Oxford University (38 wins) v. Cambridge University (35 wins)

Last season's match, ending in an 8-0 win for Cambridge, came as a bitter disappointment to Oxford skipper Bob Phillips who had led his cosmopolitan side, including International players from Ireland and South Africa, into this match: as firm favourites. This season Phillips brings to Twickenham a team built around the formidable talents of Chris Laidlaw, scrum-half of the fabulous 1966/67 touring All Blacks. But can one man, however talented, swing the fine balance of a match universally acknowledged as one of the rare examples of British competitive rugby?
Direct from Twickenham

Cliff Morgan introduces the occasion, the captains, the players-and discusses with both past and present Blues their attitudes to these games which have achieved a unique place in British sporting history.

The judges:
Professor M.W. Thring, Queen Mary College, London
Gerd Sommerhoff, Sevenoaks School
Shirley Witherington, Institution of Mechanical Engineers
also John Earle and Janet Kelly
From the South and West

An elephant-shrinker, a conker factory, a swamp-hopper, a moon-crawler, a car-eating monster? Just some of the thousands of entries in this year's competition, and today's programme is devoted to the search for Inventor '68. John Earle and Janet Kelly will be demonstrating models of the best inventions, and Norman Tozer will be talking to the Tom Tom judges.
Jeremy Carrad thought it was time to get away from the studio, so he took the robot out for the day. Things did not go quite as planned, and you can see what happened when Tobor began his exciting adventures in the countryside.

A series of comedy films with the great laughter-makers
[Starring] Mae West, W.C. Fields
with Joseph Calleia, Dick Foran

Mae West and W.C. Fields, cherished as one of the outstanding screen combinations of all time, blend their colourful personalities in this riotous comedy of American frontier days.
W.C. Fields wrote many of his own scripts under such pen-names as Mahatma Kane Jeeves and Otis Criblecoblis, although, in deference to his co-star, tonight's film bears the real names of its joint authors. It is, however, reputed that they made the film up as they went along.

A series of music and arts features

A portrait of the River Thames from source to sea to the music of Handel
The most celebrated musical trip by water took place in 1717 when George I set out from Westminster in a barge, bound for nearby Chelsea for a late-night supper. The adjoining barge contained fifty musicians playing music 'composed specially by the famous Handel' lasting about an hour. The King was so pleased he had it performed three times in the same evening.
Tonight's journey is more comprehensive. It starts at the source of the Thames and proceeds to the estuary, with no attempt at historical reconstruction, using about half of the complete Water Music. There is no river in the world as rich both in historical association and in sharp contrasts of mood. Handel's great baroque score is a fitting and lasting travelling companion.
