Four more points are at stake in this afternoon's fourball matches. Unlike the foursomes where each pair plays alternate strokes, in fourball games both men play a ball and the better score on each hole counts for the team.

Colin Blakemore reports on Imagina, the festival of computer graphics and animation held every year in Monte Carlo. He looks at the most stunning examples of today's computer animation, explains the principles on which this new art form is based, and talks to its leading practitioners, including John Lasseter , winner of this year's Hollywood Oscar for best short animation, and Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann , who has created a new film starring synthesised versions of Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart.

Excellence
From Shakespeare and Darwin to Brunei,
Rolls Royce and the Beatles, the British have often been at the forefront in the pursuit of excellence. As Nigel Farrell reveals in the final programme of his series, this spirit is very much alive today. How is it for example, that the men of Kent lead the country in the production of giant vegetables, and what makes the finest amateur musicians dedicate themselves to a peculiar perfection?

Picking up the Pieces
'You listen out as if to say, "any minute now the doors are going to bang, the keys are going to jingle". Because you can't really believe you're free, actually free!'
This could have been said by any one of the thousands of women in our penal institutions, haunted by their experiences of imprisonment and the way they are viewed by society once they are out. The quote is in fact from
Virginia, who was released from prison six months ago.
This film follows her and two other women as they attempt to come to terms with their prison experiences and pick up the pieces of their lives. Director INGRID LEWIS

A celebration of the new sounds of a continent. 1: Mali
In the wave of Western enthusiasm for the popular music of Africa, no sounds have been greeted more warmly than those of this vast, landlocked sub-Saharan country which is economically poor, but rich in tradition and music.
Mali's musical culture is at the centre of every social occasion. Blending tradition and innovation, the modern music of Mali shows the influence of jazz. Afro-Cuban, blues and rock, but still retains roots in centuries-old customs and songs.
The programme features the music of international singers Salif Keita and Kassemady Diabete , traditional performers Tata Bambo Kouyate and Sali Sidibe , and the two leading bands Super Biton de Segou and the Super Djata Band. Sound recordist BRUCE GALLAWAY Photography JOHN DALY
