Direct from Park Avenue, Bradford

Frederick Sewards Trueman, self-styled 'T' finest bloody fast bowler that ever drew breath,' has come out of retirement this year to play one-day matches for Derbyshire. With a record 307 Test wickets to his credit and the familiar ferocious glare directed at so many batsmen in the past, who would dare dispute his claim? The confrontation between this great bowler and his fellow Yorkshiremen should provide moments of high drama in what promises to be a very entertaining afternoon's cricket.

Two years ago John Lill was joint winner in the much coveted Tchaikovsky Piano Competition in Moscow. One of the test pieces with which he won his award was the Piano Concerto No 2 in B flat by Brahms. Tonight he plays the same concerto for television. The concert begins with a performance of Brahms's Academic Festival Overture and includes an interview between John Lill and Richard Baker.

To be free and alone above the earth; to be like a bird using the winds to take you ever upwards and on; that is the ambition of man to which only gliding can come near. But when one. man sets out to beat another, to strain his every nerve to fly his sunship higher and further than the next man, then this gloriously exhilarating pastime becomes a fiercely competitive game.

The Sunship Game follows the fortunes of three of the leading glider pilots in America as they compete against each other in the National Sailplane Championship of the USA.

It shows how the whole man, his state of mind, even his personal life becomes focused on his ability to use the winds more skilfully than his competitor; and how, when the competition is in world class, a man's every thought condenses itself into the will to win.

The Ancient Egyptians did not have any science in the modern sense. Though they had some knowledge of mathematics and chemistry their technical talents really lay in building on an enormous scale.
Some of their achievements in this field would still pose problems for us even today and sometimes we still do not know quite how they went about things. But we do know how they carved out the great obelisks like Cleopatra's Needle and set them up miles away from their quarries, using only the simplest of resources and a lot of ingenuity.
