Friday Night is Music Night in more ways than one. Brian Kay's undemanding show (Radio 2, 7.30pm) tonight features veteran entertainers Richard Stilgoe and Peter Skellem.

Both known for their witty songs at the piano, they decided to perform as a double act while sharing a dressing room at the 1982 Royal Variety performance. Their current touring show, A Quiet Night Out, features their familiar blend of gentle cynicism and feelgood music. On Radio 3, Sir John Drummond hosts the Stravinsky Evening (7.15pm) from Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, an event celebrating Stravinsky's three great orchestral ballet scores. This is followed by a performance of Les Noces from the Barbican by Ensemble Modern and the BBC Singers. The evening is also a tribute to Diaghilev, whose Ballets Russes revolutionised dance between the years of 1909-1929 as well as giving rise to some of the century's most dramatic music.

Performances of Stravinsky's Firebird (7.30pm) and Petrushka (8.20pm) are interspersed with discussion about this remarkable period. Jack Dee presents a sardonic feature on the rise and fall of the suburban swimming pool in Dreaming by the Pool (Radio 4, 11am). Recalling the 1968 film, The Swimmer, in which Burt Lancaster swims home from work via his neighbours' pools, Dee asks how the pool lost its cool 1950s image as a symbol of new Britain and became instead an embarrassing white elephant constantly reminding its owners of the inadequacies of the British climate.

The evening also celebrates the work and influence of Serge Diaghilev, whose Ballets Russes in the years 1909-1929 revolutionised dance and influenced theatre CLASSIC FILM OF THE DAY Spellbound (Sky Cinema, 4pm) Based on Hilary, St. George -Saunders' mystery novel The House of Or Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound employs a heady pick'rt1 analysis, romance and murder to weave a gripping and impeccably produced suspense thriller. Ingnd Bergman plays a psychoaraiysfourn-detecttve who "falls far her new boss, Gregory Peck. It TsnH long -before Peck's 'condition' (he suffers from amnesia and.believes he has committed a crime) is -discovered, causing Bergman to risk her life and career to prove his innocence, taste tor stark melodramatic imagery like a glove.

JJven on a Jourth viewing, the familiar surrealist dream sequence (designed by Salvador Pali)- remain's just as eerie; equally magical is the scene where, doors open down a corridor-when Bergman It and Peck first kiss. Released in 1945, it's not fit surprising the script's treatment of a woman as a professional is outrageously sexist. To our Nineties sensibility it's laugh-outloud hilarious: 4VYomen make the best psychiatrists until they fall 7m love. After that they make the best patients'.
