starring Jean Harlow with Chester Morris , Lewis Stone
' So gentlemen prefer blondes? ' Lil ' Red' Andrews is not convinced and Jean Harlow , the famous platinum hair suitably disguised, makes the idea seem absurd. Her performance as the go-getting good-time girl proved too much for the British censor who banned the film in 1932. Lil Andrews is a typist determined to climb the social ladder. As a first step. she decides to marry her boss - despite the fact that he already has a wife.
Screenplay by ANITA LOOS based on a story by KATHARINE BRUSH

Every year in June thousands of pilgrims, as vivid and varied as any Chaucer could have imagined, pour into the quiet Somerset town of Glastonbury; their journey's end-the ancient abbey ruins. Glastonbury is the centre of more myths than certainties, but still the pilgrims come. Why? What do they hope to gain from their ' trip to the truth '?

In this, the last of four programmes, ANGELA RIPPON talks to Anthony Smith , one of the few broadcasters to have discovered an animal that now bears his name, and to two of the founder members of the Unit, Tony Soper and Christopher Parsons.

Bernard Levin talks to
Jon Vickers
This year the dramatic tenor jon VICKERS celebrates his 25th season at Covent Garden. He started his working life as a businessman, and what makes his transformation all the more surprising is that he claims: ' I had no ambition to be a singer, and in honest truth I have no ambition to be a singer.' In constant demand in all the great opera houses of the world, his ability to reveal what motivates an operatic character has been described by Sir Colin Davis : Jon is a tremendous force. He's the only one who brings those obsessive operatic characters to life: Tristan, Florestan, Peter Grimes and Aeneas in The Trojans.'
