Over the holiday weekends of Christmas and New Year BBC2 is repeating this ambitious series of six lectures given when Leonard Bernstein was Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University and called The Unanswered Question 1: Musical Phonology
Bernstein proposes the existence of a world-wide, inborn musical grammar and shows music developing from pre-history to the present. Including a performance of Mozart's Symphony No 40 in G minor (K 550) played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Bernstein
... undoubtedly some kind of television classic ... a superb set of lectures.

Down on the Edwardian Farm
A special outside broadcast from the newly created open-air farm museum at the village of Cogges in Oxfordshire. With her guests Gordon Beningfield , Bernard Price and farmer Ted Moult , ANGELA RIPPON explores the many different working exhibits that are now housed in this genuine Edwardian setting - more picturesque and atmospheric than any film set.
The climax of their day is the moment when the threshing machine starts up. Country Game imported new belts, several pounds of grease and a ton of ripe corn. Hitched to an early engine, the giant thresher shuddered into life and performed its ancient task as if those Edwardian days down on the farm were only yesterday.
