Well, it's actually the day, 50 years on from when Hillary and Tenzing
first climbed Everest. And to commemorate the occasion, the BBC has
scheduled a whole evening of Everest programmes.
Unfortunately they've stuck them on the backwater of BBC4 - the
television channel rather than the radio one - from 8.30 pm onwards. The channel's showing programmes with an Everest theme including a
pair of documentaries about the mountain and Eric Valli's stunning
Oscar-nominated film 'Himalaya
- L'Enfance D'Un Chef'. See previous articles at bottom of page also.
The film was shot entirely in the Himalaya and is reckoned to be
superb. So if you have satellite, cable or digital TV, you know what
you're doing tonight, if you haven't, best phone round your mates
now...
