We're all 'tangled up in blue' for the foreseeable... On This Day, Marie Antoinette married Louis XVI, Edgar Allen Poe married his 13-year-old cousin, the first Academy Awards were held and Motown Records was established. Alex Turner reads his story, A Choice of Three. We hear two spoken word tracks called Grey, by Alan Parker, Urban Warrior and Ken Nordine. Julie Andrews and Moondog celebrate nursery rhymes from around the world - then Barbara Windsor reads some of Cinderella, marking the anniversary of Charles Perrault's death. Birthdays: Nicky Chinn, Henry Fonda, Roy Hudd, Max Miller, Jonathan Richman, Liberace, Billy Cobham, Studs Terkel (talking about interviewing ordinary people) and Robert Fripp. Valete: Lena Horne and James Agee (an excerpt from Night of the Hunter, which he screenwrote).
