ARENA:JOHNNY MERCER 9:25pm BBC FOUR EASTER DAY followed by Johnny Mercer in Concert from May 1974.

It looks like there are a few good programmes to look forward to this Easter.

We've noted them all and we could be needing them too Marian, if the snow heads from Scotland down to us, Easter could be a stay-at-home Easter,

I have a JJ friend who is Entertainments Manager at a Holiday Park near Glasgow and they look like having a snowy Easter.

'MEET SAMMY DAVIS Jr.'on BBC FOUR at 11pm 6th April.
'the Sinatra film'PAL JOEY'on BBC FOUR 8th April-it's been on TV a few times but this one will be'advert-free'!
There are also screenings of the'ELLA'programme and one about Nina Simone.

We've watched them all, the Johnny Mercer programmes, and tonight, Ella, Rogers And Hart, and Sammy Davis Jnr. Fantastic !!!!

I am still struggling to see them-especially with the finals this week of both "Masterchef" and "Masterchef Australia" this week
[for all of you who did not see Masterchef Australia-you missed a treat--it has been brilliant-much better , more exciting, more twists and turns than our Masterchef]

However, they are still on my Sky + box, so I will get round to them eventually.

Pity is,next week-back to the normal rubbish!

You can't mean that Mark, .on Sunday the search begins for TOTO for "Over The Rainbow." poop scoops ready

From what I have read, this Toto will only appear in 1 show, so I guess the other shows will feature a properly traine dog.

Well if it's going to be anything like the movie, it won't have to train to do much.
not like LASSIE, he even had to learn to tell the time.

I think I heard they were going to use a toy dog in the show apart from this one performance.

Is that true, Marian?

I suppose I can see the sense in that, unless you are pulling my leg in which case I knew you were joking all along.

I had not heard that-so I guess it could be true--but on the other hand---it may not be...as this dog is only appearing once, it makes a little sense---I cannot imagine any dog being so good, all that time on stage-they are unpredictable.

I'm sure I heard it somewhere Gray, but time will tell.
