This week Scotland's competitors are Peter Hetherington with Nell, Tom Watson with Mirk, David McTeir with Garry
Top sheepdogs sometimes make trial work look deceptively easy. To see how much skill and patience is required, each week Phil Drabble visits a farm in North Wales and watches the training of a young dog from his initial meeting with sheep to his first attempt at a trial course.

Sam Smith : Genuine England
An introduction to the magical world of a wood-sculptor: vividly painted figures of animals, boats, lion-tamers, bare-bosomed ladies, pantomime characters - many of them curiously articulated like puppets. Around his delightful, sometimes uncanny creations, SAM SMITH weaves adult fantasies mixed with the fond memories of his own childhood.
