[Photo caption] Let battle commence: Brazil's Ronaldo and Scotland's Hendry pit more than wits in World Cup 98 Live

World Cup 98 Live 3.30pm BBC1
Scotland face Brazil at Paris's Stade de France in the first of 64 matches to decide if the South Americans retain the trophy they won four years ago in the USA. Scotland's last match in the World Cup finals was against Brazil in 1990 when they lost 1-0 in Italy. They failed to qualify for USA 94 but, since then, manager Craig Brown has fashioned an effective unit with an enviable defensive record. That will be tested by a Brazil team that boasts potential goal-scorers throughout the side from 21-year-old striker, Ronaldo, to left back Roberto Carlos.
The programme begins an hour before kick-off, with coverage of the spectacular opening ceremony and previews of the action ahead.

A series in which Professor Robert Winston examines how the body has evolved.

Puberty is a time of phenomenal change within the human body, as a host of hormones charge through the bloodstream, forcing drastic new developments. Today's programme follows 12-year-old Beatrice over 18 months as she experiences the dramas of puberty.

The Human Body 10.20pm BBC1
Having taken us from conception, through birth to infancy, Professor Winston's journey through the human body has arrived at puberty. And as long as you can ignore some of the cliches and analogies ("puberty is like a roller coaster": cue a windswept Winston on a roller coaster and "if living through puberty feels like a horror story, the villains of the piece are hormones, those chemical messengers beyond our control"), it all makes for interesting viewing.
As well as the by now familiar use of fibre optic cameras, thermal cameras (which provide the unique sight of an erection on television) and slow motion footage, the programme follows Beatrice over 18 months as she leaves childhood and enters adulthood.
