Ireland v South Africa; Scotland v France (Colour)
The current Rugby Union season reaches a significant mid-point today, with the touring Springboks due to play Ireland in Dublin, and Scotland-fresh from their famous victory over those same Springboks in November-meeting France at Murrayfield in the opening match of this season's Five Nations Championship.

Four hundred and fifty years ago the Old World and the New stood face to face-the Aztec emperor Montezuma with his vast military civilisation versus the Spaniard Hernan Cortes and a mere 400 men. Cortes won, but this astonishing victory would have been impossible but for the unbelievable fact that Montezuma saw Cortes as his god, the Feathered Serpent Quetzalcoatl.

The first of two programmes in which this remarkable international artist performs his own compositions
Charles Aznavour is a determined individualist who for the last 20 years has sung only songs that he had either written or composed himself. They're personal songs, songs about love, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes funny, sometimes sexy. 'For every love there is a song' he jokes with his audience. 'I must have written... more than 1,000 songs.'
With Alyn Ainsworth and his Orchestra
