The Embassy
World Professional Snooker Championship From the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
Fourth day
At 10.30 the 'Hurricane' and the 'Whirlwind' will be breezing into the Crucible in what is certain to be one of the most entertaining sessions of the entire championship.
Alex Higgins (5), who completes his match and Jimmy White (11) who starts his, are probably the two most naturally-gifted players in the world. Neal Foulds and Rex Williams, will be doing their level best to upset the odds, always assuming that they themselves have won through in the qualifiers.
At about 2.30 David Vine introduces the first Snooker Break of the championship. He talks to the experts about the game, the rules and the history, and answers viewers' questions on any snooker topic.
At 3.0 Doug Mountjoy and Eddie Charlton begin their sessions.
David Icke introduces over seven hours of uninterrupted coverage. Commentators Ted Lowe Jack Karnehm, Clive Everton

The International Garden Festival, Liverpool
One of Britain's most derelict sites, on the banks of the Mersey, has been transformed into the setting for Liverpool's International Garden Festival, to be opened by the Queen next week. Over 30 countries will be exhibiting their individual gardens and flower displays in the riverside park forged out of rubbish tips and petrol dumps. In less than two years, over three million tons of rubble have been shifted to provide a landscape for a quarter of a million trees, a half-guage steam railway and a magnificent, translucent Festival Hall.
Chris Kelly previews the festival and talks to some of the people who have created what is to be the most prestigious horticultural event in the world this year.
