The start of a series: a new concept of competitive golf on film.

Jacklin, 26, Britain's brilliant winner of this year's US Open, meets America's Palmer, 41, the greatest personality of modern golf, over 18 outstanding holes on Britain's classic seaside links.

Tonight:
The Road Hole at St Andrews: 466 yards, par 4. Has been called the world's greatest hole; scene of countless championship disasters; the infamous road running behind the green.
'Bruce's Castle' at Turnberry: 475 yards, par 4. Britain's most spectacular seaside hole: a tiny tee perched so precariously over the rocks that some are afraid to play off it.
The 'Redan' at North Berwick: 195 yards, par 3. One of golf's most historic short holes; copied on the National Links in America with its sloping, angled green.
The 'Railway' at Troon: 480 yards, par 5. 'Possibly the toughest 480 yards of golf on earth' said Henry Cotton; hit it on to the railway on the right, and you're out of bounds.
The 15th at Turnberry: 220 yards, par 3. Some say the best short hole in Britain; hold on the green or you're in trouble.
'The Cardinal' at Prestwick: 505 yards, par 5. One of the world's biggest bunkers, its face filled with railway sleepers; typical of the difficulty and chance of the Open Championship's birthplace.

The British censorship station at Bermuda, December 1940.
An intercepted letter, giving details of allied shipping in New York harbour, signed, innocently enough, 'Joe.'
The actions of an alert censor, and tests carried out on the letter in the censorship laboratories, confirmed British suspicions that 'Joe' was a member of a German spy ring working in the United States. Both the British and the Americans were anxious to break the ring. But first, they needed to establish the identity of 'Joe.'
