Introduced by Richard Johnson.
The mob in Julius Caesar changes its allegiance from Pompey to Caesar, from Caesar to Brutus, from Brutus to Antony. The last change is the most surprising, the most dangerous, and the most exciting.

Outside broadcast cameras visit the Westover Ice Rink in Bournemouth to watch children learning to skate and working for proficiency tests.
Commentator, John Neal General Manager of the Rink and organiser of the children's classes

These classes aim to provide children up to the age of sixteen with a grounding in the necessary rudiments of skating. The pupils can enter for three graded proficiency tests, for which they are awarded certificates, and when they have obtained these they are ready to go ahead with preparation for the more difficult national tests.
Mr. Neal has found that children learn much better and more quickly en masse than with individual tuition.
Naturally they do not all learn at the same rate, some taking much longer than others to get balance and coordination, but generally speaking the younger the child the quicker he or she learns, and the classes usually include several three- and four-year-olds.
