PBS Primetime Programming for the Week of June 14

Part of: PBS in Primetime

If we're done with the specifics of the Hitchhiker's ride – and I do believe we've dealt enough with the specifics of the story that we all know and love – we really need to deal with the big picture, the overall idea.  What is it?  What's our theme?  What are we looking at?  How are we going to put it together?

 

Sunday, June 14:

8:00 - 9:00PM

Nature - “Killers in Eden."  Remember Star Trek IV:  The Voyage Home?  That's the one with the whales.  Well, this is like that except totally different.  In Australia killer whales and whalers are joining forces to hunt for migrating baleen whales.  I imagine they're doing that to save them from the crew of the Enterprise (even though they weren't on the Enterprise in that one). 

9:00 – 10:30PM

Masterpiece Mystery! – "Foyle's War, Series V – All Clear." This is it for our good friend Christopher Foyle, at least the bits that relate to World War II. Series V of Foyle's War feature the end of the war and, only very briefly, the start of the peace. But will Foyle finally find piece? Watch and see.

10:30 – 11:00PM

From the Top at Carnegie Hall: Special Edition – "Music is Where the Heart is."  Well, I guess if the heart is the drum then that's very true.  Then music wouldn't only be where the heart is, it would be the heart.  I guess if your heart were on a stage where songs are playing the saying would be true again.  Thank goodness all musicians have hearts (literally speaking, of course).

Antiques Roadshow “Bismarck (Hour Three)."  I'm going to level with you, I know very little about Bismarck, North Dakota. I know very little about the Dakotas in general. I've driven across the country twice, once down south and once more middle/northish, but I never made it to either Dakota. I wanted to, what with Mt.
