This afternoon's coverage features the climax of the semi-finals.
Introduced by Harry Carpenter
with Peter Woods; Weather
Karl Marx predicted under capitalism the condition of the working classes could only become worse. Yet by the mid-20th century it seemed Marx was wrong. Wages rose, full employment was achieved, and the working man prospered under capitalism.
But today, with unemployment climbing towards the 1,000,000 mark, and redundancy commonplace, was Marx right after all? Has capitalism lost its 'Human Face'?
Presented by Brian Widlake
With Robert McKenzie, Paul Griffiths, David Taylor
with Percy Thrower from The Magnolias, Bomere Heath, Shropshire.
In his own garden Percy Thrower deals with bulb planting and the taking of geranium and fuchsia cuttings.
A documentary film based on Singing the Fishing by Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger and Charles Parker which won the Italian Press Association Award for Radio Documentary, Italia 1960.
This new film takes the music and voices of a much-praised radio ballad and sets them against action film - new and old - to tell the story of the rise and decline of the herring industry, which formed the fishing communities on the east coast of Scotland and England.
From the hard and brutal days of sail through technical revolution, depression and war, to the conservation debate of the 70s.
With Ewan MacColl, A.L. Lloyd, Ian Campbell and Peggy Seeger

I Love Leeds
When Welland joined Sport Two, he described himself in Radio Times as 'a rabid Leeds United supporter' - surprisingly for a Lancastrian, whose own football was played under Rugby rules. Tonight he meets the Leeds United players on and off the field.
After Munich... Grasmere
As the echo of the Olympic Games dies, Arthur Hopcraft, journalist and playwright, looks at their antithesis: the Grasmere Sports.
