Saturday 11 April 2015 is The Boat Race, the annual competition between Oxford and Cambridge on the Thames. In the world of rowing, not to mention Oxbridge rivalry, it is as big as the Olympics. And after last year's drubbing by Oxford, Cambridge has something to prove.
You can watch the Boat Race - or, rather, Races, since the men and women are rowing on the same day this year - online, courtesy of the BBC. The women's race is at 16:50 (London time) and the men at 17:50.
To get in the mood, you might consider watching True Blue, a film based on the 1987 "Oxford Mutiny" and the Boat Race of that year.
