STAGE-TO-SCREEN adaptations do not always work, but this film version of Trevor Nunn's award-winning West End production of Oklahoma! (8pm Sky Premier) retains much of the original's zest and exuberance. Heading a sparky cast, Maureen Lipman (right) plays the woman who is being wooed simultaneously by two men. Receiving its satellite premiere tonight, this version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical contains two numbers not included in the 1955 film of the show.

The screening of golf's Ryder Cup (11.30am) on Sky Box Office 3 has been causing some controversy, but we should not let that distract us from one of sport's great contests. Can the European team, which consists largely of rookies, retain the Cup against a talented American squad at the Country Club of Brookline in Massachusetts?
