England XV v USA
Hard tackling, good handling and positive running are the principal assets of the American ' Eagles'. They have shown on their short tour that what they lack in basics they make up for in effort and enthusiasm. In their final match, the more experienced England side could be in for a few surprises.

In this film Desmond Morris, author of The Naked Ape, takes a zoologist's eye-view of our gestures, postures and movement - devices used within the family of Man as the silent language of day-to-day encounters.

The human animal is a creature of action and many of these actions reflect our changing moods. The manwatcher reveals some of the meanings of the many signals we each unwittingly but effectively flash to the world about us.

Dannie Abse , Welsh poet and doctor, tries to throw light on the nature of poetry. He looks at poetic elements in music - with Alfred Brendel in painting - with Derek Southall in oratory - with his brother Leo Abse , MP
And he talks with four fellow poets: John Wain - professor of poetry at Oxford University
Alan Brownjohn - poetry critic of the New Statesman
Peter Porter - writer
Anthony Thwaite - co-editor of Encounter
