Cardiff v The Barbarians and The Melrose Sevens
The Barbarians, as the most famous rugby club in the world, field a side liberally sprinkled with international players for the highlight of their Easter tour of Wales. Cardiff have won this fixture narrowly on the last three occasions and have no need to fear the abilities of their illustrious opponents.
Rugby's oldest seven-a-side tournament is held on the second Saturday in April at the home of the Melrose club, the picturesque - Greenyards '. Scotland's principal rugby clubs, together with guest sides, Loughborough Colleges and London Scottish, battle it out this year for a prized Melrose medal.

Namib ... Strange Creatures of the Skeleton Coast
By day lizards dance, spiders turn cartwheels, beetles stand on their heads to drink. At night, to a chorus of barking geckos, legless lizards and golden moles go hunting.
Though politicians may argue about who owns South Western Africa, few men venture into the harsh yet hauntingly beautiful landscape of the Namib Desert. It is one of the bleakest spots on earth, where drifting dunes and gravel plains stretch along the notorious Skeleton Coast. The shifting sands are the home of one of the world's strangest communities of animals.

In tonight's programme he talks to Melvyn Bragg about his life as a revolutionary, academic and writer; to illustrate his work there are three dramatisations of his stories by HUGH LEONARD.

starring
Alain Delon , Jeanne Moreau with Michel Lonsdale , Juliet Berto
A Sunday-night season of feature films screened for the first time on British television - many of them new to this country - starts with Joseph Losey 's latest film which opens at a West End cinema tomorrow.
Mr Klein won Losey the French Cinema Industry's award for best director, as well as best film of 1976. Set in Paris in 1942, it concerns a French antique dealer who is making a fortune buying works of art from Jews forced to flee the country. One day, he is mystified to receive a Jewish newspaper: gradually, he realises that someone else is using his identity. Outraged, he sets out to uncover the ' other' Mr Klein.
