ELTON JOHN AND BERNIE TAUPIN A once-in-a-lifetime meeting between Elton John, a young piano player, and lyricist Bernie Taupin in 1967 resulted in a songwriting partnership that has lasted more than 50 years. Their process seems simple: Taupin writes lyrics and sends them to John who goes to work at the piano and creates a song. The results of their enduring partnership have been simply incredible. MR BATES VS THE POST OFFICE Based on actual events, this series follows one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in British legal history. When money started to seemingly disappear from its local branches, the government-owned post office wrongly blamed their own managers for its apparent loss. For more than a decade, hundreds were accused of theft and fraud, but the issue was actually caused by errors in the post office’s own computer system. Mr Bates vs The Post Office airs Sundays at 8 p.m. beginning April 7.
