Viewers visit Putney where Noel Duckworth and Richard Dimbleby describe the scenes round the boat houses as the crews bring out their boats, launch them, and paddle to the start.
After viewers have seen the start, the race will be followed by means of John Snagge's sound commentary and an animated chart. As the crews shoot Barnes Bridge, viewers go to Mortlake to watch the finish, and the scenes at the boat houses.
Ian Orr-Ewing is at Mortlake to introduce some members of the crews.
