DORIS DAY'S BEST FRIENDS (1985-6)

On 16 July 1985, Doris Day's Best Friends premiered on the American cable channel the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN).

This series of 30 minute shows was to be Doris's last regular return to the small screen. The main focus of these shows was to promote awareness on various animal welfare issues that Doris felt impassioned about as well as chat and reminisce about the good old days with some of her dearest showbiz friends. Doris recorded with her son Terry Melcher a handful of songs especially for the show including the main theme [these remain unreleased].
