Well, it was bound to happen sometime. Channel 2's live electronic magazine becomes an open book. Well, the truth is - we haven't decided what to put in it yet. Peter Powell will be on hand to present it. The rest -well, it is live and topical -and the music is current. It will be bright and colourful and loud and ever so slightly vulgar. And Peter will be the second to know what's in it. You'll be the first. So watch it - and wish us luck.

To Be a Matador
Written and narrated by Ian Wooldridge
The dream is the Mercedes, the private plane, endless senoritas; a rags-to-riches fairytale which every year lures thousands of poor young Spaniards to take up the muleta.
The reality is danger, doublecross, injury, heartbreak. The young matadors travel a hard road in a rented suit of lights, fighting rogue bulls in dusty village arenas, infamous as 'the rings of a bad death'. Only a very few succeed.
Franco Cadena , a 23-year-old from Seville, faces his first make-or-break season as a full matador. Will it be death, will it be glory?
Film cameraman NIGEL WALTERS Film editor HOWARD BILLINGHAM Producer CLEM VALLANCE
