The Bing Crosby Cup Great Britain v USA
Bing Crosby and Henry Longhurst introduce the seventh match in this series especially recorded for BBC2. Featuring Tony Jacklin and James Hunt v Johnny Miller and Admiral Alan Shepard
Astronaut ALAN SHEPARD played the most publicised golf shot ever - on the surface of the moon, but World Motor Racing Champion JAMES HUNT aims to bring him down to earth in this match. A win for the Americans would clinch the series for them-they lead by five matches to one.
PETER ALLISS provides the commentary on this four-ball match which is played over nine selected holes of the King's Course at Gleneagles Hotel.

The fifth of six programmes in The Warrior's Return by BERYL BAINBRIDGE , with A fugitive from marriage, Annie Besant became celebrated as atheist, free-thinker and leader of the match girls' strike. Then at the height of her fame, she ' shot new arrows into the air'. This time her inspiration came from the East, from people the conventional world thought eccentric.

The Cultural Common Market: 2 Peter Stein and The Schaubuhne
Next week, Germany's best theatre company is coming to London for the first time.
In the 50s and 60s it was obligatory for theatre fans and critics from all over Germany to make the pilgrimage to East Berlin to see each new production of Brecht's Berliner Ensemble. Now, just across the wall, Die Schaubuhne, a young and politically committed theatre co-operative, has by general international consensus replaced the Berliner Ensemble as the finest German company. It director, PETER STEIN , has been hailed as a theatrical genius. His inventive and brilliant productions of Ibsen's Peer Gynt and Gorki's Summerfolk have made theatrical history. At present, Stein has hired a gigantic film studio for a Shakespeare Project lasting over two evenings-a visually stunning recreation of the Elizabethan environment. With extracts from Summerfolk and Shakespeare's Memory.
