Taking more than two years from conception to release Stevie Wonder's classic 1976 double-album 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is now generally accepted as his finest creative hour in an enduring 35-year recording career that has been filled with many other highlights. The remarkable story of Wonder's 'Songs In The Key Of Life' project is told here. Stevie himself reminisces about the inspiration behind the album - It was a challenge doing an album that was related to life - and there are also contributions from Berry Gordy the founder and father figure of Motown Records Quincy Jones Herbie Hancock and lyrcist Gary Byrd among many others. In addition there is unique reunion of musicians who played on the original album sessions. Certainly 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is a truly remarkable album. Its story is vividly related in this 'Classic Album' programme including as a celebratory re-creation twenty years on of 'I Wish' and 'Sir Duke' with the original musicians who played on the session.
Love laughs and outstanding stars add a warm glow to this heartfelt hit comedy. For a sensitive young boy some distressing news about his mother (gorgeous Andie MacDowell - Four Weddings And A Funeral) and neglect from his crackpot inventor father (John Turturro - Quiz Show) force him into the refuge of his wildly eccentric uncles. Their wacky lifestyle and his impressionable mind lead to one zany situation after another. It's an unlikely trio for sure but together they'll learn
The principal with the Improve Your Coarse Fishing series is to do what the magazine does - concentrating on UK pleasure fishing on the kind of waters anyone can fish and techniques that anyone can use with a bit of application. In presenter Kev Green's words: The series is all about helping people catch more fish and bigger fish on venues they can identify with. We are targeting many different species in many differ ways. We cover carp but the series is by no means all about carp fishing. It's about enjoying the pleasure fishing that the UK has to offer and learning things that will improve your own fishing. Fishing for bream (Bluebell Lakes Northamptonshire) tench and perch (River Nene) are covered as Kevin who is editor of Improve Your Coarse Fishing magazine goes fishing with Angling Times' editor Richard Lee. Don't miss Kevin's visit to Docklow Pools in Herefordshire to show the quality of silver fish sport available on the country's commercial fisheries as he puts his pole to good use to for a superb bag of roach. A brilliant episode sees Kevin joining carp man Steve Broad in a head-to-head at a typical commercial carp pool with Steve using Method tactics for big carp and Kevin giving a masterclass in the use of market floats and spods to target carp in numbers. It's not all about stillwaters though with Kevin 'hooking up' with Bob Robberts for some real Mr. Crabtree style fishing stalking chub and barbel on a picture postcard tributary of the River Trent and there's some amazing underwater footage of barbel and chub feeding to enjoy. Also look out for Kevin teaming up with former Wasps rugby player Jonathan Watt at Hartleylands Farm in Kent. Jonathan shows how to fish (paste) on the bottom for carp with Kevin enjoying plenty of action up in the water with a splasher waggler and big pellet waggler. And Kevin's back with the nation's favourite fish when he visits Lemington Lakes in the Cotswold to target big tench in the margins .........and he bags a personal best on the pole for good measure!
