Shel Silverstein invites us in to the show, where Jarvis hums one of the offbeat tunes from his makeshift birthday playlist. He reads out some Libran characteristics and today's saint days. Robert Donat recites Keats' Ode to Autumn. A journey around the media starts with a radio piece by Glenn Gould, The Idea of North, and Ronnie Barker performing the Mispronunciation sketch. For film, we hear the trailer for The Big Sleep; Michael Douglas giving advice about performance; some tracks connected to Midnight Cowboy; and Mark Hamill remembering acting opposite Yoda. And for TV, it's the Good Life theme. On This Day: the first remote control boat was demonstrated. Birthdays: Shel Silverstein, Bryan MacLean, William Faulkner, Felicity Kendal, Christopher Reeve, Zucchero, Erik Darling, Glenn Gould, Ronnie Barker, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, Pedro Almodóvar (with advice about life), Dee Dee Warwick, Richard Harvey, Steve Severin and Jerry Penrod.
