Introduced by Frank Bough featuring Racing from Kempton Park -four races from the day's top meeting, including the Lonsdale Handicap Hurdle; Athletics from Cosford, with Britain's top men and women competing in the National Indoor Championships, the biggest indoor meeting of the season; and Show Jumping from Stoneleigh.

12.55* Football Preview
Sam Leitch introduces Grandstand's up-to-the-minute football preview, featuring the action and personalities in the news.

1.10, 1.40* Show Jumping: The BBC Grandstand Trophy Competition
Leading riders compete in the third round of this special competition being staged in the famous indoor arena at the National Equestrian Centre, Stoneleigh.
The results of the three qualifying rounds will be averaged out to find five riders to go forward to the finals, to be held at Stoneleigh on 20 February. These finals have an unusual feature in that the competitors also ride the other finalists' mounts.
This remarkable new arena has limited spectator accommodation so can only be used for televised events - as well as its normal function as an indoor school for all classes of rider.

1.20, 1.50, 2.20, 2.50* Racing from Kempton Park
1.30 Sunbury Selling Hurdle (2 miles)
2.0 Hampton Handicap Steeple-chase (2 miles 170 yards)
2.30 Lonsdale Handicap Hurdle (2 miles)
3.0 Walter Hyde Handicap Steeple-chase (3 miles)

2.10, 2.40, 3.10, 4.30* Athletics: The National Indoor Athletics Championships
Britain's leading men and women compete for individual titles and for places in the team to meet East Germany in February.
(Organised by the Midland Counties Amateur Athletics Association)

4.50* Results Service
Timings are subject to alteration in order to keep up to date with events. Latest football scores, racing results, and news given throughout the afternoon, and the Teleprinter Service is at 4.40*
