The International Championship: The 78th Calcutta Cup Match: England v Scotland
This unique Rugby fixture - the only match of the International Championship played for a specific trophy - always produces an atmosphere of its own irrespective of the countries' positions in the Championship table.
With Scotland already assured of being this season's 'woodenspoonists' and England relying heavily on the talents of captain Bob Hiller, both sides would doubtless like to gain some distinction in this their final match of this season's Championship.

Nefertiti was the most beautiful and famous of queens of ancient Egypt. Was she also one of the most powerful? A remarkable new research project strongly suggests this was so. At Karnak in Egypt, 3,300 years ago, the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten, husband of Nefertiti, built a vast and brightly painted temple for his new religion.
After his death the priests of the old religion hastened to destroy it, leaving only some 45,000 carved stone blocks scattered in the core of the later monuments as witness to its short-lived glory. During the last five years Ray Winfield Smith, former US diplomat and general, has been directing the project, which by use of a computer has been rediscovering for the first time the nature and shape of Akhenaten's temple complex. As well, it has produced a quite new assessment of Nefertiti's status and importance. Introduced by Magnus Magnusson.

"It contained all the usual elements which go towards these plays being so hooking." (Daily Mail)
"The play made excellent entertainment. And there is one thing about Somerset Maugham. If he deals in seamy subjects he does set them in exotic places." (The Times)

Beryl Reid reads "The Landlady" by Roald Dahl
The landlady was slightly dotty. And she did seem awfully pleased with the young man who'd just arrived.
'It is such a pleasure,' she said, 'when I see someone at the door who is exactly right.' She paused and added: Like you.' And her blue eyes travelled slowly all the way down the length of Billy's body and up again...
