In Ulster the term ' road racing' means exactly that - racing on ordinary country roads at speeds of up to 180mph on home-built motorbikes for precious little reward.

The John Player Cup Final Leicester v Gosforth from Twickenham
These two clubs have dominated this competition for the last six years. Leicester, in a record fourth consecutive final, are determined to end their centenary season with a hat-trick of cup wins. Despite the presence in the Leicester side of six England internationals, led by Peter Wheeler , they will be hard-pressed by Gosforth who have also won the cup twice.
With the guiding hand of evergreen Malcolm Young and fly-half David Johnson behind a powerful pack, including Steve Bainbridge and captain Colin White , Gosforth will provide the sternest opposition of the season to Leicester.

The first of eight programmes. Tonight Bernard Levin talks to John Osborne
It is 25 years since JOHN OSBORNE 'S Look Back in Anger was acclaimed as a ' minor miracle', full of ' qualities one had despaired of ever seeing on the stage '.
(KENNETH TYNAN )
From this beginning as the ' angry young man', Osborne's contribution to the theatre has spanned a quarter of a century and over two dozen plays. Tonight he looks back with BERNARD LEVIN , who on separate occasions has said of his work: original, symbolic, subtle, dignified, profound ', ' ... a ramshackle, top-heavy and profoundly unsatisfying play'.

' Rene Clair is the French cinema,' one critic wrote in the 40s, and few people would have disagreed. It seems a surprising judgment now since Clair's reputation suffered a steep decline while other veteran film-makers, such as Renoir and Came, grew in esteem and the New Wave stole the limelight.
Clair died earlier this year at the age of 82, still the only man of the cinema to have been elected to the Académie Frangaise. Gavin Millar introduces two of his most famous films and offers a reminder of just why he was, for a whole generation, the epitome of Gallic wit, elegance and charm,

starring
Raymond Cordy , Henri Marchand Rene Clair was one of the outstanding figures of the cinema. Richly inventive and with a genius for comedy, he was the first director to make talking pictures an art form. A nous la liberty, made in 1931, for all its slapstick and burlesque, presents a chilling picture of man reduced to an automaton by the products of his own invention. A major influence on Chaplin's Modern Times, it is still relevant after 50 years.
Written and directed by RENt CLAIR . Films: page 17
(A French film with English sub-titles)

Clair thought of himself as a screenwriter as well as a director. He put his stamp on French screen comedy in the 20s and 30s with such classics as The Italian Straw Hat , Sous les toits de Paris, Le Million and Le quatorze juillet, all of which he wrote or adapted himself. When the war came he went to Hollywood, but, like so many other Europeans used to a personal cinema, found their methods strange. He returned to France after the war, and Le silence est d'or, Les Belles de nuit and Porte des Lilas - about his beloved Paris -showed all his old command of sentimental irony.
Gavin Millar talks to colleagues and stars who worked with him: Leslie Caron , Gina Lollobrigida , Jean-Pierre Cassel , directors Claude Autant-Lara and Michel Boisrond.
With extracts from 40 years of his films.
