Orrell have been struggling in the relegation zone for most of the season whereas Waterloo have always threatened the top clubs
- so the result and the four points are very important to both sides in this north-west clash.

New favourites for the Welsh cup, Neath take on last year's holders Cardiff in what should be an exciting open match.

Survival on the hot plains of Africa is a tightrope between life and death, even for the big cats. The leopard is a shy and elusive prowler, seldom seen by visitors to Kenya's most magnificent game reserve, the Masai Mara. The extraordinary and hazardous events in the daily life of one particular leopard and her cubs. Her wariness of elephants, a clash with a ' cheetah for possession of prey, and the threat from lions that could easily kill her cubs, show that even this powerful predator takes part in the continual struggle for life.

An eight-part series
7: The City under the Sea
Narrated by Tim Pigott-Smith The classical world of Greece and Rome is rife with stories of destruction and of great cities like Atlantis being lost and swallowed up by the sea. But one of the greatest sunken cities lies not in the Mediterranean, but across the Atlantic, in the New World.
Port Royal, Jamaica, was the centre for buccaneers who raided Spanish galleons laden with treasure.
Under the leadership of the famous pirate Captain Morgan, Port Royal came to be known as the Sodom and Gomorrah of the New World, the wickedest city on earth. But in June 1692, an earthquake devastated the town. Over 3,000 people were killed or drowned, as the city slipped beneath the sea.
Today, a team of divers led by Dr Donny Hamilton from
Texas A and M University is uncovering the town. Film editors

Programme four of the series in which Eartha Kitt introduces vintage performances from some of the greatest black artists of the 20th century, all filmed in the early 1950s before the notoriously tough audience of Harlem's world-famous Apollo Theatre.
Tonight's programme includes doo-wop harmonies from male vocal group the Larks; jazz and R'n'B from sassy Sarah Vaughn and Nat 'King' Cole; high-speed tap from Little Buck; comedy from Leonard Reed with Freddie and Flo; and a sublimely sleazy rendition of the boozers' ballad, One for My Baby, by the immortal King of Hi-De-Hi, Mr Cab Calloway.
