Frank Bough introduces today's matches in the Player's County League
These two matches - the final fixtures for both Lancashire and Hampshire - will almost certainly decide the League Championship title and the destination of the £1,000 first prize. Lancashire have dominated this first season of the new-style competition since the beginning of June, while Hampshire had to wait until August before their abundance of cricketing talent began to pay dividends in both the League and the County championships.

Tonight's film in the series from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the people who live on it tells the story of a family of Canadian Eskimos, the Annanacks. It traces their history from the great famine of nearly a century ago, when the family only survived by resorting to cannibalism, right up to their comparative prosperity today, leading one of the first Eskimo working co-operatives. As well as giving a picture of Eskimo life in Ungava Bay, it also looks at a modern city, Ottawa, through fresh eyes - the eyes of the Annanack family

"The things that we may feel we want to say about young composers have been said about us all. This doesn't mean that necessarily everybody's going to turn out all for the good but at least it's interesting to know that its a universal effect of new ideas of any kind, good or bad"

Sir Michael Tippett talks to four young British composers and draws some conclusions in the course of a reshowing of the introductions to their work first seen in Music Now.

The year is 1914, the setting a chateau behind the French lines before an expected offensive. Pte Dobson is awaiting a court martial at HQ. His crime? Killing a German soldier with an improper weapon, namely a penknife...

"An interesting piece of hair-splitting, almost Jesuitical hair-splitting, about The Hague rules of war and the fine line that divided honour from dishonour" (The Guardian)
"Written with a fine period sense" (Observer)
