Airport. 3: Arrival
A second chance to see this series of three programmes in which reporter Harold Williamson meets the men and women who get 800 aircraft and 80,000 passengers in and out of Heathrow every day.
The final programme joins a night flight from Bombay. Flights from India must start in the middle of the night to reach Heathrow in daylight. In Bombay there is no anti-noise lobby. We meet an air hostess who will lose her job if she marries, English ramblers who survived an attack by leeches on Annapurna, and an Indian film star who grew up in Richmond. Film editor PAUL FOXALL

England XV v The Argentines
For the Argentines the highlight of their tour took place yesterday when they played an England XV at Twickenham.
While for captain HUGO PORTA and his players it was a proud and emotional experience, the English players must have remembered with some foreboding the draw ' The Pumas' gained against France last year and the last-minute one-point defeat by Wales in 1976. Commentator at Twickenham

Wild Flower Safari
Preparing 2,000 drawings and paintings for a book on alpine flowers means three years' hard work, during which time you must expect to hike up and down mountains, and sketch some 30 different species of wild flowers every day. Although in her early 60s, Marjorie Blarney works 12 to 15 hours daily - painting flowers. We journey with her and her husband as they travel through the British Isles, the Dordogne and the Pyrenees, searching for wild flowers and drawing and photographing the rarer specimens where they grow.
In little over ten years, from being a farmer's wife she has become one of this country's leading botanical illustrators.
