12.35pm Scene: Fame
'You're only on this earth once, and I don't personally have the desire just to end up under a gravestone without anybody realising who I was.'
Almost every teenager wants to be famous. Why? Scene took a group of teenagers who dream of fame and gave them a taste of what fame could mean. How do their ideas compare with the famous - like Mandy Smith, Peter Waterman - and with people who were once famous but now live in obscurity - like Les McKeown of Bay City Rollers and Denis Seaton from Musical Youth?

The second match of the series took place on Sunday between England and Wales. The English squad looks very formidable including the World Champion Bob Anderson, Eric Bristow, the new skipper, and John Lowe. Two weeks ago Scotland decisively beat Wales in Cardiff and the series could end in a thriller between
Scotland and England, providing England beat Wales. Wales, on the other hand, must win to have any further interest in the championship.
The XV Olympic Winter Games
Steve Rider introduces the best match from last night's Olympic ice-hockey tournament in Calgary. Since it became an Olympic sport, the ice hockey title has been won six times apiece by Canada and the USSR, twice by the United States and once, in 1936, by Great Britain.
Presented by Paul Coia
Today, Clive Spate tries for four wins in a row. His opponents are Peter Finley and Barbara Becket.

Alpine Ski-ing
Today's women's slalom at Nakiska is perhaps the most open of all the alpine ski-ing events at these games. Yugoslavia's Mateja Svet should figure prominently, however, in the live coverage of this first run. At last year's World Championships in Crans Montana, Britain's Lesley Beck finished tenth, and any improvement on that today would be a tremendous boost for British ski-ing. You can see the second run in Olympic Report tonight at 11.25pm.

'I left home about six weeks ago. Came back from school, washed, changed, and went. I'd had enough of being grateful. When I said we ought to shoot the horse and make it into hamburgers for Africa, Dad laughed. Mum thought it was an ungrateful thing to say.'

The novelist and poet Jack Kerouac died in 1969, a chronic alcoholic, at the age of 47. He was already something of a legend, not simply for his style of writing but for the style of life that he chronicled. He travelled back and forth across America and his most famous novel On the Road became the bible for what he called 'the Beat Generation'.
Tonight's Arena presents Richard Lerner's celebrated cinema profile What Happened to Kerouac? with testimony from fellow Beats Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, William Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, his first wife Edie Parker Kerouac, Carolyn Cassady, Ken Kesey, film of his alter-ego Nial Cassady, his idols Charlie Parker and Slim Gaillard and Kerouac himself reading from his works.
