England under-23 v France under-23
The French have never before produced a national side in this age group, but their indigenous flair and speed and handling skill should test the England side which has just returned home from an undefeated tour of Canada.

What is a jungle? How do its creatures find a place to live in what appears to be an impenetrable green tangle? The forests of Costa Rica provide some intriguing answers. Agoutis, armadillos, scorpions and spiders co-exist on the dark forest floor, while high above bromeliad plants sit on the trees sheltering a secret world within. Huge, strangling fig trees rely for existence on wasps as small as match-heads; ants hide in potato ferns, and paper wasps show an ingenious way of keeping dry. In this haunt of bellbird and howler monkey lives that most exotic of jungle birds the resplendent quetzal, sacred to the Mayas. Rarely seen and perhaps filmed for the first time, it moves through a forest that weeps its own rain. Narrated and produced by Barry Paine.

The Changing of the Avant-Garde Written and narrated by Edwin Mullins
At the avant-garde art festival in Kassel, Germany, this summer, an American artist sank a brass rod one kilometre deep into the .ground. A fellow contributor sailed a vast paper-boat from Bremen and beached it in the park.
Is this conceptual art at its best - or is the public being taken for a ride? What is avant-garde art? Do we need it?
In this film, EDWIN MULLINS traces key developments in the role of the avant-garde over the last five centuries, from Renaissance Florence to the present day, exploring the work of artists as varied as Giotto, Titian, Manet, Duchamp and contemporary artist Nam June ! Paik.
