starring
Charlie Chaplin Jackie Coogan
Six-year-old

Europe to its foundations. It gave us law, universities, the Gothic cathedrals, and showed how to make a rainbow.

Ireland v England France v Wales
Nigel Starmer-Smith introduces highlights of today's internationals.
Victory for Ireland would give them the Triple Crown and championship following last year's wooden spoon.
However, if England were to win, they would be on course for the two titles themselves. France and Wales having started off the season as joint favourites for the championship, have disappointed, and have a lot to prove, and improve on, in their approach and styles of play.
