Motor Racing
Shell Oils British Grand Prix The first British Grand Prix was run at Brooklands in 1926 - Malcolm Campbell, by the way, was second - the winner's average speed was
71.61 mph. Last year ALAIN
PROST won at Silverstone at an average speed of 146.274 mph. Wouldn't Frank be chuffed if NIGEL and KEKE landed a Williams one-two after their one-three at Brands last time. They're off, MURRAY and JAMES, at 2.30.

The Choreographer and the Dance
Richard Alston and his
Wildlife, with members of Ballet Rambert
'Co-ordination, ways of using space, new ways of using time, this is what interests me ... not wrenching the body into things it simply should not do.' Richard Alston , newly-appointed artistic director of Ballet Rambert, talks about his ideas, his career and Wildlife, the ballet performed tonight which stands out as one of the most striking artistic collaborations seen on the dance stage in recent years. Nigel Osborne , composer, talks about his exotic score; Richard Smith , painter, about the spectacular moving kites he created for the designs; and Peter Mumford , lighting designer, about the effects of light and shade on the strange world of this dance piece.

Fronted by Ritchie Blackmore's searing guitar, the band provides an ecstatic audience with a catalogue of their best-known numbers including 'Miss Mistreated', 'All night long', 'Long live rock 'n' roll' and 'Smoke on the water'.
