An' great big goggle eyes...

6.0-6.20 Local News and Weather
(Rowridge, Brighton, Oxford, Peterborough, Manningtree, Cambridge)

Those plumed crackshots of the Italian army, the Bersaglieri, execute gymnastic leaps while at the same time playing martial airs - as another squad of their comrades jump through blazing hoops to the rhythm of those same airs. Just one of the items in this first of two visits to the annual military spectacular at Earls Court. Also on parade: Canada's Mounties, riding musically and faultlessly; the Royal Navy, striving traditionally to haul field-guns across a chasm; the massed bands of the Royal Armoured Corps and, on the bandstand, the Midland Band of the Royal Air Force.
A television outside broadcast presented by John Vernon
A second visit on Thursday at 6.40pm.

Is Stead over the hill, about to die? Can Thornton really be sacked? Can Stewart survive in Mogul after his recent disasters? Will Izard retire when Stead goes?
The future of just about everybody is in jeopardy in this, the final episode of the current series.

This week there are no guest stars, only a number of brilliant supporting roles. This week the regular stars of Mogul dominate the screen, bringing to a climax their efforts, achievements, and adventures during the series.
