The life and times of a broadcaster-about-town
Special guest Miriam Karlin with something on her mind:
' I remember when I did Today with Jack. One morning the producer rang to say the show had started and where was I? I was in bed actually ... asleep. Six minutes later I was in the studio - about half a mile away - still in my night-dress. I did the whole show that way. Thank God it wasn'television! '

' I don'kid myself for one moment that this is permanent. On the road probably is more permanent, when it's your own shoes as a house, because at least you know you can stop them whenever you want and point them in any direction.... Real security is In your mind, in your head.' Written and narrated by MICHAEL WALE with contributions from

A special edition of the weekly magazine of the arts devoted to opera - ' that exotick and irrational entertainment '
Introduced by Christopher Cook
What makes Geraint Evans an international star? He celebrates his 25th year at Covent Garden in a new production of Don Pasquale : the conductor, JOHN PRITCHARD , analyses the art of his friend and colleague. Why is Wagner's Ring one of the biggest box-office draws in all opera? PENELOPE TURING , LORD HAREWOOD and JOHN CUL-SHAW offer some explanation; and JOHN BLATCHLEY talks about his production of Siegfried which completes the Sadler's Wells Ring cycle at the London Coliseum.
Producer PATRICIA BRENT
