Motor Racing The Monaco Grand Prix
A pleasant place to watch motor racing, although local shopkeepers have complained that the noise affects trade on Sundays.... and no stamps with petrol.
MURRAY WALKER and JAMES HUNT
speak to you from Europe's tidiest pavement.
Cricket The John Player League Some years ago dripping water stopped play at Monaco when a hotel kitchen caught fire and held up the start of the Grand Prix. A reciprocal gesture at the cricket today would not be appreciated.
CHRISTOPHER MARTIN-JENKINS and PETER WALKER are on hand. Show Jumping from Hickstead
The Dubai Cup They say you can take a horse to water and for 110,000 you can make it jump. That staggering incentive will doubtless bring the best out in man and beast. RAYMOND BROOKS-WARD and STEPHEN HADLEY comment for the love of it.
Racing Prix du Jockey Club The 'prix' is £87,000. Stalls open at 3.30.
PETER O'SULLEVAN at Chantilly.
Moto-cross The British 250cc Grand Prix
When there's a lull in the cricket, motor sport of the two wheel variety from Newbury provides the other noisy bookend.

Alice and Reggie, who don't know each other, find themselves booked into the flat in the same week. A mistake has obviously been made - or has it?

A report by Trevor Philpott
Green and peace - the two most tranquil words in the language: they don't have much to do with Greenpeace.
Greenpeace fights in the front line of the conservation battle, in the place where the whales or the seals are being killed, the toxic waste is being dumped, the bombs are being exploded.
Their policy is non-violent direct action; though the reactions it provokes in hunters, coastguards, naval patrols and police can be violent enough. Greenpeace crewmen have been arrested in Russia, America, France, Canada, Peru, Iceland, Spain and Australia.
They break the law and make the headlines, and in a few years they've grown from a handful of west-coast idealists into a fashionable international movement with an income of seven million dollars a year.
This is the story of how it happened, told through some of their most impudent and most daring campaigns.

The 1984 Formula One World Championship
Motor racing's jewel in the crown, the Monaco Grand Prix, where socialite and showbusiness personalities rub shoulders with the Formula One elite. Today double World Champion Niki Lauda will want to capitalise on his win for McLaren at Dijon two weeks ago and erase the memories of last year's race at Monte Carlo, when he failed to qualify. But snapping at everybody's wheels and winner here in 1983 is another former title holder Keke Rosberg. Watch out too for the British drivers. Nigel Mansell earned his first points of the season last time out, and Derek Warwick will want to get back on the podium after his Dijon accident.

A two-part feature made for television starring
Joanne Woodward , Sally Field with Brad Davis Part 1
'This strange story is based on the true story of a woman named Sybil.' So begins this classic film based on the case history of a young girl who had no less than 16 different 'personalities'. Sybil escaped into these characters-but over 11 years psychiatrist Cornelia Wilbur gradually drew the terrible truth from her. This award-winning production stars Joanne Woodward as the psychiatrist and Sally Field as the girl who desperately needs help, in one of the small screen's most memorable performances.
The Academy Awards ought to adopt Sally Field and Sybil. No better picture than Sybil has been made in the United States this year.
