18 17 HIGHLIGHTS LEISURE! TV WEEK The Oldtimers comes to CBC- TV CBC television is about to try a new concept by putting together a series produced on a regional basis but blended into a Canadian whole. If it works, it opens up a whole new range of possibilities that could wipe out the internal bickering of the CBC and present some really memorable, cross-Canada programs. It's called The Oldtimers and is an eight-part series put together by Donnalu Wigmore of CBC Toronto. She is executive producer for the series, which begins Nov. 11.
