for the BBC-2 Trophy
Wigan (blue Jerseys) v. Leigh (cherry and white hoops)

These two teams are great rivals. Both come from the same part of Lancashire, and already this season have had tremendous clashes. Wigan, led by Eric Ashton, as manager-player-coach, come up against Leigh who are led by Alex Murphy, also manager-player-coach. Both have played many times for Great Britain. This match should be one of the highlights of the whole BBC-2 Floodlit Rugby League series.

Wherever it's happening - the television teams of Europe are there reporting and commenting. How do they see us - the others - themselves? Europa supplements and questions the home television diet by bringing each week 'The World Through European Eyes.'

Tonight in Europe we look at death. The racket, the ritual, and refrigerated resurrection.
