Man:

And that’s the weather forecast. And now we know what the weather’s

going to

be like, let’s have a look at what we’ve got for you tomorrow on

TV31. Most of the morning is taken up with children’s television. As it’s

Saturday, we’ve got programs for children from the under fives to teenagers.

We start the day at 7.00 with cartoons and programs for the very young. These

go on until 9.00 when we have a film specially made for television called The

Railway Princess. It was first shown about six months ago and we’ve had lots of

requests to show It again. The film is based on Jenny Johnson’s best-selling

children’s book. Then from 10.30 until 12.00, we continue with a magazine

program for 5- to 12-year-olds. There’s something for everyone - animals, art,

sport, the countryside. At unchtime, from 12.00 till 2.00, we have something for

teenagers - Here and Now - our music program with all the latest groups and

singers, and the results of last week’s competition. After lunch there s half an

hour of news and that’s followed at 2.30 by sport. This afternoon you can watch

the match between Brazil and Ireland. The winner of that match will go on to

play Italy or Spain in the final next week, Football is followed at 4 o’clock by

tennis. We’ll be watching part of the Macmillan Tennis Tournament. If the tennis

is cancelled because of rain we’ll be going over early to Japan to see some of

the skiing. Let’s hope Angus Burns has recovered from yesterday’s fall. At 5

o’clock we’ll be bringing you the end of the Round Britain Cycle Race. At 6

o’clock it’s time for our new quiz program Your guess is as good as mine with

Nigel Parsons. Each team is shown pictures of people who were in the news in

one particular year, or important things that happened in that year. The teams

guess when that was. That’s followed by more news and at /.00 it’s time for our

Saturday evening film I Could Live Forever, a sad story with a happy ending.

You’ll recognize the songs, now well known, made famous by the film and sung

by Julia Jones. And of course there’s some wonderful dancing. Our evening

carries on with plenty of entertainment for all the family. At nine o’clock there’s

a chance to see ...

Man:

and finally Mary James has been visiting the new Sea Life Centre at

Plymouth. What can you tell us about it, Mary?

Woman:

Well, it’s an extremely exciting place. There are so many things to see

and everything is enjoyable as well as educational. It costs £3.70 for

adults, £2 for children and less for over sixties and school groups. It’s

open every day of the year except the 25th and 26th of December Special

attractions for children include a quiz and hourly feeding times for all the

different animals and fish, starting at 9.30. You can see everything here

from the most enormous of sea creatures to the smallest. Every morning

from 10.00 there are slide and video shows for children in the sea life

theatre, and someone is always there to answer questions about what

you’ve seen. If you are in a group of six or more people, they can give you

a special guided tour of the centre. But you need to arrange this at the

information desk when you arrive. The latest attraction at the centre is a

big glass tunnel you can walk through; all around you, you will see

enormous fish swimming - sometimes even over your head. You certainly

have the clearest possible view of the world beneath the waves. Children

love it and it’s really amazing for adult’s tool. When you get hungry, there

is a relaxed family dining area serving snacks, cold drinks and ice creams

near the main entrance there is an excellent bookshop and there’s also a

souvenir shop selling all kinds of things connected with the sea. I warmly

recommend this visit; for more information phone 01743 564219.
