It’s a light pastiche of 1950s’ America teen life as rebellious American teenager Danny (Travolta) falls for innocent Australian girl Sandy (Newton-John) during the summer holidays.

Clive James: Postcard from Paris, 10.35pm, BBC Four

The late Clive James (below) remains a titan of broadcasting three years after his death. Here’s another fine example.

In the 1960s as a young expatriate Australian writer, James discovered Paris, which he felt was nothing less than his spiritual home.

In this programme he returns to the city and meets the writers, the models and the actresses who were part of a different world in his youth.

He also encounters the unchanging arch-enemy of any visitor to the French capital: the Paris taxi driver.
