The Optrex ASA Championships
Second day of the nationals. ALAN WEEKS and HAMILTON BLAND, fresh from their successes in Los Angeles, get back to their roots. They'll do anything for a commentary.
4.15*
Golf from Fulford Club, York
Master golfer BILLY CASPER could well be in the frame when the leaders come into view. He's seen it all before but of course another 920,000 could always come in handy.

The first of four films as a tribute to one of the screen's most memorable actors with Claire Bloom, Oscar Werner The finest-and most successful-adaptation of a John Ie Carre novel to the big screen. Richard Burton gives one of his finest performances as Leamas, a British Intelligence agent forced into a plot to discredit the KGB. The seedy world of spying and counter-espionage is portrayed by a fine British cast, including Rupert Davies as the first personification of the now famous 'Smiley'.

The 1984 Formula One World Championship
Austrian Grand Prix
Who would bet against an Austrian winning in Austria? The records show that it's never happened, but NIKI LAUDA, just 41 points behind ALAIN
PROST in the Drivers' Championship, could be the first.
There can be little doubt that the championship is a two-horse race, even if both riders are on the same horse. The McLaren domination continued in Germany a fortnight ago with another one-two. But McLaren have never won here and, should they fail again, watch out for Britain's DEREK WARWICK in the Renault and the Lotus pair of NIGEL MANSELL and ELIO DE ANGELIS. Commentators
