A series of ten programmes with DAVID BLAKE and LINDA REILLY 1: Getting Down to Business
Just as setting up a record company takes more than a musical ear, launching a successful new magazine needs more than a knowledge of publishing. Finance, organisation and flair are vital, as is knowing what your competitors are doing.

Investigates, Discovers, Questions This week:
Multi-Cultured Talk Swap
'It's not colour prejudice -I just find Asians are so often rude.'
' As soon as English people see my face, they don't want to understand.'
Most of us know it's more difficult to get along in a relaxed way with people from a different ethnic group. But do we recognise why this is? Jack Pizzey investigates the hidden - and often unrecognised - mechanisms of misunderstanding with film of everyday situations: cashing a cheque, a job interview and a parent/teacher meeting. Each reveals how an immigrant's different way of using English - emphasis, tone, even use and order of words-can be a recurring source of misunderstandings, even bad temper. If not recognised as such, these irritations can reinforce prejudice and suspicions on both sides.

for the BBC2 Trophy Hull KR v Castleford
Castleford are the most successful side in the competition, having won the trophy four times, and they have started this season in great form. Hull KR won the Floodlit Trophy in 1977 and the First Division League Championship in 1978, and on their home ground are extremely difficult to beat. With those ingredients this should be one of the hardest and most entertaining matches of the series.
Highlights of the match played earlier this evening at Craven Park. Introduced by richard DUCKENFIELD
