- A dramatised programme which tells the story of two young children who are sexually abused by their uncle.

- The young writer squirmed in his chair while the producer looked over his script. It was the story of two last-place baseball teams who, one year later, found themselves playing in perhaps the greatest World Series of all time, one in which both teams were underdogs. The story told how the two teams battled through seven nail-biting games, three of them extra-inning games. It told how four of those games were decided on the final pitch, a distinction no other Series could lay claim to. It told a tale of two cities and how they got caught up in the excitement of living of the American baseball dream. How they responded with thunderous ovations, deafening chants, tomahawk chops, and fluttering homer hankies. It told of an undersized second baseman bidding to earn the MVP Award, an honor that eventually went to the hometown hero of the winning team. The script was filled with game-saving catches against the center field wall, bone-crunching collisions at home plate, controversial calls, game-ending home runs, and a sequence of Seventh Game double plays that defied belief. And in the end, it told of the climactic Seventh Game, a pitcher's duel between a fresh-scrubbed youngster and the aging veteran he idolized as a boy. How they battled inning after inning until finally in the 10th, a broken bat double and a lazy-fly ball single scored the only run of the game and sent the hometown fans into a frenzy.
- Trailing two-games-to-none in the World Series might deflate some teams, but the 1978 New York Yankees weren't just some team. On July 20th, they trailed Boston by 14 games, but three months and one momentous Bucky Dent home run later, there they were in the Series against the L.A. Dodgers. Once, again, the Bronx Bombers bounced back--led by Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Graig Nettles, and 25-game winner Ron Guidry. See all the amazing action for yourself, including the unforgettable Game-6 showdown between Reggie and the Dodgers' Bob Welch. Wow!

- America loves an underdog. In 1990, America loved the Cincinnati Reds. No one gave the Reds much of a chance against the Oakland A's. The A's had the pitching, the power, the defense. And perhaps most important, they had been there before the last two years. Then along came would-be World Series M.V.P. Jose Rijo and a centerfield home run by Eric Davis. Billy Hatcher got in the groove of a lifetime, Billy Bates his a chopper and Chris Sabo took on the persona of both Brooks and Frank Robinson. It was over almost too quickly. The four-game sweep everyone had predicted had, in fact, taken place. But it was Cincinnati, in one of baseball's all-time World Series upsets, who did the sweeping. America loves an underdog. In the 1990 Cincinnati Reds, America has got a lot to love.
