Oh Rosalinda! is a typically imaginative Michael Powell-Emeric Pressburger production - setting of Strauss's Die Fledermaus in the Vienna of the 50s. It features dazzling art direction by Hein Heckroth and sparkling new lyrics by Dennis Arundell for the familiar Strauss melodies. Anton Walbrook gives a spirited performance as 'The Bat' - the elegant Dr Falke - who plans his revenge for a practical joke, played on him by the French Colonel Eisenstein and his beautiful wife Rosalinda.

Sir Hugh Greene , Director-General of the BBC from 1960-1969, was the most controversial man to hold that post. A colourful, but powerful, personality he often found himself in conflict with politicians and public figures who sought to limit the freedom of the broadcaster.
With the help of such notable adversaries as Sir Harold Wilson and Mary Whitehouse , in this programme Sir Hugh recalls his 30 years' experience of those Battles of Broadcasting. From the tense days of the war to the exciting but controversial years of the 60s, which saw the birth of such programmes as TW3, The Wednesday Play, 'Til Death Us Do Part and The War Game, he examines the difficulties and problems of defending public service broadcasting in a critical world.
