A See-Saw programme

The Lawn Tennis Championships
The opening day of the world's greatest tennis tournament direct from the All England Club.
Featuring the first round of The Men's Singles Championship

John McEnroe, as defending Champion, has the honour of opening play on the Centre Court. Since he won his first title here in 1981 he has become the dominating figure of men's tennis but this year his superiority on grass will be put to the severest test. As well as Jimmy Connors, who has won twice here, and Ivan Lendl, a semi-finalist last year, there's Yannick Noah, and last year's Italian Champion, Jimmy Arias, playing Wimbledon for the first time. Youngsters Stefan Edberg of Sweden and Aaron Krickstein of the United States could also surprise the top seeds.

They are just seven of the 128 contenders for the most prestigious title in tennis. Harry Carpenter introduces BBC live coverage of the championships and keeps you up-to-date with news and results from all 18 match courts.

The Battle Against Heroin
Parents are crying for help as heroin spreads across the country from Dundee to Bognor Regis. Unable to find treatment, many resort to desperate measures. One father holds his two teenage daughters prisoner for two months: another buys heroin for his son to stop him turning to crime. Panorama has questioned every Health Authority in the country: an alarming picture emerges of an escalating problem, and services unable to cope. With increasing amounts of heroin smuggled in from Pakistan, customs and police officers face a near impossible task. Customs seize only a fraction of the total supply: as soon as the drug squads catch the dealers, others spring up to take their place. In the face of such odds, can the battle be won?

Ploughing a New Furrow
The plough is the basic farming implement, and Dr Alan Reece of Newcastle University has spent half a lifetime studying how they work. But now he also runs a successful business designing ploughs to work 600 feet down at the bottom of the North Sea, burying oil pipelines and telephone cables. The principles are the same, but the machines tend to be bigger-weighing up to 50 tonnes and standing 15 feet high. Philip Wrixon talks to ALAN REECE about this unusual application of agricultural engineering, and his assault on the academic ivory tower by combining university teaching with running a real engineering business.
