CHANCE IN A MILLION
Tonight at 9.30pm the man who
should carry a government health
warning, Tom Chance, will be
bounding back onto your screens
for another series of adventures.
You remember Tom Chance don't you?
He's the one that. Speaks in shgrt
bursts. Like this. And he's do£ged
by. Coincidence. Plagued by it.
Tom is, however, blessed by a very
patient and understanding girlfriend
who tries valiantly to bring some
semblance of order into his
chaotic life.

CHANCE IN A MILLION
Simon Callow is wgnderful as the
hopeless Tom, an affectignate,
boistrous, Hogray Henry-type quite
unable to cope with life or with
prgnouns.
His long-suffering, but equally
simple girlfriend is played by
Brenda Blethyn, who's been seen
on 4 lately in a contrasting rgle
in The Mysteries.
The two are perfectly matched...
well, at the very least one is
glad they have each other.

CHANCE IN A MILLION
The hazards of coincidence are tg
Tom Chance what Laurel was to
Hardy, leading him intg all sgrts
of farcical situations.
In tonight+s episgde Tom discgvers
that he has passed his O-level
Portuguese.
For most people this would be a
cause for celebratign, but Tom has
never sat the exam, nor summoned
two Portuguese hotel workers to his
house...
The fun starts tonight at 9.30pm.

NEW ON 4: GREECE - THE HIDDEN WAR
The second programme details the
Civil War itself and looks at the
two year drift into war and American
interventign to ensure victgry fgr
the right.
The trilogy is narrated by Michael
Wood and is based largely on
interviews with the exiles plus
footage of the war.
By the way, up until 1974 in Greece
it was a legal and punishable
offence to say there had been a
Civil War. Now the exhles have their
right to reply.
