Direct from Worcester

Worcester's famous ground, overlooked by the magnificent cathedral, provides the setting for today's match between two counties who have both made a good start in the League.
Richard Gilliat leads a Hampshire side which includes the West Indian Roya Marshall and the brilliant South African Barry Richards.
Worcestershire finished sixth in this competition last year and their well-balanced side which includes Basil D'Oliveira could well improve their position in 1971.

Three intrepid aeronauts take off in a balloon from the grounds of Blenheim Palace. As they float over the English countryside in their antique craft they tell the dramatic, odd and sometimes hilarious story of ballooning- and of the men who have drifted in these gay silken bubbles at the mercy of the winds in the magic of free flight.
Written by Douglas Botting
"Lively history in a series which includes many of the most enterprising and beautifully photographed documentaries on television" (Daily Telegraph)

Introduced by Arthur Negus
Dorothy Doughty was a porcelain designer and modeller. Her pieces are now collected as avidly as those from factories like Meissen, Chelsea and Derby. The prices fetched by some of her models match those from these famous factories, and yet they are not antiques: they were made during this century.
Commentary by Desmond Hawkins
