The Panasonic European Open
It was enough to make a chap gag on his g and t. 'Sixty-four round the Old Course by a Spaniard and now you tell me that German bounder has done it as well? Mark my words, they'll be asking for money next.' Sixty-four is six under par, LANGER finished 11 under all told, asked for and got £33,320. In the end
MANUEL CALERO received only E2,280 for joint 21st. 'And let that be a lesson to you.'

The first of three programmes
A global celebration of birds
Narrator Magnus Magnusson

There are 10,000 kinds of birds. Without their songs, splashes of colour and flamboyant displays, the world would be an impoverished place.

Birds even survive in the polar regions where the climate is extreme, the bright summers brief. Emperor penguins of the Antarctic start to breed during the freezing winter, starving for four months. In spring, beautiful snow petrels nest in ice cliffs in the remote interior. Wilson's petrels dance over the sea, skuas steal, sheathbills scavenge, adelie penguins run the gauntlet of leopard seals.

With arctic fox, snowy owl and gyrfalcon ever-present threats, Arctic birds rely on camouflage, rocky crevices or high, inaccessible cliffs to hide their nests and young. Ivory gulls venture further north than any other bird, ptarmigan alter their plumage from summer brown to white, remaining through the winter, while others flee. The Arctic tern flies 18,000km south to enjoy a second summer in the Antarctic.

This exam, which replaces the old O-level and CSE, has been hailed as the most profound change in schools for 20 years. John Clare investigates whether GCSE will really make a difference in the way pupils are taught and assessed. Film editor KEITH RAVEN

Tonight some of the actors who appear in them take part in an unrehearsed discussion about acting Sophocles and his meaning to the modern world.

3: The Grand Design In 1948 the Afrikaner
Nationalists came to power and began to implement their Grand Design for South
Africa. The races were to live apart; each tribal group was to have its own homeland which in due course would become an independent state. The chief architect of apartheid, prime minister
Hendrik Verwoerd , called it 'a policy of good neighbourliness'. To the outside world it seemed at best impractical, at worst, evil. Thirty years on David Dimbleby examines the theory and practice of apartheid. He meets some who live under it and others who have to make it work. Above all, he explores what Afrikaners now think of the system they have created. Director FRANCIS GERARD Producer DAVID HARRISON

Rosa Lee , the attractive owner, allows him to work out his debt and gradually Mac begins to rebuild his life ...
