An hour later Channel Two shows the highlights from the First ‘Silver Jubilee’ Test. At eight o’clock we switched to Channel Nine and the second half of “Hawaii Five-O”, in which a policewoman and three men are placed in a punctured rubber raft, in the Pacific, before it is cast adrift from a yacht.

“The Great St. Trinian’s Train Robbery”, a British movie, may be watched on Channel Seven from half past eight. It stars Frankie Howerd and Reg “The Rag Trade”/”On The Buses” Varney.
