Gala v Watsonians
Introduced by NIGEL STARMER-SMITH Saturday saw the re-start of the Scottish League. This all-out attacking match holds the principal interest of the Scottish rugby fan. Watsonians' successes revolve round an attitude of 15-man rugby in which their four-times capped fly-half David Bell is the linchpin. Gala, currently sharing top place in the First Division, are also no slouches where running rugby is concerned. They look to new cap Jim Aitken along with internationals Arthur Brown and Drew Gill to bring the Championship title to Netherdale for the first time.

Country of the Blind
The last of three programmes about Man's conflict with Nature. Narrated by Robert Hardy
In the Volta River basin of West Africa, a million people suffer from onchocerciasis - a disease which causes ' river-blindness ' - and 100,000 of them are partially or totally blind. In 1974 United Nations agencies launched a multi-million dollar campaign to wipe out the blackfly which causes river-blindness and develop the hinterland of seven African countries.
This film follows the course of the campaign and shows what happens when a vast international aid project sets out to change the nature of a territory of some half-million square miles.
