It is a day out today for surviving fans of Fred Astaire. Television One’s midday movie is one of the most famous of the AstaireGinger Rogers musicals. Top Hat. It was made in 1935. In mid-afternoon, TV2 has one 22 years newer — Funny Face in which Astaire is partnered by Audrey Hepburn. The rest of the day will please sports-minded people mostly. Television One has four hours and a quarter of sport but a weak programme, except for Man About the House

(8.30) and possiblv for Dean on Saturday (11.15). Television Two has little better to offer. The Tommy Cooper Hour last week was an utter flop, but he must get better. Mod Squad will attract a minority audience, probably, and so will Barnaby Jones (9.40). There is a 70minute film with Rod Taylor, Family Flight and the charms of Carol Lynley in Eve (10.30) as compensation. Tomorrow TV2 has more than two hours of sport, TVI an hour of The Big

Match which will almost certainly be the final Ranfurly Shield challenge of the season, with Marlborough visiting Auckland. At 8.00 TVI has its powerful The Pallisers and the last episode at 9.40 of the equally compelling Shoulder to Shoulder. Television Two can provide some strong opposition, with Sam (8.15), the delightful Milo O’Shea in The Dobson Doughnut (9.05) and the second episode in The Golden Bowl, the adaptation of a novel by Henry James.
