The Sound of Music, 1.50pm, BBC One
As a film, it’s overlong and quite dull, but the songs and their sequences are fantastic and the opening scene is so iconic.
Ultimately, this multi-Oscar-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical - starring Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker - may lack bite but is a visual and melodic delight. Like many millions, I love it.
A career-defining Andrews plays a cheerful novice nun employed as governess to the seven children of Plummer’s austere widower.
As she brings light, laughter and a love of all things harmonious to a family previously beset by grief and strict discipline, she also falls in love with her employer.
But before long, the looming threat of the Second World War jeopardises their happy household. Bloomin’ Nazis, eh? They just want to ruin everything.
Also: the excellent Easter Parade – starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland - is on BBC Two at noon. Smartly, it doesn’t let the story get in the way of lots of singing and dancing.
Meanwhile, there’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (6.15pm, RTÉ2), the third instalment of Steven Spielberg’s action/adventure franchise, starring Harrison Ford and our own Alison Doody.
