Luton Town v Liverpool FA Cup Third Round
Introduced by Jimmy Hill The ingredients are heaped upon each other to make this one of the most enthralling third-round ties for years.
For a start, Liverpool begin their defence of the FA Cup on the artificial pitch on which they were so comprehensively beaten (4-1) in the League in October, and they must do so entirely without support. For whereas the Football League expelled Luton from the Littlewoods Cup for refusing to lift their ban on away fans for that competition, the authorities at Lancaster Gate agreed that the experiment should stand for the FA Cup.
When the draw was made a month ago, Luton were still unbeaten this season on their 'magic' carpet.

Ian Gall discovers something of the mysteries of these green and fertile islands, where civilisation can be traced back 5,000 years. Skara Brae, for example, is the best preserved prehistoric village in northern Europe.
He meets SINCLAIR SCOTT on the remote island of North Ronaldsay, and talks to an English couple, PETER AND LINDA DAVIS , about setting up home in the islands.
St Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, which is 850 years old this year, is the setting for tonight's hymns.
O come and let us to the Lord (Irish); The Lord's my shepherd (Searching for lambs); Eternal father (Melita); When I survey the wondrous cross (Rockingham); I need thee every hour; All my hope on God is founded (Michael): Be still, my soul
(Finlandia): Thou art before me. Lord (Sursum corda)

The Creation
How did the universe begin? According to Genesis, God created the world in six days. According to science, the universe was born about 15 billion years ago in a moment of cataclysmic creation - the Big Bang. But this theory leaves open the question: how did the bang happen in the first place? It is here that science has seemed to leave room for God - at least in the role of lighting the blue touch paper. But very recently some scientists have claimed that they can answer the ultimate question - how the universe appeared all on its own, out of nothing. Is this true?
