Gloucestershire's success in the County Championship has been based on the combined strengths of these two West Country rivals. Bristol can call on three full internationals, their captain Ken Plummer, Mike Rafter and Alan Morley, as well as three of the Young England team that made a highly successful tour of Canada during the summer.
Gloucester, who recently made an unbeaten tour of the USA, are led this season by John Watkins, one of three England players together with Mike Burton and Peter Butler. Commentator at the Memorial Ground Nigel Starmer-Smith.

Mr Beesley 's Secret Garden
The first of six programmes on the wildlife of contrasting regions made by Europe's best wildlife cameramen.
The semi-detached suburban garden belonging to John and Valerie Beesley in Bristol is in no way exceptional. But this programme - the result of two years' filming by specialist cameramen-is a safari down their garden path that is full of surprises: where strange creatures swim on the surface of leaves, where wasps hatch from the mummified bodies of aphids and fox cubs gambol on the lawn. A garden has several times as many kinds of plant as the richest woodland - and that leads to a greater variety of animal life. After this exploration of the way your garden grows, converting the chemicals of the soil into foods for birds and mammals, it will never seem the same again. Narrated by BARRY PAINE

by Leo Tolstoy
Dramatised in 10 parts by Donald Wilson
Starring Nicola Pagett, Stuart Wilson

'Happy families are all alike: every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.' Tolstoy's great novel begins with these words and the family we meet first - that of Stiva Oblonsky - is apparently of the second kind. But Stiva's sister Anna is travelling from St Petersburg to Moscow, so the unhappiness may be only temporary.
