The John Player Cup Final Leicester v London Irish
Cup-holders Leicester are appearing in their third successive final. Led by British Lion Peter Wheeler, the side has six other English Internationals available for selection including ' Dusty' Hare, who has already kicked some very important goals in this year's competition. Against this formidable line-up London Irish, in their first final, are also led by a British Lion John O'Driscoll. They feel that their mobile pack and speedy backs will give as good as they get, and that in prolific goal-kicker Clive Meanwell they will be able to punish any Leicester mistakes.

A housewife making £500,000 in a year from sand and cyanide ... A ghost town with just one inhabitant making £300 a day from a hole in the ground ... Father and son making an unusual discovery with a metal detector ... It's all to do with gold fever and the new rush along Western Australia's Golden
Mile-once the richest few acres of gold-bearing country in the world.

' I don't want to dust and polish. And I don't want to work on a farm. I want to write poetry, great poetry, as great as Shakespeare.'
Those are the words of 16-year-old Janie as she comes to the end of a seven-year stay at an Aberdeenshire orphanage. The story of Janie is the story of the writer Jessie Kesson whose remarkable autobiographical novel The White Bird Passes is republished tomorrow.
The first part of the programme is a dramatisation of her childhood as described in the novel; a childhood of poverty, street games, vice, gossip, the squalor of the slum tenement and the rigours of an orphanage, all of which she survived with extraordinary resilience.
In the second part JESSIE KESSON , as she is today, relates her unusual upbringing to her distinctive work as a writer and her task as a social worker in London. featuring with IRENE SUNTERS , JEAN FAULDS
