Facing the Music
William Thallon and Lawrence Kershaw form a singing duo called, appropriately enough,
'William and Lawrence'. They met in their first term at Queens' and have been friends ever since. They sing together, run the college music society, and advise each other about girl-friends. As they prepare and organise the Grand Centenary Concert of the music society the tensions increase, on both their friendship and their futures. They are going for very different jobs in the outside world, and this is the time when they must concentrate on their careers. Their college-based friendship comes under test.

The Story of the Bass Saxophone
The bass saxophone is not only an expression of man's foolhardy ingenuity in music making, it is also a rallying point for humane eccentrics. Not merely a machine, not quite an animal, but with something of both like the steam locomotive, the bass sax attracts unusual personalities like the indefatigable Harry Gold, and John Barnes , who in his more sensible moments plays baritone sax in Humphrey Lyttelton's band.
The film traces the history of this large instrument with contributions from Harry
Gold and His Pieces of Eight, the Keith Nichols Blue Four, Gunther Schuller
Harry Hayes , George Hurley and exiled Czech novelist Josef Skvorecky. Also featured is some rare film of the first master of the instrument - Adrian Rollini. Written and narrated by Russell Davies
