Rugby World Cup England v Romania ITV 1
England v Romania (Kick-off 7.00am). Steve Rider presents coverage of the penultimate Pool B fixture for both sides at the Otago Stadium in Dunedin. Romania started the tournament as favourites to finish bottom of this pool, and while England coach Martin Johnson will be keen to improve on performances against Argentina and Georgia, his selection is likely to be made with the final pool match against Scotland in mind. This is the nations' first meeting for 10 years, and Romania will be keen to banish the memories of that 134-0 drubbing with a much-improved performance here. With commentary by Nick Mullins, and analysis by Lawrence Dallaglio and Sean Fitzpatrick.
The 1951 Festival of Britain: A Brave New World.
BBC 2 20:15 pm - 21:15 pm.
Documentary exploring how the 1951 Festival of Britain helped the nation to look forward to a brighter future during a period of post-war austerity.

Rugby World Cup Ireland v Russia ITV 1
Ireland v Russia (Kick-off 6.00am). Coverage of the penultimate Pool C fixture for both sides, staged at the Rotorua International Stadium in New Zealand. This is something of a journey into the unknown for the Irish as they face the Russians for only the second time in their history. The first meeting resulted in a 35-3 win in 2002, and coach Declan Kidney will expect an emphatic victory, although he is likely to make changes after the stunning victory over Australia and with Italy still to play. Presented by Craig Doyle, with commentary by Simon Ward.
Argentina v Scotland ITV 1 Rugby World Cup.
Argentina v Scotland (Kick-off 8.30am). Steve Rider presents all the action from the Pool B match at the Wellington Regional Stadium in New Zealand. This is one of the pivotal fixtures of the pool stage, as the Scots face their first serious test of the tournament after unimpressive victories against Georgia and Romania. The Pumas may not have lived up in recent years to the heights of their performances in the World Cup four years ago, but they still present a major obstacle to Scotland's chances of reaching the quarter-finals, and pushed England all the way in their opener. With commentary by Nick Mullins, and analysis by Thom Evans, Francois Pienaar and Girvan Dempsey.
Fry's Planet Word BBC 2. 1/5 Babel.
21:00 pm - 22:00pm.
Stephen Fry dissects language in all its forms, journeying from the thousands of years since humans first mastered speech, through the glories of world literature, right up to the cyber world of today with its html codes and texting. He begins by asking why people seem so advanced in their levels of communication compared with other species on the planet, taking part in a Klingon version of Hamlet and meeting philologist Wolfgang Klein.

Rugby World Cup Wales v Namibia ITV 1
Wales v Namibia (Kick-off 7.30am). Craig Doyle presents coverage of the Pool D fixture at the Stadium Taranaki in New Plymouth, New Zealand. Having already faced South Africa and Samoa, Wales coach Warren Gatland seems likely to use several of his squad players for this match, which they are the overwhelming favourites to win as they look to move a step closer to the quarter-finals. With commentary by Martin Gillingham, and analysis by Gareth Thomas and Francois Pienaar.
