The County Championship Yorkshire v Lancashire
LANCASHIRE, captained by Roger Creed , and with British Lions Fran Cotton, Tony Neary and Billy Beaumont , won the county title for the tenth time last season.
YORKSHIRE, who include internationals Alan Old, Keith Smith and Andy Maxwell , had run them close in a tight struggle in the Northern Group decider.
Any ' Roses' match provides excitement and total commitment and, with Yorkshire out to turn the tables, this game will be no exception.

Greetings from the New World Introduced and conducted by James Loughran
Since its first performance in 1893 Dvorak's famous 9th Symphony in E minor ' From the New World' has remained one of the most popular of all symphonic works. It was composed in New York by a man never happier than at his beautiful country home a few miles from Prague.
JAMES LOUGHRAN, Principal Conductor of the Halle Orchestra , tells the story behind Dvorak's voluntary exile and reveals some surprising facts about the symphony. The second part of this programme, recorded in Manchester's Free Trade Hall, consists of a complete performance of Dvorak's New World symphony given by The Halle Orchestra leader MARTIN MILNER

from the Royal Academy of Arts, London
Mervyn Levy introduces 25 years of British Painting, based on the current exhibition at the Royal Academy, where for the first time this century the cream of British painting has been collected under one roof.
From the Picasso-based art of the early 50s, British painting threads its way through the abstract into the clearer waters of pop and op art, returning more recently to figurative work, a contemporary equivalent of Victorian story-telling painting.
