Memphis
'Rock 'n' roll is just like cooking,' says our shy and retiring gastronaut. 'You get a group of basic ingredients for seasoning, like peppers, celery and onions, you throw in some hot spices and a few bits of meat, and you get something delicious.
Someone in Memphis did just that with music. He took a little jazz, a great dollop of blues, stirred in with gospel and sprinkled liberally with country and western, and out popped rock 'n' roll - probably the most powerful influence on our lives since the cordless shaver.'

Last of eight programmes written and narrated by Charles Wheeler. Global War
Poland suffered more than any other country in the Second World War. One in six Poles died at the hands of the Nazi occupiers, and the Jewish population was wiped out. But Poland was only the trigger for a war which in two years was to engulf the world. Using rare and remarkable film from the conflict, Global War seeks to answer some of the most perplexing puzzles of the war: why did Hitler call off the invasion of Britain and turn instead on the Soviet Union? And why did he declare war on the USA in the winter of 1941? This film ties together the separate strands of the series and tells the tragic story of how a local conflict developed into a global war.

continuing the tribute to the legendary Hollywood star, appearing here as Nanny.
Why does 10-year-old Joey Fane have such an implacable hatred of Nanny, the mainstay of the household? He will neither sleep in the room she has prepared for him, nor eat the food she has cooked.
Bette Davis as the trusted English nanny maintains a sweetly smiling confidence in spite of the distinctly odd behaviour of the Fane family. But the sinister atmosphere suggests that nothing is quite as it seems ...
