Golf – The Open

Sunday 18 July

12.45-7.00pm BBC ONE

Hazel Irvine presents live coverage as the 139th Open Championship reaches its climax at the home of golf, St Andrews. The old course hosts the event for a record 28th time.

World No. 1 Tiger Woods has won the tournament on both recent occasions that St Andrews has hosted the Open, in 2005 and 2000. Can Woods make it a hat-trick of titles despite his recent personal problems? If he does win, it will be his 15th major crown and his first since the 2008 US Open title.

Last year's dramatic final round at Turnberry saw American Stewart Cink shoot a final round of 69 to take him into a play-off with overnight leader Tom Watson. Cink eventually prevailed against fans' favourite and compatriot Watson to lift the famous Claret Jug for the first time, and in doing so ended 59-year-old Watson's fairytale dream of becoming Open champion once more.

It is 150 years since the first Open Championship took place at Prestwick, with Willie Park Senior the first man to win the title. Who from the chasing pack of the 2010 class will get themselves in among the genuine challengers as the four day competition starts to build to a dramatic conclusion?

Taking over from his hated rival, Don Revie, Brian Clough is determined to destroy the soul of his new club. Revie's Leeds United were peerless, cynical, inspired, and no one loathed them more than Clough. The feeling was mutual. Clough is alone, haunted and sleepless throughout his brief and painful stint as manager of Leeds. The compulsive, flawed and tragic figure he cuts takes on Shakespearian dimensions and demonstrates a football manager's guide to heaven and hell.

Starring Michael Sheen, Jim Broadbent and Timothy Spall and directed by Tom Hooper, the screenplay is by Peter Morgan from the novel The Damned United by David Peace.

A documentary about Brian Clough, From Front To Back, can be seen after the film on BBC Two.

Charismatic, outspoken and often controversial, the late Brian Clough is widely considered to be the best manager England never had and one of the best English managers the game of football has ever seen.

This frank documentary tells the story of an unforgettable career, including heady days with Derby County, unprecedented European success with Nottingham Forest and a notorious 44-day tenure as Leeds United boss, fictionalised in the novel and film The Damned United (which can be seen this weekend on BBC Two).

For many his like will never be seen again. Martin O'Neill and Sir Michael Parkinson are among those who remember the man they called "Cloughie".
