Midland Bank World Indoor
Pairs Championship Peter Belliss and Phil Skoglund (New Zealand) v Terry Sullivan and Russell Evans (Wales)
Belliss, the current Outdoor World Champion, and Skoglund, who so narrowly lost the World Indoor final to Tony Allcock , are probably the overseas pair with the best chance of winning the title. Sullivan, 1985 World and UK Indoor Champion, and Evans, are one of the most experienced pairs in the world.
DAVID [CKE introduces live coverage at the start of the intriguing Group 1 match from the Bournemouth International Centre.

The Case of the Frozen
Addict
On 16 July 1982 something strange happened to one of the prisoners in San Jose jail. George Carillo , a 42-year-old drug addict, awoke to find that he could not move or talk. Frozen like a pillar of salt, he was transferred from his cell to the nearby Valley
Medical Center. Doctors there were totally bewildered.
The key to this mystery was not to be found in any medical text book, but would lead instead to the underground 'designer drug' world of California.
Ironically, from that seedy world has come a major medical breakthrough, bringing hope to millions of sufferers of the devastating brain condition, Parkinson's disease.
