Live from Wembley Stadium - Everton V Watford.
Cup Final Grandstand 11.0 am-5.15 pm
11.0 Grandstand invites you to Wembley Stadium for Cup Final Day, a celebration of the coming together of Watford FC and Everton FC at 3.0 pm prompt, in the FA Cup. Dress optional - shorts necessary, only if playing. Just one sitting planned, or, to be accurate nearer 100,000, for this particular feast and fair to say, reservations have already been made. Spend the day, and let David Coleman and the Grandstand team serve you. You will not be interrupted. A look then at...
11.1 The Menu
Generous portions of football, fun and racing fancies in the next six hours. Second helping too, if extra time is needed.
11.5 Fawlty Towers
Well not exactly, although things do tend to get out of hand when Freddie Starr and Michael Barrymore are around. One apiece at the teams' hotels. Freddie's response, on being asked to join the Watford players, is best left a mystery - he supports Everton!
11.20, 12.35 pm Meals on Wheels
Two sittings on board the Lime Street special. Breakfast time, and Watford Junction, fly by as this train-load of Toffees heads for Wembley.
11.30 Music While They Work
Chairman John runs his latest single for 16 million viewers - he's used to big crowds, home and away - as his staff loosen up.
11.35 Room Service
Reach for the phone, dial [number removed] and ask for your favourite Cup Final moment. It will be sent up right away. And put a question to our special guests.
11.45 Just Desserts
Goals of the Season - and there are some roasters among them - and the adjudged Young Player of the Year are suitably rewarded.
11.55 Hors-d'oeuvre
Actually horses from Newbury, sprinting first over five furlongs in the 12.0 Newbury Tote Spring Festival Stakes. Commentators PETER O'SULLEVAN JULIAN WILSON, JIMMY LINDLEY
12.5 pm A Cocktail Perhaps?
A red and yellow stinger made in Watford. Take a little Graham Taylor; add a touch of talent, a dash of promotion and a twist of Elton John - and shake, or even rock 'n' roll. Any complaints? Tell the chairman, if he's still standing.
12.25 Under Orders
Again A bit longer this one and infinitely better paid. Just a mile for 120,000. 12.30 Juddmonte Lockinge Stakes.
12.45 Anyone for Toffee?
Playing to capacity houses twice in two months is the kind of success Elton would applaud even when the crowd belongs to someone else. The new Everton brand is unwrapped.
1.5 And to Follow
David Coleman changes hats and sets some interesting minds to work on Questions of Sport.
2.0, 2.20 Alas, at an Adjoining Table...
Deep in conversation on the meaning of life - Smith and Jones (Mel and Griff Rhys).
2.5 Specialities of the House
Gray is white in blue - Andy that is. Barnes is black in yellow - that's John.
2.25 A Choice of Entrees
A reminder of who is giving this party anyway - the players.
2.45 The Main Course
Football's greatest show - with deference to the Scots and FIFA - is about to begin. Not an idle nerve in the tunnel, not a faint heart in the stands. The audience, uncomplaining, have been in for hours. Now their waiting is over. 'Abide with me'.
3.0 The 1984 FA Cup Final: Everton or Watford?
Commentary, John Motson, Jimmy Hill
Reporters Tony Gubba, Bob Wilson and Alan Parry
3.45 Have a Break
Messrs Coleman, Charlton, Hill and McMenemy pass up tea to discuss what was, and might have been - to a band playing. A goal or two from Scotland to boot.
4.45 The Cup that Cheers
The losers' ribbons lie undisturbed as the victors brave the 39 steps. The cup is almost home.
5.0 Out of the Frying-Pan
...into the interviews. Match winners and losers alike with instant replay. The panel re-convene and another chapter ends.
NB If there is not a result, same place, next Thursday at 7.10, on BBC1

1873-Arillo, Texas. Taunted by the town sheriff, Pardon Chato - an Apache half-breed - shoots the man in self-defence and rides out of town. A vicious posse decide to follow him, seeking revenge and a revival of the old hatred felt towards the Indians. Gradually Chato draws them into his own territory and the man-hunt takes a macabre turn as the 13 men find that they are no match for Chato's cunning and strength. In this unusual and taut Western Bronson gives one of his finest performances as the man driven to violence and murder by racial hatred.
