With New Country. The best new music from
Nashville.
Featuring the best in folk, roots and acoustic-based music.
An exploration of the world of soul music from the fifties to the present day.
Stuart Maconie concludes a series highlighting some of the most influential days in the history of rock.
This programme examines the impact of "Saturday Night Fever" with its disco soundtrack that made that genre of music hugely popular, lifting it out of the underground New York black and gay club culture and into the mainstream.
Choice
The last of Seven Days That Rocked The World (10.00pm R2) happened in 1977. Saturday Night Fever provoked an intolerable outbreak of white flares, gold medallions and glittery boob-tubes as the Bee Gees sold 30 million copies of their disco album. Now, neatly-packaged and presented by Stuart Maconie, it has become respectably nostalgic. Such is the way of the world.
You could say something similar about this afternoon's play, when yet another lovelorn and slightly sozzled woman is floored in an unsuitable frock (see Monday). The heroine of Mavis Cheek's first novel (dramatised by the author) scarcely has time to Pause between Acts (2.15pm R4) of rash invention: she gets off lightly.
Raising the tone, mezzo Tamsin Dives sings from the cathedral of the Orkney islands in Morning Performance (11.30am R3). (SG)
