The second day of Christmas with Vera Lynn
That hackneyed old phrase 'ever-popular' gets used fairly indiscriminately in the world of show business - but surely for Vera Lynn it is completely justified, to have been the Forces Sweetheart in the 1940s, and to be a much-loved star, with her own television show, in 1969 seems qualification enough. This afternoon she sings - just for you - songs which she made (and which have also helped to make her) famous, and introduces favourite entertainers from theatre, cabaret, and television: Rolf Harris

Friday Night is Music Night enjoys an international listening public. When the show visited Holland and Austria earlier this year many of the audience in the halls turned out to be regular listeners by radio. This week, the programme visits Belfast's Ulster Hall, and the audience will no doubt give a very warm welcome to Maureen Tyson and Patrick McGuigan , and to the choruses-all very much at home in Belfast. Changing roles this week Is William Davies , who usually displays his skill at the piano. He takes up the conductor's baton when the orchestra and band strike up the signature tune, ' Colonel Bogey.'
