Publiek kan jong talent gaan kiezen. (Van onze radio- en tv-redactie) HILVERSUM - Tegelijk met de kijkers in Engeland en Noorwegen kan het Nederlandse televisiepubliek op maandagavond 10 maart bepalen welke zanger, zangeres of groep winnaar wordt van het beroemde Engelse jong-talent-programma „Opportunity Knox". Dit programma, dat in Nederland onder de titel „Kies uw ster" door de TROS wordt uitgezonden, komt in alle drie de landen gelijktijdig op het scherm. Nederland wordt vertegenwoordigd door de veelbelovende popgroep Lucifer, Engeland door het elfjarige sterretje Lena Zavaroni. De zangers Carole Hill en Juan Sanchez behoren ook tot de kanshebbers. Het publiek kan via een briefkaart zijn favoriete keus kenbaar maken. Deze Nederlandse uitzending van Opportunity Knox, dat in het Londense Royal Theatre wordt opgenomen en wordt gepresenteerd door Hughie Green, is voorlopig eenmalig. Of de TROS het programma vaker gaat overnemen, hangt af van eventuele Nederlandse deelname in de toekomst.
