they are being ranched.

Old-Time Music-Hall from the stage of the Famous City Varieties Theatre, Leeds (By arrangement with Stanley and Michael Joseph)

Presenting Tessie O'Shea, Kenny Cantor, Leslie Sarony, Wally Boag, The Ruwills, Brian Andro, The Trio Charly Ross
Chairman, Leonard Sachs

There has never been anyone quite like Tessie O'Shea, who makes her first appearance in The Good Old Days. She is a natural for this show and captures the flavour of the period with a skilfully devised medley of songs.
Now in her fifties, Tessie O'Shea no longer moves the scales to seventeen stone three pounds, and has even jokingly referred to herself as Twiggy O'Shea.
She is on a strict diet, but has to make sure she does not lose too much weight or her image would be damaged.
Tessie has come a long way since she first appeared at the Bristol Hippodrome at the age of ten. Today she divides her time between Britain and America.
On Broadway in 1963 she stopped the show with her performance in Noel Coward's "The Girl Who Came to Dinner."
One critic wrote: "She lifts the roof off Broadway." The show won her several awards for the most outstanding performance in musicals on the Broadway stage.
Tessie's talent takes another form. In New Orleans a couple of years ago she played the Nurse in "Romeo and Juliet." The Times said she was excellent in the part and continued: "It was a bustling, motherly performance overflowing with humanity, and not unexpectedly Miss O'Shea handled the bawdy with vigour and enthusiasm."

by Nigel Kneale
With Clive Revill as Walter Trapnell, Pauline Delany as May Trapnell and Robert Powell as Arkie

A sleepy south-coast town out of season. Walter Trapnell, an elderly wages clerk, is the life and soul of the local pub. Arkie, Scanlan, and Clem are three youths living in a dream world of violence, cowboys, and Batman. They enact a comic strip sequence and Walter Trapnell is very much a victim for real. They snatch his wages, knock him down, badly injure him. They are delighted - except for Arkie. He gradually becomes obsessed by Walter's recovery. He is determined, though not quite sure how, to redeem the damage he has inflicted.
