The 93rd Varsity Match Oxford v Cambridge
Cambridge, under captain STEVB WARLOW , are the likely favourites with their brilliant back division which includes English International PETER WARFIELD and All Black MIKE O'CALLAGHAN , as well as two members of the England Under 23 squad, RICHARD HARDING and ALAN WORDSWORTH. But Oxford's captain CHARLES KENT , also an England Under 23 player, is hopeful that his more powerful pack can deny Cambridge possession and prove that the result of today's game is far from a foregone conclusion.

with Denholm Elliott The Iron Man by TED HUGHES
No one knew where the Iron Man came from. At first he was feared because he was so large - a huge formidable figure, taller than a house. But gradually the people accepted him and even gave him all the scrap iron he needed for food. In desperation, the people asked the Iron Man to help.

A View of Europe in the Twentieth Century
A television history in 13 parts Written and narrated by John Terraine
With personal comments by Peter Ustinov
5: This Generation has No Future The crises come to fruition and we witness the first of the two catastrophes in this century which were to drain away all Europe's might. We examine the working out of the new 20th-century style of war - war conducted with all the technological apparatus of the First Industrial Revolution.
This is a war of mass-production, of mass-armies - and, naturally, of mass-casualties. It is a huge act of attempted European suicide, and when it ends after four-and-a-half years of unprecedented slaughter, well may a despairing German officer say: ' This generation has no future, and deserves none. Anyone who belongs to it lives no more.'
