Tony Jacklin and Gary Player are joined by two of the most respected of Britain's sporting heroes in this match for the Whyte and Mackay Scotch Trophy.
Bobby Charlton 's career as a player with Manchester
United and England brought great credit to the game of football. His name is synonymous with skill and sportsmanship the world over and he applies the same standards to the game of golf. Ted Dexter , one of England's greatest batsmen, led his country to victory in many Test matches but has also excelled as an amateur golfer and remains as competitive as ever.
Peter Alliss describes the action over nine selected holes of the Ailsa Course at the Turnberry Hotel.

Life and Death in Ancient Egypt
Ten years ago, Chronicle filmed Dr Rosalie David and her team as they unwrapped an Egyptian mummy. Soon their researches extended to the rest of the Manchester Museum collection and beyond - to Egypt itself.
In a skull-filled hut in the shadow of the Pyramids, dentist Frank Leek , who once examined the teeth of Tutankhamun, investigates the problem of pharaonic toothache.
Near the Valley of the Kings at Luxor, Dr David analyses the wall paintings of scenes of everyday life and discovers that some tools and techniques are still in use today.
Back in Manchester, pottery and metal objects are subject to multi-element analysis using a nuclear reactor to determine their date and composition; radiologists try to establish the age and cause of death of a young mummified child and Dr Eddie Tapp , Consultant
Histo-Pathologist, diagnoses the illnesses of a Priestess of Amon by use of an industrial endoscope to look inside the mummy's lungs and brain. By using these most up-to-date scientific techniques the team are discovering both the pleasant and the not-so-pleasant realities of life and death in Ancient Egypt.

Bad Blood
Riding the Iron Horse - a roaring, full-throated Harley Davidson - across the open prairie is an American dream. Fifty thousand leather-clad bikers make romance come true as they converge, from all over the States and beyond, on Sturgis, a sleepy farming town in South
Dakota. The 48th annual
Black Hills Motorcycle Rally brings together weekenders on little Japanese bikes and hard-core, all-American Wild Ones. It's a raucous summer week of racing, drinking, partying and generally raising hell.
'The Sons of Silence' is one of the many bikers' chapters here. The Sons believe in America, freedom, white power, and loyalty to each other. They've got their own chaplain; women are not members, but 'property'.
Rebels against convention, they live by their own strict code - 'We are the Sons of Silence until death'. Music BRENDAN CROKER
