REGIONAL PROGRAMME

Tonight's edition of the showbusiness panel quiz game pits Ben Onwukwe from London's Burning and Simon London of the Daily Mirror against comedy actor Roy Hudd and stand-up comic Rhona Cameron. Hosted by Mike Smith.

Fancy chancing an arm at bodging? Or at duck herding, goat milking or flax spinning? These are some of the rural crafts that contestants have to tackle in this new six-part game show presented by Nick Owen.
Each week some countryside tasks are made to look deceptively simple by experts.
Then two celebrity-led teams of "townies" have a go themselves. Some of the challenges are straightforward, modern activities like tractor loading; for the more traditional or obscure skills and crafts, the history and techniques involved are explained.
Liza Goddard and Emlyn Hughes are the team leaders in this first programme, and their tasks include sheep shearing, slate splitting, field archery and horse ploughing.

"If the baby comes out and looks a 'goer', we will try for it" says a doctor to a woman who is 22 weeks pregnant and starting contractions.
In tonight's programme, Salvaging Babies, Sarah Barclay examines whether it is miraculous or madness to try to save babies born so prematurely that they fall within the legal limit for abortion. She talks to those doctors who argue that too many of those who survive are likely to be seriously damaged and also to the parents of a premature baby who died because it was not hospital policy to try to save babies under 24 weeks.
