Ludovic Kennedy introduces this weekly programme on the expanding world of leisure with Jeremy James, Christopher Rainbow.

James Bond's heavy artillery... Francis Chichester talking about the leak that nearly sank his boat in mid-Atlantic ... Brian Nally describing his night with an injured companion on the north face of the Eiger... The Lewes man who said 'We'll always burn the Pope'... The sale of the most expensive piece of furniture in the world... A twelve-metre yacht and a steam engine at speed...
These are a few of the moments recorded by Time Out since April.
Tonight's programme looks back - and forward - at the way people find excitement and pleasure from the other side of life.

On BBC-2 at 10.15 When We Are Married
The well-worn phrase 'agonising reappraisal' perhaps best describes the psychological process of the characters in tonight's play. In this J.B. Priestley comedy, three married couples, who have gathered to celebrate communally their silver weddings, suddenly find that they were not actually married twenty-five years before. This news leads to an evening of shattering readjustment for the Helliwells, the Parkers, and the Soppitts. A strong cast, including Gwendolyn Watts and George A. Cooper, has been assembled.
