Further coverage of the golf fourballs on the second day at the Belfry. Europe and the USA shared the honours at this stage of the competition in 1989, with two wins apiece. In 1991, Europe fared better, with three victories in the second-day fourballs - the fourth match was halved. Europe's hopes of regaining the trophy will be much clearer by the end of today's play.

This three-part production, first screened 18 months ago, combined the literary talents of Sir Kingsley Amis, who won the Booker Prize with the novel, and celebrated screenwriter Andrew Davies, whose many credits have included his own A Very Peculiar Practice and the adaptation of House of Cards. They are served by a strong cast including John Stride (who became a small- screen star with The Main Chance), Bernard Hepton and Anna Cropper.

The devils in question were students together in the 1950s, now pensioners on an alcoholic wander through old age. Their routine is upset when TV personality and "professional Welshman" Alun Weaver bounds back into their lives.
