Both Kent and Gloucestershire, though in the top half of the League table, are finding it difficult to stay in touch with the leaders, Lancashire. Kent's defeat by Essex at Aveley on July 20 was a severe blow to their hopes, but all is not yet lost for either side with sixteen points still to be gained from the four remaining matches.

A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the people who live on it

This is the story of a 1,000-mile kayak voyage up the coast of Japan made by ten students: four British, six American. They experienced both the stifling calms of the Inland Sea and the storms of the Pacific, the frenzied excitement of the great Tinjin Festival, and the peace of tiny isolated islands whose inhabitants had never before seen a foreigner of any nationality. They visited the atomic dome at Hiroshima and watched the intense religious ritual of a modern Samurai swords-man. By the end they felt that, though their voyage had only been fleetingly written in the water, what they had learned would not be so soon forgotten.

A film about Electronic Music

Now that the computer has invaded the world of music composition, the traditional music lover feels a growing sense of threat. Unnatural, he says, mechanical. You wouldn't catch Mozart working with computers and tape recorders - or would you? Perhaps the essential problems of the composer don't really change from one age to another. After all, the piano, too, is mechanical, and an electronic valve is no more 'unnatural' than a violin - both are man-made.
This summer the Society for the Promotion of New Music has started work on setting up a National Electronic Music Studio. This programme explains what Electronic Music is about and tries to dispel some of the misconceptions about that computer.

When he first appeared on the scene back in the early 1950s the Teddy Boy was considered a bit of a joke. But the laughter turned to concern as more and more stories appeared in the Press of people attacked in the streets and of vicious gang fights.
Five former Teds - George, Mick, Mike, Len, and Bernie - remember the frustrations and battles of Britain's first 'teenagers.'
