Rolf Harris is appearing at the Coventry Theatre

Rolf has recently returned from a round-the-world trip which took him to New Zealand, Australia. Canada, and the United States. On his tour he collected a number of songs, several of which he will sing tonight, including a number that won a prize in an Australian brewery competition and which Rolf considered so good that he decided to record it himself.

A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it

Stanley Brock, the manager of the Dadanawa Ranch in Guyana, is equally at home in the saddle of his horse or the cockpit of his light plane. In his leisure hours he sometimes flies to enjoy the spectacle of one of the world's greatest and most remote waterfalls, the Kaieteur Falls; but most of his spare time is spent in studying the wealth of wildlife in the forest, swamps, and savannahs.
