Nothing like it had ever been seen on television. It was topical, satirical, open-ended and above all irreverent, at a time when establishment figures expected respect from mere broadcasters. TW3 conferred instant stardom on its host David Frost and the rest of its then youthful cast. In tonight's compilation, Bernard Levin delivers his own brand of invective and Millicent Martin sings topical songs, while
Roy Kinnear , Willie Rushton , Lance Percival , Kenneth Cope and David Kernan hone their wit on the week's news.

Bob Dylan, Jack Kerouac, Bruce Springsteen - just some of those who fell under the spell of Woody Guthrie, the guitar player who discovered America by bumming a ride on a freight train. Driven west from Oklahoma by the poverty that came in the wake of the great duststorms of the 30s he became, like John Steinbeck, a spokesman for the exploited migrant workers of California. Guthrie's most celebrated anthem, This Land Is Your Land, still stands as an ironic retort to God Bless America.
This Arena documentary compares the legend to Woody's own life.
