The Bulls of Pamplona
This week is festival time in Pamplona, Spain, and every morning at seven o'clock the bulls are let loose in the streets. What happens then is a tale of bravado, folly, and comedy.

The World of Tommy Simpson
At one end of cycling is the amateur club... and at the other is the tough, competitive world of professional road-racing, epitomised by the current Tour de France. This is the world of Tommy Simpson, the young Northerner who a few years ago impulsively set off to turn professional on the Continent, and now ranks himself among the world's top six. Simpson talks frankly about his new world: its big-business atmosphere, its physical and mental demands, its earnings, and its perennial rumours of doping and fixed races.
