Direct from Gillingham.

Kent's last appearance in the John Player League was made memorable by a sparkling half-century by John Shepherd in only 30 balls. A fast 50 by any of the Kent batsmen today against a Gloucestershire attack would be a feat well worth watching.

Chimpanzees can appear quite human through their actions and expressions, which are often similar to ours. Why, then, have they not become even more human than they are?
In this fascinating film a team of scientists from the University of Amsterdam study the social structure of wild chimpanzees in Guinea and conduct some experiments with them. What, for example, will be the chimps' reaction to a stuffed leopard? The answer is provided in one of the most remarkable sequences ever shown in this series.
