A Forty Minutes documentary film
They wanted to make him the next Sinatra. They flew him to America to co-star with Marilyn Monroe. But in only two years, Frankie Vaughan was back ...
The Britain he'd conquered in the 50s was not the Britain of The Beatles and the Rolling Stones. But his hard-core fans stayed faithful. Frankie survived, and, 20 years on, his dark good looks, and repertoire of evergreens, are still wowing the middle-aged ladies who fell for him as teenage girls.

Dear Sir,
You would think that with over 29,000 employees there would be someone capable of writing a funnier Radio Times billing than last week's.
Let me suggest one - 'It's all aboard for laffs as Ali Haha and his chums take you on a magic carpet ride through the bazaars of TV funland'.
Yours,
Lex Young
(radio's comedy balloonist)

Contented Cows and Other Animals
Chickens packed in battery cages, pigs in metal crates so small they can't turn round - that's what modern farming means to many people, and they're against it. But what do the animals feel about it all?
Scientists are now studying farm animals to find out more about their natural behaviour and about how farmers can change the way they treat them, in the hope of improving farm productivity and making life better for them. And they've come up with some surprising evidence from experiments that include lambs in balaclava helmets, hens laying multicoloured eggs, pigs building nests - and a group of chickens that roundly rejected an influential government report on welfare.
