Rick Jones, Dawn MacDonald, Jonathan Collins invite you to follow them to a place where anything can happen.

Jonathan Collins, at twenty, is the baby of the Whoosh! trio, but nevertheless he's had eight years' television experience. He started off in schools programmes, and has gone on to greater things in TV drama, including one "Wednesday Play" yet to be seen. He enjoys "Whoosh!" immensely - "I'm the most practical one. It's the other two, who should know better, who are always rushing off and doing crazy things."

International Swimming from Stockholm: The Six-Nations Contest
The first day of this important international at the start of the Olympic season sees Britain competing against the national teams of France, Holland, Italy, Sweden, and West Germany
Presented by the Swedish Television Service
Britain have a tremendous record in the Six-Nations Contest. Other countries have won it when they have been host nation - only Britain, winners three times in the past four years, have won away from home. Sweden staged - and won - the first contest in 1962, and will be determined to repeat that success now they are host nation again. Spearheading Britain's bid to retain the title will be Scotland's Bobby McGregor, world record holder for the 110 yards freestyle, and fifteen-year-old wonder girl sprinter, Alex Jackson.

Badminton Horse Trials: Cross Country
On the second day of the Three-Day Event BBC cameras cover key positions on the cross-country course
The three-day event is the toughest of all equestrian competitions - and Grandstand cameras bring you today the most gruelling phase, the cross-country section of the Speed and Endurance Test. Dressage occupied the first day of the event and tomorrow comes the final section, jumping. Britain, the United States, and Ireland are among the countries most likely to offer the strongest challenge for medals at the Mexico Olympics in October, and all three are competing at Badminton.

Feature films with suspense, danger, excitement.
After "Psycho", shown on BBC-tv last week, this film is a Hitchcock production of a different kind. Like the heroes of "The 39 Steps" and "North By North West", the hero of "Saboteur", Barry Kane, is innocently implicated in a criminal conspiracy and becomes a fugitive from both the law and the criminals. All the evidence seems to point to his guilt. He's accompanied on his flight, as are the heroes of the other two films, by an attractive blonde. Look out for a spectacular, typically Hitchcock finale atop the Statue of Liberty
