When England last played Australia at Twickenham in 1967, the Wallabies won by 23 points to 11. While their more recent results at international level have been disappointing their work rate and dedication in the early matches of the present Tour have shown that England will have to pull out all the stops this afternoon to gain revenge.

with special guest John Bird
Introduced by Melvyn Bragg and featuring some of the personalities and activities that are thriving in the city of Liverpool today, ten years after the birth of the 'Liverpool scene'. The programme is linked by a conversation with four writers who come from the city, but now spend most of their time away from it:
Alun Owen
'...the way people talk in that city: it's jaunty, elegant, vulgar, earthy, precise. I wanted to use it. I did, and it gave me a freedom.'
Ted Whitehead
'...and by the way, it's important to recognise that the explosion of pop culture in the early 60s happened because of an initial impetus in a Northern provincial town...'
Neville Smith
'Liverpool is like New York, it's full of bit players...'
Roger McGough
'But Liverpool is still a very puritanical city compared with other places...'
The programme will include, from the stage of the Everyman Theatre, "Soft or a Girl"
