Introduced by Frank Bough

This 'local derby' between two sides whose position in the League Table shows how proficient they are in one-day matches, should provide a thrilling encounter.
Essex, a young side full of enthusiasm, attack from the start and the fifty runs scored by Keith Boyce in twenty-three minutes against Lancashire at the start of the series is setting the pace in the BBC-2's fastest fifty award.
Though Kent will be without the services of Colin Cowdrey, injured in a Sunday game against Glamorgan in May, he will be attending the match as a BBC commentator to add- his expert opinion on the play and players.

A new version for the 1960s of the Mussorgsky-Ravel Pictures at an Exhibition
with the London Symphony Orchestra
Leader, John Georgiadis
Conducted by Charles Mackerras

In 1874 Mussorgsky wrote a set of piano pieces inspired by some of the pictures in a memorial exhibition of the work of his friend Victor Hartmann. Later Ravel produced an orchestral version which has become a regular part of the concert repertoire. This film is an attempt at a contemporary version: a suite for moving pictures and orchestra.

With both coming along earlier, interviewer Gerald Harrison asks children from schools at Hull in Yorkshire and Newport in Monmouthshire about their views.
from the North

Take a subject as old as Adam and Eve; subject it to the perceptive eyes of children between the ages of four and eleven; and be prepared for views both bold and hilarious. Most of the children Gerald Harrison talks to in Hull and Newport are pretty certain that marriage is here to stay, whatever changes a permissive society may allow; but it is their views of the path to the altar that make this programme.
