Rick Jones, Dawn Macdonald, Jonathan Collins ...invite you to follow them to a place where anything can happen.
Pulling funny faces at photographers does pay off as Dawn Macdonald of Whoosh! found out. It was because producer Cynthia Felgate saw a very cheeky photo of her that Dawn got the job. She started life as a ballet dancer with first the Royal Ballet School and then the Company. But she wasn't really tall enough for great things so she turned to acting. Dawn says: 'I get to do all sorts of things on Whoosh! like go-karting and horse riding. We never know what's coming up next'.

and Swimming from Wigan: Inter-District Trophy
A competition between the North, South, West, Midlands, and North-East
Today's inter-district swimming tournament for the Television Trophy is an important step on the road that could lead to Gold Medal glory at October's Olympic Games in Mexico.
The Amateur Swimming Association have ruled that to qualify for a place in Britain's Olympic team, swimmers must equal the time of the sixth-placed finalist in their event at the last Olympics in Tokyo-a stiff hurdle indeed. And the time must be achieved in a 55-yard bath-the pool that corresponds to international requirements.
Wigan has one of Britain's few 55-yard pools, so today's tournament presents our top-line swimmers with a great chance to stake a claim for an Olympic place. It is also a chance for some of our up-and-coming youngsters to show they are ready to take over if the big-names slip.
There's one more reason for a star line-up... the razor-keen rivalry between the North and the South. The Northerners dominated this event until last year, when they were toppled by the South.
Incidentally, the five teams represent the five districts of the ASA.

"To our delight, people who were in nappies when Miss Gingold was in Sweet and Low, or evacuated while Miss Baddeley carried on - outrageously - in London laughed a great deal and seemed somewhat astonished that we old fogies did, said, and wrote such things in those far-off days."
So wrote Alan Melville introducing the second series of Before the Fringe on BBC-2 last year. And now people who missed the programmes can see them in the next six weeks.
