For the first time in the six-year run of the series, Rugby Special this evening features the highlights of one of Ireland's Inter-Provincial matches. And it is fitting, on the occasion of such a milestone, that today's game will decide the 1970-71 Inter-Provincial Championship, with Ulster, the reigning champions, defending their title against last season's runners-up.

The Dreamwalkers ...is how Idries Shah sums up the everyday lives of people in Britain today, in this series of highly personal films.

Idries Shah, writer and traveller, descendant of the prophet Mahomet, sees our Western way of life through eyes trained in the Oriental Sufi tradition, which is based on a thousand years of understanding of human behaviour. In this film, with the help of Dr William Sargant, the celebrated psychiatrist, John Kermisch, late of the American Rand Corporation, and Marty Feldman, the comedian, he takes a concerned look at the sleepwalking society he finds around him, and offers some suggestions for change.

Sergei Eisenstein returned to Russia in 1932 after the collapse of his Mexican film project with Upton Sinclair and threw himself vigorously into his new work - this simple story about a boy who organises his young friends to guard a farm against saboteurs and who is himself murdered by one of them, his own father.

Illness and political pressure prevented Eisenstein from completing the film, and the negative was apparently destroyed by German bombing in 1941. This version has been compiled from the fragments of the film preserved by Eisenstein's wife, with a score based on Prokofiev's Sixth Symphony. It reveals a personal and challenging film which would have occupied an important place alongside Ivan the Terrible and Battleship Potemkin.
