The Royal Tournament

on BBC One London

The arena at Earls Court is turned into a race track upon which lady drivers are seeking to prove that they really are better than the men. In this second visit to the show, girls from all three armed services, driving Minicars, are matched in a needle contest with their male comrades, who are in Land Rovers. The men have one small handicap: they have to blow up a bridge en route. Other items: the educated guard dogs of the R.A.F. in a display of obedience, the splendidly-clad cannoneers of the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery in their musical drive.
