Today's two matches - the opening games of the International Championship - offer a perfect 'curtain-raiser' to the season.
At Cardiff, the England XV will have been desperately keen to avenge the indignities of the past two seasons (Wales won 30-9 in 68/69 and last year they won 17 points to 13 having been 10 points down at half-time).
In Paris, France, the co-holders of the Championship with Wales, take on Scotland in a match which is possibly the most unpredictable fixture in the Championship. Scotland have won three of their last four games in Paris, two in succession-a better record than any other Championship country.

The dramatic story of a multimillionaire who bought an island - but failed to buy its people.

The first Lord Leverhulme, founder of the great soap-and-margarine empire that became today's 'Unilever,' bought the Hebridean islands of Lewis and Harris in 1918 to turn them into a Utopia of enlightened industrial progress; but he ran into head-on opposition from a group of crofters - ex-servicemen who wanted land, not jobs, and who wanted to preserve their unique traditional life and independence against 'the fear of Leverhulme's factory bell.'

Tonight's dramatised documentary film tells the real story of this fundamental conflict and why Leverhulme failed; and brings his grandson, the present Lord Leverhulme, to Lewis to find out for himself the facts behind the legends.

Starring Alex McAvoy as the first Lord Leverhulme with Roy Boutcher, Alex McCrindle, Martyn James, Harvey Scott, James MacKenzie, and members of the Lewis Drama Association
