LPB Evening

6:00 PM GLOBE TREKKER
Scotland (#707)
Megan journeys to Glasgow, where she visits the Macintosh Museum and takes a bagpipe lesson. Next she travels to Stirling, site of a major victory by William "Braveheart" Wallace, Scotland's national hero. Megan samples the whiskey on the island of Islay, explores the mountainous region of Oben, goes fishing off the Isle of Skye, tours the battlefield of Culloden and pursues the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. She then travels to Strathdon for the Clanloddoch Highland games, witnesses an Orkadian wedding in Skara Brae, hits the links at St. Andrews and revels in the performances at the Edinburgh Festival.

7:00 PM NATURE
Rhinoceros (#2405&)
Millions of rhinos once roamed the Earth. There were hundreds of species of all shapes and sizes. But today, the rhinoceros is one of the planet's rarest animals, with three of its species on the brink of extinction. The program follows a team of experts who are working to protect rhinos from poachers -- relocating them to better habitats and breeding them in captivity. [CC] [STEREO] [Ed.R] [tvpg]
8:00 PM MASTERPIECE CLASSIC
Cranford - Part 3 (#3815&)
In episode three, Matty suffers great disappointment and, in a nostalgic mood one evening, decides to confide in Mary about Mr. Holbrook. The mention of India prompts Mary to write to Major Gordon to tell him that Jessie regrets her decision not to marry him. Also, Dr. Harrison visits the Rectory and formally asks the Reverend Hutton for permission to court Sophy. Meanwhile, Miss Pole invites the ladies of the town to a secret meeting to discuss Matty's crisis. United in their love for Matty, they decide to help her financially. [CC] [STEREO] [Ed.R] [tvpg]
10:00 PM JAZZ ICONS: ELLA FITZGERALD LIVE IN '57 AND '63
Ella Fitzgerald was one of the most beloved and influential jazz vocalists of the twentieth century. With her three octave vocal range, uncanny interpretive abilities and a mastery of the improvisational technique known as "scat," she earned 13 Grammy Awards as well as innumerable other honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. JAZZ ICONS: ELLA FITZGERALD LIVE IN '57 AND '63 features "The First Lady of Song" in two classic performances. The first is her earliest known complete concert to be captured on film. Shot in Belgium, this 1957 concert has Ella performing with jazz greats Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Jo Jones and the legendary Oscar Peterson on classics such as "Lullaby of Birdland" and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." The second show is an intimate in-studio performance from 1963, taped in Sweden, featuring Ella backed by a quartet including pianist Tommy Flanagan. Highlights include stellar versions of "Mack the Knife" and "Just One of those Things." [CC] [STEREO] [tvg] (Repeat from 5/4 5:00pm)
