Kent, county champions and runners-up in this League last year, will be approaching every match with care and dedication in the hope of going one better in 1971. Northamptonshire are basically a young side and with a new captain in Jim Watts, and the hard-hitting South African Hylton Ackerman, they provide worthy opposition to the county champions.

A denuded crab turned highway-man; an octopus coaxed into playing touch; jawfish which try to swallow each other whole; green turtles fighting a losing battle against the gourmet's love for turtle soup.

These are some of the sea citizens of the Bahaman reefs that a portrait photographer Harry Pederson films every holiday. For the last 20 years between water-ski-ing, swimming, sailing and enjoying the colourful day- and nightlife of these tropical islands Harry and his family have been exploring the underwater world of the coral reefs.

Presented by Bernard Keeffe
with Ruggiero Ricci, William Luff

£150,000 - the approximate value of the violins which the virtuoso Ruggiero Ricci had at his disposal for this programme. Any professional fiddler will say there is something about an old Italian instrument, whether it's the varnish, the wood, or just age. But can a single violin really be worth £30,000?
William Luff, an English violin maker, believes that no one has improved on the basic design as it evolved in Cremona, Italy, in the 17th and 18th centuries, and he bases his designs on the best instruments of Stradivari and Guarneri.
Bernard Keeffe tries to pin down some of the elusive qualities of the great old Italian violins, and Ricci demonstrates the capacities of different instruments, from a 300-year-old Nicolo Amati to a brand new William Luff, in a brilliant set of Paganini variations.

Also taking part Mario Ferrasis, Andrew Hill, Dr Bernard Robinson

Introduced by Arthur Negus
During the last century complicated mechanical toys and musical boxes became very popular with children and adults alike. Today they are rare and very collect-able. We look at some of the automata in the Jack Donovan collection through the eyes of a child.

The one day of the year when the cattle are sold and all the frustrations of winter life on the border are washed away in the strong ale of Hawick turns grimly sour when the borderers learn enough to believe that the cattle buyer is in league with Cessford to rob them of their living.
