Band Waggon starring Arthur Askey Richard Murdoch
Inspired by the radio series, this classic
British farce stars 'Big Hearted Arthur' and 'Stinker Murdoch' as a pair of would-be comedians who find the BBC - or rather the roof of Broadcasting
House - a little chilly. They move to Doom Castle and set up a pirate television station, not realising that it is being used by German spies.

from Crans-Montana The Women's Slalom
DAVID VINE introduces the final women's event of these championships and the question remains 'who can beat ERIKA HESS ?' Defending her 1982 title two years ago, she missed a gate on the second run and so missed out on the medals too. In the 19 World Cup slalom races since then, the Swiss star has scored points in all but one, a record unmatched by even her closest rivals.

An autobiographical essay by Leonard Bernstein with Israel Philharmonic
Orchestra
New York Philharmonic Orchestra
Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Bernstein has conducted most of the world's great orchestras, but three have proved particularly close to his heart - the Vienna
Philharmonic for the past 20 years, the Israel
Philharmonic for exactly 40 years and the New York
Philharmonic for even longer: he made his debut back in 1943, taking over when Bruno Walter was taken ill. The story of his unexpected catapult to make front-page news in the New York Times is one of the entertaining anecdotes related by Bernstein in these vivid orchestral reminiscences, illustrated by performances of music by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms,
Tchaikovsky, Mahler,
Gershwin and Bernstein himself. Narrated by Humphrey Burton

Presented by Russell Davies Magazines: The New Yorker, which holds a unique position in American cultural life, has employed only two editors since its founding in 1925 - until a few weeks ago, when publisher Robert Gottlieb was named successor to William Shawn , an appointment which has angered many of its contributors. Former staff member and novelist
Jay McInerny reports on the tradition of the New Yorker, and why the threat of change is causing concern, with comment from writers John Updike and Ved Mehta , critics Brendan Gill and Pauline Kael , and cartoonist Karen. Film: Raymond Briggs 's apocalyptic cartoon When the Wind Blows has now been made into a full-length animation, with the voices of Dame Peggy Ashcroft and Sir John Mills.
