Just picked up the TV guide, it fell open on tomorrow's radio page.....and at 7pm tomorrow night, there's the first of a four-part series called "What the world needs now - The Burt Bacharach Story"....here's what the guide says...

Paul Sexton presents a 4-part profile of the much loved songwriter, who is now 78. Beginning with his early life in Kansas City, Burt recalls how his mother cajoled him into taking piano lessons. Apart from featuring famous Burt fans, such as Noel Gallagher, the series includes Burt's collaborator, lyricist Hal David, who helped him write many classics, including Close to you, The Look Of Love, Say A Little Prayer and Walk on By.

It's on at 7.00pm tomorrow night - check this post time, it's now 7.20 pm here.
