A live entertainment for Saturday Introduced by Joe Melia with a little help from John Bird
Among the main events:

Juliette Greco in one of her rare appearances on television in this country: with songs by Jacques Brel and Maurice Fanon.
'Each programme consists of carefully balanced dishes: a little steak (sometimes "au poivre"), fish, salad, the faintest hint of garlic, never an obvious sweet...'

Marriages
by William Trevor
[Starring] Zena Walker as Mrs Lansdowne, Ann Morrish as Mrs Swingland
'Marriage has nothing to do with perfection, nor perfection with marriage.'

Tibetan Bells: If you listen long and hard down into the bells, either you will go insane, or be propelled into enlightenment...' For 4,000 years Tibetan bells have been prized for their extraordinary purity and duration of tone. Traditionally used by praying lamas, tonight a group of Western musicians - Henry Wolff, Nancy Hennings and Drew Gladstone - explore an extraordinary range of sounds on their unique collection.

10.40 The Mike Gibbs Band
Jazz is usually defined as music improvised by a small group of performers. Yet ever since the 1920s composers and arrangers have worked with large ensembles. As styles of improvisation have changed so has big band orchestration: today's arrangers have to accommodate free-form.
Few writers, in England or America, have done this as successfully as composer Mike Gibbs whose 15-piece orchestra perform two of his works in the studio.

125 Years of AA: People in our major cities are becoming concerned about the transformations taking place in their familiar surroundings. Why have the traditional achievements of British architects in creating livable communities apparently collapsed? The Architectural Association is perhaps one of the principal schools where this question is being asked. As well as presenting part of AA's anniversary exhibition, Full House tonight, discusses the future of architecture.
