28/07/2005 Frank Sinatra on TV next week: muckraking and celebration
For such a dominant musician, Frank Sinatra doesn’t appear all that much on TV, but the BBC is making up for lost time next Thursday, 4 August, with several hours of Sinatra programming on two of its channels. Mass market channel BBC1 is showing, in prime time (9pm), the new documentary, Sinatra: Dark Star, centring on allegations about Ole Blue Eyes’s choice of friends. Quite why anyone would want to spend 90 valuable minutes watching such stuff is a mystery. Later, in the graveyard shift (11pm) on the minority digital channel BBC4, the broadcaster makes amends by transmitting Frank Sinatra: Night Of Nights, a recording of a splendid 1970 London charity show. Now that’s what I call music television: well worth taping. BBC4 follows with a Sinatra film, The Man With The Golden Arm, but we needn’t worry about that.
