Today at the Stade Colombes in Paris, France (who were the five-nation champions for the last two seasons), had the last chance to redeem their honour and record their first win of the current season. Their sad tally of ten consecutive defeats by the elite of world rugby can hardly have bred the necessary confidence to take on what is acknowledged as the most impressive Welsh team for many seasons. After their crushing dominance of Ireland a fortnight ago, Wales must now be regarded as favourites for the championship.

A series of film reports by Trevor Philpott

The size, population, and industrial structure of West Germany and Britain are so alike that they could be identical twins. But over the past ten years the German twin has grown husky, vigorous, and confident, while the British one remains sickly and fearful of the future.
Why should there be such a difference? What is the secret of the German economic victory? This File examines three German businesses, different in size, scope, and character, but having one thing in common - success.

Gala Performance
An anniversary and a new ballet: thirty-five years on the stage for Dame Margot Fontey , and a gala premiere to commemorate it.
The ballet is Pelleas et Melisande, created to the music of Schoenberg by the famous French choreographer Roland Petit, whose own company celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary this year. It forms part of next Wednesday's gala evening at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in honour of Dame Margot, and in it she herself dances with Rudolf Nureyev.
Release watches the ballet in rehearsal and talks with three of the brightest stars in the world of ballet: Fonteyn, Nureyev and Petit.

Twenty Years On
In 1949 Angus Wilson published his first book, The Wrong Set. This book of short stories was greeted with universal acclaim and proved a significant influence in the years that followed. It has been reprinted now to mark the twentieth anniversary. How much has the writing of fiction in England changed during these years and how does Angus Wilson see his own contribution?
