ONE WORLD, ONE VOICE 3.00pm BBC2
This unique musical adventure was first screened in May as the climax to One World Week. Kevin Godley (below), producer, video-maker and ex-10cc songwriter and drummer, began with a bass line recorded in New York by Sting. He then took the tape 'around the world in 44 days', building up a musical chain letter involving 65 acts from five continents - from Lou Reed to the Leningrad Symphony Orchestra. Tonight's film shows Godley's musical journey followed by his video record of the complete work.
