The John Player League Kent v Yorkshire
Kent met Yorkshire last season at Scarborough and although John Hampshire scored a magnificent 86 for the Northern team, Kent not only won but went on to become the League Champions. Kent are in good form this season and Yorkshire will have to fight hard if they are to get the points.

Botany At Bay
Bob Raymond , veteran Australian film-maker, investigates a tantalising continent where seeds grow only after they have been scorched by flames and blue-barked gum trees soar into the bluer sky.
While filming deep forests and creatures never before known to science, he raises a vital question: Will our descendants find only fossil trees where once there bloomed Australia's green land?
Producer ROBERT RAYMOND , Opus Films Series editors MICHAEL ANDREWS and ANTHONY ISAACS

A film written, directed and narrated by Peter Watkins

Death; sex; and the total isolation of the individual: in Edvard Munch's work up to his mental breakdown in 1908 all three are merged.

It is this merging of the themes of love, death, jealousy and despair in the Norwegian artist's early life and artistic development that Peter Watkins explores in his film. He captures the claustrophobia of the age in an impressionistic style which mirrors exactly the work and anxieties, the pains and passions of this highly controversial painter, as he strove to express a greater understanding of the human psyche.

Co-production between the Swedish and Norwegian Broadcasting Corporations
(A cinema version of the television film first shown last year)
(Expressionism: the new art movement next Tues BBC2, 10.45.)
