Geoff Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 (edited) I am afraid I don't know how to access a channel called PBS America here but the listings are praising a feature-length documentary about ABT, to be shown in the UK this coming Friday at 7.50pm. There are sections on Jerome Robbins, Agnes de Mille and Balanchine, and Alicia Alonso is among the veterans of the early years who contribute. Maybe someone could post extra information on how to watch as this sounds most interesting. Edited November 15, 2016 by Geoff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trog Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 You're lucky - PBS American keeps falling off my FreeSat box (along with a bunch of other channels). Anyway, thanks for the info - I.ll have to try a retune and see if PBS comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveclassics Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 It's also repeated at 11:50 that night. If you want to record programmes I've often noticed that the later the transmission, the shorter it is. That's because there are fewer and briefer ad breaks - always a good thing!

Pas de Quatre Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the tip about the later showing, loveclassics. I recorded it and watched about 30 minutes last night (very busy weekend so will have to do it in sections). It is a lovely documentary with a mixture of intelligent commentary, still photos and film footage.
