[Mark Fox]

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

[Marian]

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

[Lena & Harry Smith]

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,

[Marian]

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

[Mark Fox]

'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.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

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

[mariana44]

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.

[Mark Fox]

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

[Lena & Harry Smith]

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

[mariana44]

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.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

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.

[Marian]

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

[Gray]

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.

[mariana44]

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.

[Marian]

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