Tonight: Raw Talent devised by Walter Lowe
' Back in the old days we had to make our own entertainment. Everyone would do a turn. Dad would slip Ex-Lax into the corn flakes and screw up the lavatory door. Mum would play a tune on the cat with a chain saw.' Tonight we pay tribute in our own way to the DIY entertainers.

A film portrait of Bob Glazebrook - Steinway's senior Concert Technician. He looks after 100 grand Pianos scattered about the country, and knows every one by its sound and its serial number. Steinway Hall in London houses his special fleet of top quality pianos kept aside for the more choosey of the world's best pianists - like Claudio Arrau, Emil Gilels and Clifford Curzon. For every performance Bob Glazebrook has to regulate and 'voice' the chosen piano in order to achieve the quality of sound to suit the artist, the work, and the acoustics of the hall. He also needs to know how to handle fastidious and occasionally temperamental artists.
Appearing in the programme are Howard Shelley, Alfred Brendel, Abbey Simon, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Peter Frankl and Bruce Forsyth
