Every summer 700 boys and girls put down pens and pencils, pick up violins, cellos, recorders and song books and make their way to the Town Hall. This is the time of the Reading Schools' Music Festival when the music makers -none older than 11-entertain music lovers of all ages.

The town is proud of its musical children: one child in four is learning to play a musical instrument. The house is always packed with the critical parents of Reading, who have come to expect an outstandingly high standard. This is the 25th year of the Festival - the first time ever on television.

Match of the Day from Wimbledon: The Lawn Tennis Championships
Highlights of today's outstanding match on the fifth day's play at the All England Club. Jack Kramer comments on the action, which is introduced by Harry Carpenter.

Boycott for Captain?
Geoff Boycott captain of England? To some in cricket it would seem logical; to others, disastrous. The former point to his batting, knowledge and determination; the latter say he is selfish, unsporting and unsuited. Boycott talks about himself and captaincy in a film which examines his technique and his temperament.
