Kabuki from Japan
A 'flower path' across the stalls of a theatre, men young and old disguised to play the parts of women, lavish costumes, dance and drama. A rare opportunity to see the work of traditional Japanese Kabuki playing on their first visit to this country at London's Sadler's Wells.

The Man Who Read About His Death
One morning last year painter Gerald Wilde woke up to read his own obituary. He had been a legendary eccentric, hailed by some as an artist of genius, now it seemed, he was dead. Suddenly his friends and admirers - among them the art critic David Sylvester - were shocked into memories of Wilde the man and the artist.

A Modern Don Juan
John Berger, best known for his writings and television programmes about art and artists, talks about his new book, a novel called G. Set in Europe in the years before World War I, it investigates the writer's task as well as the story he has to tell.

The Next World Heavyweight Champion
'Champions live and die... however hard you step in the sand, when the tide comes in it just wash them footsteps away, so being a titleholder don't mean that much. But if you're a real man, your children and grandchildren become a part of you so you never die. That's what I want to do: become George Foreman, the Man who never dies.'
Foreman, the little-known fighter who is tipped as the successor to Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier

Cricket: England v Australia
Richie Benaud introduces the story and highlights of today's play.

Also: a glimpse into the skill of a world-championship bowls player... and a topical guest for Welland and Wooldridge to question.
