The Rothmans Grand Prix
A cool quarter of a million pounds and precious world ranking points are available to the world's top snooker players, and the No 1 seed TONY KNOWLES - who is the holder of this Championship as the current Professional
Players Champion - is seeded to play BILL WERBENlUK in this best-of-nine-frame third-round match.
In fact this tournament will be one of the most difficult of all to win this new snooker season, as the top 16 seeds will have had to play two nine-frame matches before they reach this stage - and Werbeniuk has last year's beaten finalist JOE JOHNSON in his path.

The Story of the Symphony Andre Previn with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra leader BARRY GRlFFTIHS
The symphonies of Beethoven are the most securely established of all orchestral works, yet they were often greeted with as much amazement as respect. 'On the strength of the Seventh Symphony' - the work performed in tonight's programme - 'Beethoven should be locked away in a madhouse,' said Weber, the composer of Der Freischiitz. Other critics declared that
Beethoven 'must clearly have been drunk to have composed such absurd, untamed music-the acme of shapelessness.'
In the second programme of the series, Andre Previn demonstrates how Beethoven brought to the symphony an unprecedented power and dynamism. But how did
Beethoven set to work, and to what extent was he affected by the outward idealism of the French Revolution and the inner, personal reality of his own incurable deafness? Vision mixer ANGELA WILSON

4: Florence Cobb
'I have never felt any bitterness towards the man who shot my husband. In my prayers, God gave me the grace to say, "I forgive you'".
It's been said of Ireland that the inevitable never happens, but the unexpected often occurs. Florence Cobb made myth into reality. When her husband's killer was caught. she immediately wrote to him in the Maze and offered her forgiveness. The publicity aroused by her letter resulted in a request from another prisoner - also serving life for murder - that she should visit him. She did and they fell in love. On his release, as far-off as 1997, they plan to marry. Producer FAY WOOLF
