International Championship 1975 France v Scotland; Wales v England Scotland and Wales are the only undefeated sides in this year's championship and both will have to play at their best today to maintain the situation. In Paris the Scots face the French who, a fortnight ago at Twickenham, demonstrated the running and handling skills at which they can be supreme; while the Welsh take on an England side with much latent talent that must surely emerge before the season's end.

Introduced by Melvyn Bragg Toback's Gambler
A film about the New York College lecturer and occasional sports-writer who has written the story and the script of Karel Reisz 's new film The Gambler, starring James Caan. MELVYN BRAGG talked to JAMES TOBACK in New York.
The Night Mare
In 1782 a new painting by the Swiss artist Henry Fuseli shocked the Royal Academy. The painting is about a dream. A woman sprawled on a bed with a goblin squatting on her chest and a horse peering through the window. It was called the Night Mare and has disturbed spectators ever since. This month an exhibition of Fuseli's work opens at the Tate Gallery and EDWIN MULLINS asked psychiatrist and writer ANTHONY STORR for some clues to the personality behind these extraordinary images.
9.40 Knots
Based on the book by R. D. LAING
He is a well-known and controversial figure in psychiatry and his previous books have been on that subject. Since Knots is a very simple text, many people were puzzled as to what they should make of this one.
Laing says, ' I have always tried to write literature, regardless of what people thought I was doing ... Several people have said that they found it a relief to see something they recognised in their lives. It turns some of the agony into humour.'
Knots was adapted for the stage by EDWARD PETHERBRIDGE for the ACTORS' COMPANY and the film is directed by DAVID i. MUNRO. Cast: CAROLINE BLAKISTON

Fulton Mackay as Alf and ' We ran straight into a German patrol. They put their grenades right in the middle of us. I don' remember falling or anything, just coming to and trying to scrape the mud out of my eyes. And then something hit me on the back, high up, near the shoulder. It was a boot, a British Army boot ... and somebody's foot was still in it ...'
