HOT SHEET FOR WEEKEND OF OCTOBER 18 AND 19/97

SATURDAY OCTOBER 18, 1997

1. THE HOUSE:

This week on The House, the week in national politics...a new report
indicates that Canada has slipped to 11th place in the world in terms of
the proportion of our national income that send abroad in foreign aid. But
private citizens in Canada are giving even more to help underdeveloped
countries. Why the growing gap? Also, Jason Moscovitz talks with
Jean-Pierre Kingsley, Canada's Chief Electoral Officer, about the report he
issued this week. Kingsley believes there is room for substantial
improvement in the way tabs are kept on fund-raising by local riding
associations, and in funding and campaign spending by groups other than
political parties. Reporter David McKie has a followup on the problem on
sexual harassment in the civil service, and reporter Jennifer Fry has an
update on the Canada Information Office: is the year-old agency a 20-
million-dollar boondoggle? All that and more this week on The House, the
week in national politics with Jason Moscovitz, Saturday after World Report
at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

2. BASIC BLACK:

Tricks contest!!! Find out whose Harold Fiske returns with the story of a

chats with a B.C. man who kayaked from Alberta to Nova Scotia - the long
way! That's on Basic Black, Saturday at 10:05 (10:35 NT) on CBC Radio One.

3. GREAT EASTERN:

This week on The Great Eastern, Paul Moth gets his moose ! Or, closer to

long-time pals Ger Cadigan and Bill Murphy. Duck and cover on
Newfoundland's cultural magazine, the Great Eastern, Saturday morning at
11:31 a.m. (12:01 NT) on CBC Radio One.

4. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:

This week on Quirks and Quarks...the ethics of using placebos - "dummy
drugs" - in clinical trials: is it fair to give people facing a serious
illness a drug that you know will do nothing for them, and deny them a drug
that might help? Also...the trouble with the stethoscope: some doctors have
difficulty interpreting what they hear. Now a new computer program may help
to train their ears. All that and more this week on Quirks and Quarks,
Saturday at 12:09 (12:39 NT) on CBC Radio One.

5. DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA:

This week on DNTO...Imagine a soap opera that you watch on a billboard
while driving your car, and every time you click your garage door opener at
it you interactively change the plot. Cash Peters has the scoop about the
kind of interactive entertainment you can find only in Hollywood. And
speaking of entertainment, in honour of Friday's launch of a new batch of
specialty cable channels, DNTO polls some Canadian celebs to see what
they'd create if they got to program their own specialty channel. Guests
include actor Sheila McCarthy, Jean Ghomeshi from Moxy Fruvous and
Geoffrey Kelly from Spirit of the West. Governor General award winning
author Nino Ricci talks about his favourite book, movie and song. And in
the final hour, hilarious social and political satire with the musical
comedy of Bowser and Blue recorded live in concert in Hudson, Quebec.
That's on Definitely Not the Opera starting at 1:08 pm (1:38 NT) on CBC
Radio One.

6. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:

Saturday on The World This Weekend...Yeltsin's remedy - economic shock
treatment for an ailing nation. Prime Minister Jean Chretien arrives in
Russia today for a five-day state visit. And he'll find a country in the
midst of radical economic change - change that has left millions
unemployed, and millions more poor and desparate. Join host Bernie McNamee
for a special documentary look at the legacy - and victims - of Yeltsin's
reforms. Plus the latest news, arts and sports. That's The World This
Weekend - Saturday evening at 6:00 (7:00 AT, 7:30 NT) on Radio One and Two.

profile of Texas bluesman and bandleader Gatemouth Brown. "Gate" was one of

Another Verdi classic from La Scala this week on Saturday Afternoon at the

all the usual elements of opera. Cheryl Studer, Chris Merritt and Ferruccio
Furlanetto headline the cast, and Riccardo Muti conducts the orchestra.
That's I Vespri Siciliani, on Saturday Afternoon at the Opera, hosted by
Howard Dyck, Saturday at 1:30 pm (2:30 AT; 3:00 NT) on CBC Radio Two.

19. FACE OFF:

This week on Face Off...More than two million students in Ontario could be
out of the classroom soon if the province's teachers and the government
can't head off a looming strike. The primary causes of the conflict are the
same ones that seem to be affecting teacher-government relations in other
provinces: scarce funds, dissatisfaction with results and power struggles
over who controls what goes on in the classroom. Face Off assembles people
on all sides of the problem - teacher leader Marshall Jarvis, parents Annie
Kidder and John Bachmann, Mary Ann McLaughlan of the Conference Board of
Canada, a business umbrella group that has just waded into the fray, and

no deficit. Where do we go from here? Should the government start spending
again, with restraint? Do we need tax relief? What about the accumulated

19. JUST FOR LAUGHS 15TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL:

Who else but perennial favorite Mike MacDonald could host the Best of Just
For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special? MacDonald, a true Canadian comedy
staple with a dry, cynical wit, knows the real story behind all the hype.
He reveals the real truth behind the great acts that have graced the stage
and TV screen over the years. For example, Rowan Atkinson used the Just For
Laughs stage to launch his Mr. Bean character. His manager took a tape of
his first performance and used it to sell the Mr. Bean concept, and the
rest is history. That performance is seen here for the first time. Just For
Laughs has played host to all the stars, and at every stage of their
careers -- before they were stars, while they were stars, and long after
they were stars. See performances by Paul Reiser, Brett Butler, a rare
stage appearance from Jim Carrey, Rowan Atkinson, Lily Tomlin, Adam
Sandler, Seinfeld's Michael Richards and Jon Stewart and many more. That's
the Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special, Sunday night at 9:00 p.m. on
CBC Television.

20. THE WORST OF JUST FOR LAUGHS:

Right after the Just For Laughs 15th Anniversary Special on CBC Television
Sunday night, you can see the other side of the coin. The Worst of Just For
Laughs features comedy performances that live in memory for reasons other
than brilliance. This half-hour special of flubs, bloopers and ideas that
looked good on paper (but nowhere else) will have you on the floor laughing
- in sympathy, horror, whatever. It makes a dandy reality check after The
15th Anniversary Special that precedes it. Andy Nulman, whose mission as
C.E.O. of Just For Laughs is to spread laughter and good cheer, has defied
his mission by hosting this special, which features stuff "that's probably
best left forgotten, but we're gonna show it anyway." Don't miss The Worst
of Just For Laughs, Sunday night at 9:30 on CBC Television.

21. LIFE & TIMES:

He is likely the wealthiest and certainly one of the most popular artists
in Canada, but Robert Bateman's work has been ignored by most of our
country's major galleries. From his beautiful retreat on the shores of
British Columbia's Salt Spring Island, Bateman talks about his Life & Times
this Sunday night on CBC Television. Bateman's 1977 decision to enter the
reproduction market became a huge controversy that has colored his
reputation as an artist. He wanted to make his work accessible to more
people, so he personally signs from 950 to 12,000 copies of each of his
paintings. Today, Bateman prints are sold all over the world - in 500 shops
in Canada alone. Critics say these prints are just overpriced posters that
cheapen the legitimate art market and that they have barred Bateman from
showings in most of the major art galleries of the country. Get to know
this highly popular artist as Life & Times profiles Robert Bateman, Sunday
night at 10:00 p.m. on CBC Television.

22. THE PASSIONATE EYE:

This week on The Passionate Eye, a re-broadcast of the fascinating
documentary "Rock Wives." The media often portray the life of a rock star's
partner as one long round of shopping, parties and photo opportunities.
"Rock Wives" explores the less-than-glamorous truth about that life. The
documentary features interviews with Shirley Watts, wife of Rolling Stone
drummer Charlie Watts; Angie Bowie, former wife and manager of rock
superstar David Bowie and Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne for 14
years, mother to their three children and mastermind of his career. Don't
miss "Rock Wives," on The Passionate Eye, Sunday night at 9:00 p.m.
(EASTERN) on CBC Newsworld. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish
