## Programme notes

* Janice's first regular TV appearance as presenter
* from *Radio Times*: The first of seven programmes. Sport has always been concerned with speed, with who can run, swim, ride or drive the fastest. Daley Thompson, probably the greatest athlete in the world, looks at the art of sprinting and the ways in which runners improve their times. June Croft, Britain's fastest lady swimmer, talks about speed through the water. And we'll also be looking at some of Britain's youngest speedway riders at the King's Lynn school of Swedish star Olle Nygren. Introduced by Peter Purves, Daley Thompson and Janice Long
