A Dress Parade arranged by H. E. Plaister and G. R. Kenward-Eggar.
This parade will take place in a beauty parlour presided over by Frances Faye, the beauty specialist. She will discuss fashions with one of her clients, a Coronation visitor, and as illustrations she will show clothes worn by models such as Miquette, Mary Richardson, Betty Price, and Margot Barnett.
A demonstration by Joe Davis and Tom Newman, Finalists in the United Kingdom Billiards Championship.
In this programme, the first demonstration of billiards in television, the two players who took part in the final of the United Kingdom Billiards Championship will be seen in play in the studio. The final was held at Thurston's, with Willie Smith (who, viewers will remember, gave a television snooker exhibition on April 14) as umpire, and that well-known figure, Chambers, as marker.
