Fads Homecare British
International Championship England v Wales
The final match of this prestigious triangular tournament between
England, Scotland and Wales brings together the two favourites to take the title.
England entertain Wales and will have to beat them to be sure of winning the trophy. If Wales win, it will be a three-country tie for the championship, as Scotland beat Wales in the first match, and England defeated
Scotland in the second. The championship will then be decided on the country which has won the most sets, then the most legs.
Captains JOHN LOWE for
England and ALAN EVANS for Wales will obviously try to spur their teams to victory, but England should be favourite on their home ground at Preston.

The 20th Century: Between the Wars
In the years between the two world wars an undercurrent of unreason, of fantasy, of primitive passions, fuelled by the researches of Freud, marked the development of new art, particularly the Surrealist movement.
Edwin Mullins continues his series of some of the greatest paintings of Western art, concentrating on three paintings dealing in different ways with the human subconscious.
They are PAUL KLEE's Garden with birds
(described by Richard Cork ) PICASSO'S Guernica
(described by Milton Brown ) and MAX ERNST 'S
The robing of the bride
(described by George Melly ) All three pictures were featured in the series One Hundred Great Paintings.

featuring The Men's Downhill from Whistler Mountain
The Alpine snow men are going downhill for the final time this season, here on the pine-covered slopes of British Columbia. It's a two-hour drive from
Vancouver at a sedate 40 mph up Highway 99, but just two minutes at a frantic 80 mph down the 'Orange Pony
Gondola Trail' will settle the most important championship issues of the BASF Ski World Cup.
For Great Britain, the season ends on the most optimistic note - can MARTIN BELL further improve on the best placings he has ever had to become one of the elite group of top-seeded downhillers? David Vine reports on the climax to the Ski Sunday series.

Introduced by Tony Soper
with Iain Guest and Anthony Smith

Murky Waters
A Mediterranean holiday may be a gourmet's delight or a gastric disaster. Ten years ago an international agreement proposed a massive marine clean-up. How successful has it been and how do Britain's beaches compare?

Pastures New
In Tunisia the Bou Hedma National Park has become home for a group of scimitar-horned oryx - a British export success story. How are they adapting to the aridity of the desert from the lush grasses of Hampshire?

Last of ten films about contemporary architecture Architecture: Quo Vadis?
This has been a series about change - in the attitudes of contemporary architects, in public awareness, in the ways they are shaping our future environment. There has been some optimism, but the last ten years of anxiety and argument have thrown up many questions and too few answers. The seminal buildings of our century are still those of the 20s and 30s, of the so-called Modern
Movement. But the last decade has seen new adventures in architecture that may, once their effects have been assimilated, join the list of seminal buildings of the century. A look at
MICHAEL graves's Humana building in Kentucky, ARATA ISOZAKI'S Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, ROGERS'S Lloyd's Insurance building in London, and FOSTER'S Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank. In Paris, eight vast projects are in the making, catering for the demands of the next century.
Architects and writers
1. M. Pei , Richard Meier Richard Rogers Norman Foster Philip Johnson
Ada Louise Huxtable and Kenneth Frampton offer their own definitions of the changing role of the architect, still complex and uncertain. For the doubts we all have about architecture reflect the doubts we have about our society.
