The 154th Renewal of the Derby Stakes
Viewers will hear the sound commentary in the National programme by Geoffrey Gilbey and Quintin Gilbey from the Grandstand, Epsom Racecourse, and will see a plan of the course.
Readers are particularly requested to note that in order to allow adequate time before the start of the race the transmission today starts five minutes earlier than usual. This programme will be a repetition of the successful experiment carried out on the occasion of the Grand National: that is to say, still photographs of scenes connected with the race will be accompanied by a commentary.
