There are 21 international sports in this year's Olympics; all originally national sports with many owing their world popularity to television coverage. Television is the hope for many other local sports to become Olympic events of the future - sheep shearing, ice sailing, tractor pulling... Worldwide looks at some unusual aspirants in different parts of the world as well as an Olympic event which is not greatly publicised - The Handicapped Games. Two weeks after Montreal, 1,700 athletes - all disabled - from 53 countries will match their skills in Toronto.

A series of programmes made specially for audiences in the BBC regions and now seen for the first time countrywide.
Tonight, from BBC Scotland, Current Account's "Oilscape with Figures"

The small Orkney island of Flotta, in Scapa Flow, was barely managing to survive with a population of 82 until the oilmen came. A thousand strangers were imported to build a huge tanker terminal for the American Occidental Group: and island life was threatened in a different way.

Occidental took whole-page advertisements in national newspapers to proclaim how well they integrated with Flotta. Kenneth Cargill sets out to find the islanders' version of the story.
