91Èȱ¬ TWO Sunday 25 May 2008

This lunchtime there's a chance to see highlights from the North West 200, which took place last weekend.

Ìý

The NW200, a series of races which take place on the roads between Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine, is one of Northern Ireland's premier sporting events and attracts well over 100,000 spectators. It was first held almost 80 years ago as a warm-up for the Isle of Man TT but has developed into a major motorcycling festival in its own right. Among those competing will be Michael Rutter, who has been one of the most successful riders at the meeting in recent years. Steve Plater, who won the main Superbike race last year and did the Superbike double in 2006, also returns.

Gary Lineker presents live coverage of the final round of the PGA Championship at the West Course, Wentworth.

Ìý

It was a thrilling final day last year at the European Tour's flagship event. Overnight leaders Paul Broadhurst and Ross Fisher slumped to rounds of 80 and 84 respectively, which allowed Justin Rose and Anders Hansen to make their moves. It was the Dane, Hansen, who triumphed, pipping Briton Rose to the title with a brilliant birdie putt at the first hole of a sudden-death play-off.

The London Sevens, the penultimate event in the IRB World Series, takes place at Twickenham over the weekend and highlights from the fast-paced, 44-match event can be seen this evening.

Ìý

New Zealand have been in unstoppable form this year and should clinch the title this weekend, although South Africa gave the rest hope by winning at the last event in Australia. The All Blacks were in dominant form at Twickenham last year, beating Fiji, who were then leading the overall series, in the final. It proved a crucial victory as New Zealand then went on to win the season-ending event in Edinburgh to pip the Fijians for the World Series title.

The rare Chiru, or Tibetan
antelope

Wild China travels to one of the remotest places on Earth, Tibet, as the series gaining access and insight into all of China continues.

Ìý

The size of Western Europe, the Tibetan plateau covers a quarter of China. This vast, windswept wilderness is defined by the glacier-strewn Himalayas. Though brutal and inhospitable, it is home to wildlife such as brown bears, wild yaks, giant sheep, snow leopards and even the highest predators on Earth. There are more large creatures here than anywhere else in China.

Ìý

The team battled temperatures of -30°C at an altitude of 5,000 metres to capture footage of the rare Chiru, or Tibetan antelope.

Ìý

The programme also takes a look at Tibet's unique culture, defined by over one thousand years of Buddhism, and reveals how this landscape and ancient culture provides a vital life-support system for almost half the people on Earth.

Ìý

Wild China is part of a pan-91Èȱ¬ collection of programmes on TV, radio, and online, examining China in its Olympics year. AÌýFocus On China website will pull together all the 91Èȱ¬'s formidable expertise, knowledge and archive on China.

It's all Greek to the students at
Cyprus Rhodes University

This new US comedy drama follows the lives of young people looking for freedom, love, sex and friendship, while dealing with cheating boyfriends, nerdy younger brothers and girls obsessed with beauty and popularity.

Ìý

Poised to become one of the most powerful and popular girls on campus at Cyprus Rhodes University, Casey Cartwright is everything an "it" girl should be: beautiful, vivacious, funny and warm – except to her little brother, Rusty.

Ìý

He's new on campus, and he is, by his own admission, a bit of a geek. But that was the old Rusty. After a lifetime of geeking out, he sees college as an opportunity to create a whole new identity. He may excel in his studies, but what he really wants is what other guys have: girls, good mates and an awesome time.

Ìý

Casey is horrified at the prospect of her dorky brother ruining her image, and she wants nothing to do with him. But when Rusty sees Casey's boyfriend, Evan, getting steamy with another girl, her baby brother suddenly seems interesting after all.

Ìý

Weirdly, Casey is not the only one interested in Rusty. Evan wants him for his fraternity, while Casey's ex-boyfriend, Cappie, thinks he belongs at his fraternity. His Bible-toting roommate, Dale, thinks they're all crazy and is praying for Rusty's soul. But the heavens seem to be ignoring his pleas, because Rusty seems determined to have fun, no matter how socially inept he is.

Ìý

Greek stars Spencer Grammer as Casey Cartwright, Jacob Zachar as Rusty, Jake McDorman as Evan, Scott Michael Foster as Cappie and Clark Duke as Dale.
