The rural village of Clun in Shropshire played host last September to a Country Fair in its castle grounds. Competition categories of floral arrangements, vegetables and flowers were judged by Bill Sowerbutts , veteran of Gardeners' Question Time, while the cookery entries were tasted by expert and writer Mary Norwak , with John FitzMaurice Mills viewing an impressive range of arts and crafts exhibits.
Meanwhile there were stalls, contests, tractor races and tugs-of-war outside in the summer sun, as hostess Lesley Judd met the local people, and learnt about the traditions, legends and working lives of this community in the heart of the country.

The John Player Special British Grand Prix
Uninterrupted live coverage of British motor sport's blue riband occasion, round ten of the Formula One World Championship over 75 laps of the
2.6-mile circuit.
Following early-season success, the McLaren team of championship front-runners, Alain Prost and Niki Lauda,, suffered unaccustomed defeat in North America, and the driver to watch this afternoon could be reigning world champion Nelson Piquet at the wheel of his Brabham.
But what price a British victory? With luck, around 4.30, Derek Warwick or Nigel Mansell could be spraying champagne from the winners' rostrum.

Five films exploring narrow-gauge railways. 4: Slow Train to Olympia Written and narrated by Michael Wood
Travelling the little lines of the Peloponnese, local passengers rub shoulders with the rucksacks of young tourists who have come to gaze at the glory of Ancient Greece. But as the blue and gold rail car climbs into the mountains, the train is transformed as it stops in villages like Khranoi, where the line doubles as main street and centre of the community.

Introduced by Humphrey Burton
This evening's programme explores landscapes of England and Ireland in both painting and poetry. Wharfedale Revisited celebrates a patch of land in North Yorkshire that is credited with shaping the origins of English landscape painting. Turner, Cotman and Girtin all visited and painted Wharfedale.
In tonight's film Russell Harty describes how an aristocrat, a gallery owner and nine contemporary artists collaborated to see afresh this most picturesque landscape.
The poetry of Paul Muldoon provides insight into the landscape of Northern Ireland and the landscape of Muldoon's own imagination. This film, entitled Squeezing the Frog after a bizarre image from Muldoon's poems, reflects the literary obsessions of a linguistic acrobat.
