Fancy a drink before noon? Tune into Brew Masters on Quest tv (available on freesat) at 10:00am,
Saturday 4th, to hear the story of Dogfish Head Brewery’s efforts to brew, then
market a beer celebrating the 40th anniversary of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew.* If 10:00am is too early,
catch the repeat at four in the afternoon. If Fred and Ginger are more to your
liking, how about Flying Down to Rio
at 1:00pm (BBC 2)? Moira Stuart
remembers Joe Sample, Radio 2, Sunday at 11:00pm.
Monday evening – make that the early hours of Tuesday
(3:45am) – C4 screens a classic Billy Wilder adaptation of James M. Cain’s Double Indemnity. Also, on Monday
evening proper (11:00pm), Jazz on 3
offers a quick repeat of Ambrose Akinmusirie’s Cheltenham Jazz Festival set.
Julia Biel is Jamie Cullum’s guest
(Tuesday, 7:00pm).
Finally, on Thursday at eleven in the morning, tune to Radio
Four to join Lenny Henry in America as he learns more about playwright August
Wilson. In August Shines Henry (the
now straight actor) visits Pittsburgh
to explore the life and work of the man who penned a number of award-winning
plays including Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom
and Fences (Henry starred in a recent
revival).
