In their long history the Scottish Club Championship is an honour that has so far eluded Edinburgh Wanderers. Their opponents today, West of Scotland, have been runners-up for the past two years. At the moment the clubs are first and second respectively, so the result of today's match is all-important.
Both teams are noted for the size and strength of their forwards and while the Glasgow side, 'West,' include the talents of Scottish International forwards Gordon Brown and Sandy Carmichael, the Wanderers pack is led by the veteran ex-Scots back row forward John Douglas. With so much at stake and two evenly balanced sides this is looked forward to as one of the great club contests of the season.

In 1958 two Danish frogmen found part of a ship's rib on the bottom of Roskilde Fjord. It turned out to be part of a barrier of five Viking ships sunk in the eleventh century to stop raiders getting up the fjord. By a brilliant feat of excavation these ships have now been lifted and restored. Among them was the first-ever known example of a deep-sea trader, the 'sea-bison,' which made possible the most remarkable feat of colonisation of the Middle Ages, the Norse occupation of Greenland.

Chronicle tells the story of Viking Greenland and the Danish excavation which enables us to know at last what sort of ship those hardy adventurers sailed in.
Written and narrated by Magnus Magnusson

Life in Paris at the closing stages of World War II was far from gay and the overwhelming air of depression which shrouded the city is brilliantly captured in this bitter-sweet love story about an American soldier and a homeless French girl.
