The fate of the clubhouse is to be decided. Whose side is Suzy Gilbert-Walker on? Real Falkirk are drawn against the Chelsea Challengers, a team of actors led by the existentialist Jean-Paul Witherspoon, a man who doesn't conform to any tactical pattern. Mo goes to confession.
BBC Scotland
(Ceefax subtitles)
Instead of the familiar venue of the Royal Albert Hall, tonight's Prom comes from the more intimate location of St Paul's Church, Knightsbridge where Anthony Rooley and his Consort of Musicke perform a specially devised programme of ltalian madrigals. In keeping with this year's literary theme the concert is based on the poetry of the great Italian Renaissance writer TORQUATO TASSO, whose epic poem Gerusalemme liberata inspired such celebrated composers of the age as Monteverdi, De Wert, and Rovetta.
The programme is introduced by Iain Fenlon, author and Vice-Provost of King's College, Cambridge.
CONSORT OF MUSICKE directed by ANTHONY ROOLEY (lute) with Emma Kirkby (soprano) Evelyn Tubb (soprano) Mary Nichols (alto) Andrew King (tenor) Rufus Muller (tenor) Alan Ewing (bass)
