A programme for children at home
Today's story: "Epaminondas" retold by Eve Merriam
(Repeated on BBC-1 and BBC Wales at 4.20 p.m.)
(Colour)
(to 11.20)
Ten programmes in which some of Britain's finest helmsmen show how dinghy sailors and yachtsmen can get more pleasure from their sport.
Whether you graduate to them from dinghies or come to them as a novice you will find it difficult to choose from the bewildering variety of cruisers on the market.
Even when you have chosen a boat that suits your pocket and your sailing requirements, you are likely to face other problems. You may need some tuition in learning to handle her, you will certainly have to find a suitable berth for her, and in some of the crowded yachting centres of the south, you may decide to enter the new environment of the marina.
Introduced by Jack Knights

This week: Hogg's Honour
'We cannot blame anyone else, even the Government, if we drop each his own pinch of incense on the altar of Beelzebub...' says Quintin Hogg-Member of Parliament, barrister, poet, and family man. Having condemned the individual as a sinner, he moves on to society: 'If the country lacks discipline, if it ceases to believe in decency, if it ceases to worship at the shrine of honesty and truth, if its women lack modesty and its men lack courage-it's no good laying the blame on ministers, or politicians, or parliaments.'
Many, no doubt, would agree with the ex-Lord Hailsham. Others believe, no less firmly, that Quintin Hogg and his followers, though perhaps they are right in the diagnosis of society's ills, are wrong about the cures they prescribe. This week, in the Man Alive studio Quintin Hogg discusses the morals, manners, and fashions prevalent in art and public and family life in Britain today -and explains the principles of Hogg's Honour.
