In this third and final episode, the pilgrims head north east to Moray on the edge of the Scottish Highlands. Their first stop is Pluscarden Abbey, Britain’s only working medieval monastery. Keen to see how these current-day Benedictine monks live and work, the pilgrims stay overnight and sample some of the routines of monastic life, which include helping with domestic duties. As they question the monks about their life choices, Monty, Louisa, Will and Nick fruit pick in the orchards, while Lawrence, Shazia and Scarlett start cooking dinner. But over supper, and after attending a service conducted in Latin, the group’s first proper argument erupts over a few misplaced words. By the following morning, all tensions are forgotten, and the pilgrims head off to Forres, a nearby ancient town dating back to around AD900. Louisa, Shazia, Scarlett and Will discover the Witches Stone, a memorial to so-called witches killed in the area during the Middle Ages. Meanwhile, Lawrence, Monty and Nick seek out Sueno’s Stone, a famous Christian Pictish monument thought to be evidence that, three centuries after Columba’s death, Christianity had reached the territory inhabited by pagan Picts. The pilgrims head west across the Highlands and catch a ferry to the Outer Hebrides and the Isle of Lewis. In Stornoway, Shazia takes the chance to pray at Britain’s northern-most mosque, taking Nick and Louisa with her. After the service, they’re invited to stay for tea when they find out more about this small, friendly Muslim community. Once reunited with the other pilgrims, they head to the Calanais Stones, which are older than Stonehenge. While Lawrence ponders how Columba would have reacted to these pagan megaliths, Shazia shares that with any place of pilgrimage, its significance is not what it is, but the faith you have in it. The pilgrims then start heading back south on the Scottish mainland towards the Inner Hebrides. On the way, they stop off for a wet and wild walk in Glen Nevis in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, and with Columba’s Isle now only two days away, their thoughts start turning to the end of their pilgrimage and their own personal spiritual journeys. Another ferry ride gets them to the Isle of Mull - just a hop away from Iona - and their last overnight stop, where they sit down together to celebrate their journey and Columba. Early the following morning, day 15 of their pilgrimage, local boatmen take them on the final leg of their pilgrimage, from Mull to the tiny island of Iona. The current abbey on Iona was founded in the 13th century over the foundations of Columba’s original 6th-century monastery, but it was Columba’s settlement which made Iona an island famed for its scholarship and culture. The pilgrims visit the shrine where it's most likely Columba was buried, and a last walk to the hill of Iona brings about an emotional farewell to their pilgrimage, with the final words belonging to Nick, who salutes the memory of Columba and his achievements.

The natural world is full of colours. For us, they are a source of beauty, but for animals they are a tool for survival. David Attenborough reveals the extraordinary ways in which animals use colour: to win a mate, to fight off rivals and to warn enemies. In India, peacocks dazzle females with magnificent tail feathers; a tiny hummingbird in the deserts of North America unfurls his spectacular headdress as he dances for a mate; and in the darkness of a rainforest, powerful mandrill baboons signal their status with red and blue face masks, while tiny frogs warn of deadly poisons with brilliant colours. New camera technologies - some developed especially for this series – also allow us to see colours and patterns usually invisible to human eyes. Ultraviolet cameras reveal bright signals on a butterfly’s wings and facial markings on yellow damselfish that are used as secret communication channels. Some animals can also detect polarised light, and specialist cameras can now show us how fiddler crabs see the world, and how mantis shrimp have strange polarisation patterns on their bodies to signal to a mate or rival.

This week, we’re in the stunning Highlands and Islands of Scotland – a walker’s wonderland with hundreds of lochs, miles of rugged coastline and the highest mountain in Britain. Leading today’s walk is 24-year-old Daisy from Inverness, who’s a teacher by day and an army cadet trainer in her spare time. She’s given the group their marching orders - it’s a lung-busting jaunt up one of Scotland’s most iconic mountains, Stac Pollaidh. It’s less than half the size of Ben Nevis, but at 612 metres to the summit, it’s a monster climb. Will Daisy manage to march her band of merry recruits to the top, or will there be a mutiny midway? And when the scores are in at the end of the day, will she be flying high or come tumbling down?

But in August 2017 the world was left stunned when a brutal military operation drove hundreds of thousands of ethnic Rohingya Muslims from their homes. In this first episode, Simon travels to Burma to find out the roots of this crisis - as well as heading to Bangladesh to witness the drama that is still unfolding. He begins his journey in the biggest city in the country, Yangon, and drives north into Burma's Buddhist heartlands and the stunning ancient capital of Bagan - a sight that rivals the great wonders of the world. He meets the monks who supported the people through the darkest days of dictatorship. And he is granted an audience with some of the most contentious figures in the country – ultra-nationalist monks preaching hate against the country's Muslim Rohingya. Stopped from visiting the scene of the military crackdown against the Rohingya, Simon travels to Bangladesh to meet the refugees traumatised by the violence. In what is now the biggest refugee settlement in the world, he learns about a crisis that has been brewing for decades, with no sign of ending, and potentially grave consequences for the wider region.

A vast and valuable collection curated over a lifetime needs to be cleared. Pensioner David has decided to sell his rare and unique circus memorabilia and put the money raised towards a good cause – entertaining locals with his clown and variety act. He hopes he will make enough cash to fund several shows for Bubbles, his alter ego, to entertain children across Scotland.

First into the barn is Heather Evans from Winchester, who is hoping bike aficionado Tim Gunn will be able to restore balance to a tricky mode of transport. She presents a battered unicycle that was a gift she bought for her late husband, Perry, and it perfectly embodies his playful spirit and unquenchable thirst for life – all the more notable given the challenges he faced. On Perry’s second date with Heather, he told her he had HIV through infected blood products he had taken for his haemophilia and that he only had a few years to live. Perry fell seriously ill, but new drug treatments came along, and within a year, he was back at work, living life to the full and riding the unicycle that so perfectly sums up his sense of fun. Sadly, after 36 years of marriage, Perry passed away, and the family are desperate to get his beloved unicycle back up and roadworthy once again. Tim pulls out all the stops to straighten the buckles, fix the broken spokes and get the unicycle ready for further adventures with the next generation. Ready to put Mark Stuckey’s electrical expertise to the test are Florence, her dad Adrian and family friend Alex. They are entrusting Mark with an iconic 80s gadget – a canary yellow cassette player that belonged to Florence’s mum, Mel. Mel worked as the wig mistress for Les Misérables in the West End for 25 years, and the boombox was constantly blasting out Eurythmics or Michael Jackson in her wig room as the backdrop to plenty of gossip amongst the cast and crew. In 2001, Mel was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she sadly passed away 12 years later. The cassette player currently just chews up tapes, but the family would love to hear it operating at its best again. Mark works on its drive belts and clutch, and even demagnetises the head, all in an effort to honour Mel’s West End legacy, blare out some iconic 80s bangers and keep her memory well and truly alive. Next into the barn is Keith from Oxford, bringing in something contagious that most people try to avoid for the attention of David Burville. This unique model of an adenovirus was made by Keith’s father Robin, an electron microscopist. Back in the 1960s, Robin worked at the National Institute of Medical Research, studying viruses and developing vaccines. One day, he had a eureka moment, finding and photographing the adenovirus – the virus that is responsible for the common cold – for the very first time. Robin’s colleagues were in awe, and the national press picked up the story. Wanting to be able to explain the virus’s shape more clearly and how it worked, Robin decided to create a 3D model from his 2D photo. It was his pride and joy. Over the years, some of the polystyrene balls have been damaged or fallen off, and the family are keen to have it repaired to give the next generation the opportunity to learn from it. David must come up with a strategy to contain elements of the virus and to prevent the damage spreading in order to save this extraordinary piece of family and medical history. Finally, Paul from Barnsley has brought a piece of Edwardian gadgetry for Brenton to focus on. The Houghton brass and wood field camera was bought at auction by Paul and his brother Ian, a passionate photographer and Paul’s close companion through all manner of childhood scrapes and adventures. The brothers had hoped that Ian, who was a dab hand at most things, could mend the broken shutter. However, before he was able to repair it, Ian was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and the family lost him in 2019. To help Paul reconnect with cherished memories of his brother, Brenton must get the shutter working and replace a missing glass screen in order to restore life to the brass plate camera, the embodiment of a brotherly bond.

In each nerve-shredding round, contestants aim to pass the dreaded light from themselves onto a rival of their choice by correctly answering a question or completing a physical task - but only viewers at home can see the ticking clock, and whoever gets caught in the light when the time runs out at the end of the round is struck by lightning and eliminated from the game. Each week of five shows starts with six contestants who, whenever they are knocked out, return to play again on the next episode. The contestant who manages to make the endgame in a show plays for the chance to win up to £3,000, but regardless of their success or failure, they leave to be replaced by a new player in the following episode.

Art lover Bill Bailey returns for a new series of Extraordinary Portraits, matching ordinary people who have extraordinary stories with some of the country's most talented portrait artists. Civil servant Darryn was working at a prisoner rehabilitation conference at Fishmongers' Hall near London Bridge in 2019 when a knife-wielding man attacked, killing two innocent people. Grabbing a narwhal tusk mounted on a nearby wall, Darryn, with former and serving prisoners, managed to fend off the attacker, protecting others until police arrived. Darryn was awarded a gallantry medal by the late queen, and to the outside world his actions were heroic. But the aftermath proved far more complex, and he says it has left him changed forever. Now, he dedicates his life to rehabilitation work and runs a home for former offenders, alongside one of the prisoners who stood with him on the bridge that day. Bill believes that Nick, a gifted sculptor, would be the perfect artist to capture this remarkable man who does not see himself as a hero. But can Nick create a sculpture of Darryn that is truly three-dimensional – one that acknowledges the bravery of his actions that day as well as the emotional consequences they left behind?

Hand-reared from just one day old, their survival has been touch and go, but now they’re moving into a purpose-built playpen. The keepers are joining forces to supervise their every move as the trio begin exploring their new world. But they know they’re not out of the woods yet.

Natasha Raskin Sharp has a puzzle for passers-by in Brackley to solve. Her mystery object is heavy and made of cast iron with a brass opening. What could it be and why is it so important for one avid collector. The venue for the shopping showdown is an antiques centre in the Northamptonshire town. Engaged couple Aron and Charlie are bargain-hunting with Thomas Forrester, while married couple Lucille and Geoff are with Tim Weeks. Fizzing with energy, the reds hope to uncork some profits with a pair of boxed champagne flutes, but Thomas isn’t keen on the price. Across the centre, Geoff wonders if a model of a double-decker is just the ticket, but Tim tries to steer the team away. The big question is, will the teams get a ‘fare’ price for their lots when they’re sold over in Derbyshire, with auctioneer James Lewis on the rostrum?

A former pig farmer makes a last-ditch attempt to clear her home of unwanted belongings before old age prevents her decade-long fundraising campaign for an African charity. Ann has lived on her Shepperton smallholding for 70 years and has amassed a huge collection of curios and antiques. She hopes to cash in on a clear-out, with a goal of making £20,000 to support a Ugandan village. Many of the antiques in Ann’s home are a homage to her travels around the world. Auctioneer Izzie Balmer picks out the items she thinks will raise the most money at the rostrum. While the hundreds of cheese labels will need to find a niche market, the 20,000 Scout and Girl Guide badges will certainly be worth a pretty penny. The outbuildings and barns on the former farm offer great potential for restorer Robin Johnson. An African mask is broken and needs a trick of the trade for a neat repair, but it proves a fiddly job. The discovery of a Winston Churchill-related object sees Robin getting buff. At auction, Izzie needs to find a big dog a new home and get Ann to Uganda with the money needed to build a worthy legacy.

In this episode, the experts lend their skills to a community project, hear the story behind a new treasure to be repaired and visit a local crafting hero. Will and Dom are in Aberfeldy’s Crannog Centre, where visitors experience recreations of 5,000-year-old traditional dwellings. After a devastating fire three years ago put the project in jeopardy, thatcher Scott is looking to the future and building a new cookhouse, using traditional techniques and local materials. It could mean big business for the centre and increased opportunities to work with the local community, but creating Iron Age dwellings in the modern age is anything but simple. Will then heads off to Scone Palace, crowning place of Scottish kings, to meet a couple with a family heirloom in need of rescue. It’s a handwritten Gaelic piping music book, handed down from Ian’s great-grandfather Donald, known as the Hero of Alma after his actions in the Crimean War. Now severely damaged, the music in its brittle pages might be lost forever if bookbinder Chris Shaw cannot bring it back from the brink. Ian will never play the songs it contains, as he has been battling motor neurone disease for the past decade, but he hopes if Chris Shaw is successful, the book can be passed down to his own son, also named Donald in honour of his ancestor. Always in search of a new challenge, Dom joins a Perth-based family business whose handmade sporrans are the perfect accessory to Scotland’s famous kilts. It’s a critically endangered heritage craft that dates back to the 12th century, and the family is turning to technology to keep up with the challenge faced by cheaper, mass-produced versions made abroad. Dom is always eager to get on the tools, so what will his hosts make of his attempts at leatherworking?

Stacey and the team are in the Midlands to help dads Craig and Craig transform their three-bedroom semi. ‘Big Craig’, a hair salon owner, and ‘Little Craig’, a call centre operative, became fathers when they adopted their now five-year-old daughter. The two Craigs and their families have showered her with love – and a lot of toys. But it’s not just toys from well-meaning relatives, as self-confessed sentimentalist Big Craig has kept absolutely everything their daughter has ever owned, for fear of letting go of something that is part of her childhood and could be sentimental for her as she grows up. With Stacey and the team’s help, the family begin by packing all their possessions into boxes, stripping every item from their home to reveal the hidden potential beneath the chaos. Throughout the process, we get to know Big Craig, who not only keeps everything of his daughter’s, but has also built up a huge gin bottle collection over the last ten years. Little Craig, who is naturally more organised, harbours a love of crafting which has resulted in craft supplies being squirrelled away all over the house but little space to actually craft. The team learn about the joys and challenges of the adoption process, the fathers' unadulterated love for their daughter and their desire to get on top of the clutter so that they can potentially adopt again in the future. Once the house is packed, the family’s belongings are displayed in a vast warehouse – a striking art installation of their lives. Among the 400 boxes unpacked from the two Craigs’ home, the team find 195 pairs of shoes, 63 brushes and combs, 208 gin bottles... and 400 tampons which Little Craig was collecting for the homeless but had never got round to donating! Emotional moments unfold as Big Craig sorts through old toys, recalling the story of El being taken into care with just an armful of belongings, and the couple reflect on their desire to adopt again so that El can have a sibling. Big Craig also talks about his love of collecting, which came from his beloved grandad – a father figure and role model. Big Craig hopes to find his grandad’s old pipe, which he is sure he put somewhere safe but is nowhere to be found. Back in the Craigs' home, carpenter Rob faces the challenge of converting El’s bedroom into a bed-and-elevated play area, with built-in storage, in order to double her space for fun and games. Rob also plans to transform the garden room to give Big Craig a place to cut hair and Little Craig a place to craft with El... plus a gin bar for relaxing. After two long days at the warehouse, with the most treasured and essential items carefully chosen, Stacey and the team pack everything back into the house, transforming it into a functional home with a spare room that makes expanding the family a real possibility for the first time. Iwan spring-cleans, and Dilly uses her organisational expertise to ensure the very best systems are put in place for the family. It’s a race against the clock to complete the makeover before the family returns. Will the team’s efforts to declutter bring about the organised home that the Craigs have been dreaming of?

As with most Brits, the headlines that flash into Romesh’s mind when he thinks about Romania are those around communism, the 90s orphan crisis, maligned Roma and its greatest celebrity export, Count Dracula. But is this image justified? Or does Romania have more to offer?

Their first stop is the Scottish Boat Building School in Irvine, where Tom is waiting with a very unusual vessel. It’s a three-piece canoe designed in the 1930s and small enough to fit in the guard’s van of a train, which meant tourists could bring their own canoes on holiday in the years before owning a car was commonplace. It represents a different kind of freedom for Tom, though. His achondroplasia means a regular-size canoe is too difficult to manoeuvre. If this folding version can be fixed, he will finally have the freedom to take his daughter out exploring the waterways of Britain. Ayrshire is the birthplace of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns, and many of the towns and villages in the region can boast strong links to his life and works. So it’s no surprise that when Will is called to Barr Castle in Galston, he comes face-to-face with a very special artefact. It’s a windowpane with a hand inscription by Robert Burns himself. However, it has suffered some damage in the past, so for decades its current custodians have had it hidden away in a cupboard for safekeeping. With the help of ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay, they hope to once again put it on display. Fixing glass is notoriously difficult, and Kirsten definitely feels the pressure of getting such an important object looking back to its best. While in the area, Steve takes the chance to visit Kays in Mauchline, who have been crafting curling stones for over 170 years. Using a dense granite quarried from a single Scottish island, these dedicated craftspeople hone stones of unparalleled quality for use in the winter Olympics. Steve gets the chance to help with the process, but will it be gold, silver or bronze for his efforts?

Roman Kemp, with sidekick Sarah Greene, hosts the quiz show where contestants race in moving podiums across the studio floor. Correct answers get the players moving, while wrong answers will stop them in their tracks. Five contestants – Shauna, Andy, Doniya, Kathryn and Martin – battle across a series of fast-paced qualifiers and head-to-head races where the aim of the game is simple – make it to the finish line before your rivals. The winner then races against the track itself in an attempt to win the £5,000 cash prize.

The brainy quiz returns, but this time host Alexander Armstrong is joined by co-host Rose Matafeo. As always, contestants try to score as few points as possible by plumbing the depths of their general knowledge to come up with the answers no-one else could think of.

The Yorkshire Ambulance Service have already answered 300 calls for help when a new emergency comes in from police. They have received reports of a man in Harehills, Leeds, threatening to harm himself and the police officers attending. Due to the potential level of threat, multiple resources are dispatched, including the hazardous area response team. Meanwhile, Nagina and Mo must be ready to enter the building to treat any potential casualties. After clearing from their second job of the shift, married crewmates Jen and Elliott are dispatched to Paul, a 61-year-old male patient in Yeadon who is having difficulty speaking. After carrying out tests, the crew are concerned that Paul's symptoms may be indicative of a stroke and decide they must take him to hospital for specialist tests. Seven hours into the shift, and call volumes have more than doubled. With no crews available, dispatcher Joyce is struggling to allocate resources to the 25 patients waiting for an ambulance. After nearly two hours on scene in Harehills, the police prepare to force entry into the property, with Nagina and Mo following behind to treat anyone who might be injured. The police successfully de-escalate the incident. Relieved there are no casualties, Nagina and Mo are finally released from the scene, which means they are available to respond to an ongoing call for a 72-year-old male patient who has fallen down the stairs. On arrival, the patient’s worried wife watches on as the crew carry out their checks. They are concerned the patient may be suffering from a serious infection. In Leeds, Jen and Elliott are five minutes away from a Category 1 patient suffering a seizure at the train station. On arrival, the crew discover the patient is Polish, and the language barrier means they must use their detective skills to determine the cause of the seizure. Eventually, they learn that the patient and her mother have recently been made homeless and have no idea where to turn for help. For Elliott, the job sparks memories of when he first began his journey to become a paramedic, when he found himself homeless and living in a tent. It's the start of a new 12-hour shift for Yorkshire Ambulance Service. Crewmates Nagina and Mo are back on duty working across Leeds. They are immediately dispatched to a 94-year-old female patient, Audrey, whose carer found her on the floor, where she has been stuck since 5.00am. After ruling out serious injury, Nagina and Mo help Audrey to her feet and strongly suggest a trip to hospital to ensure she has not suffered further damage from her long time on the floor. But Audrey is stoic and decides a cup of tea will be enough to bring her back to full health. Whilst she sips her tea, Nagina checks in with the local home nursing team, who agree to visit Audrey and carry out some blood tests, which is enough to reassure Nagina a trip to hospital won’t be necessary. Critical care paramedic John is dispatched to a Category 1 call for a patient who has collapsed and is not breathing. The service receives a further nine calls for patients in cardiac arrest over the next hour, exposing the limited specialist resources available to help support ambulance crews. After over half an hour performing CPR, John and the team make the difficult decision to stop treatment and sadly break the news to the patient’s wife that he has died, despite their best efforts. Crewmates Jen and Elliott are available to travel to a male patient also found not breathing. As they are only seven minutes away, they will be first on scene to lead treatment before any specialist resources become available. Jen and Elliott manage to obtain an ROSC – a return of spontaneous circulation – for their patient and work quickly to transport him to hospital for further life-saving treatment.

In Edinburgh, 70-year-old Alister’s cycling accidents have resulted in a few knocks to his health and his confidence. Roman Kemp has a counterintuitive solution: easy exercise. It sounds backwards, but research shows that 'reverse' moves – like walking downhill instead of up, or lowering weights instead of lifting them – could deliver bigger gains in muscle strength, bone density and blood sugar control. Sometimes, the easy route really is the smart one.

It should have been a routine flight from London to Belfast. But on a January night in 1989, British Midland Airways Flight BD092 became the centre of one of Britain’s worst air disasters. Mid-flight, the plane started violently shuddering. With smoke and smells of burning, pilots shut an engine down and diverted for an emergency landing in the East Midlands. Yards from the safety of the runway, the plane plunged into an embankment at the side of the motorway. Despite catastrophic damage and wreckage drenched in aviation fuel, remarkably rescuers found survivors. Through deeply personal interviews, passengers recount the terror of those final moments and the unimaginable aftermath. Coming just weeks after a bomb destroyed the Pan Am 103 jet over the Scottish town of Lockerbie, air crash investigators scrambled to find a cause for the disaster. Rare archive footage and expert analysis uncovers the chain of decisions that sealed the fate of 47 passengers and injured dozens more. How did a routine flight turn into a catastrophe? And what lessons were carved from the wreckage to make flying safer today? From the terror in the cabin to the heroism on the ground, this is the story of the Kegworth air disaster, the crash that changed aviation forever.

Taiwan becomes a dangerous flashpoint as the battle for supremacy ramps up. Trump’s first term ends with relations with China at their lowest point for years as both countries deal with the devastating consequences of the Covid pandemic – or, as Trump called it, ‘the China plague.’ Xi’s government have high hopes for Trump’s successor, Joe Biden, but these are dashed after a frosty meeting in Alaska. Biden sparks further anger in Beijing when he signs a nuclear submarine deal with Australia and the UK, and takes on China over tech – before speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan brings the two superpowers closer than ever to military confrontation. Tensions remain high as Donald Trump takes over for his second term, throwing world politics into disarray. Top interviewees include US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, UK prime minister Boris Johnson, Australian prime minister Scott Morrison and Taiwan’s foreign minister David Lee, as well as top Chinese academics who give the inside track from Beijing.

Ever wondered how it would feel to be eaten by a pride of lions? Well now you can find out, because Kate and the team have managed to capture a prey’s-eye view of exactly what it would be like and possibly the most lethal Animal Park footage ever! There is also an update on one of the least successful love stories ever. Binturongs are a tree-dwelling mammal found in the rainforests of South East Asia. They are also considered vulnerable to extinction, so it’s important that animals in captivity do their bit to boost the numbers. But in the case of Baloo and Adana, things haven’t quite gone to plan. The keepers thought they would be the perfect match, but when they were first paired up, neither showed the slightest bit of interest. Things really went off the rails when Baloo was more interested in getting out of his enclosure than getting intimate with Adana. So will this be the year that this pair finally get it on? One thing is for certain. The committed keepers are not giving up on their mission of successfully breeding binturong babies, and today they put a new plan into action they hope might just do the trick. Wildlife cameraman Hamza Yassin is used to hiding himself away in the most secretive spots to get pictures of the planet’s most elusive animals, but today his challenge is a bit different. Hamza’s mission is to befriend a kangaroo, known as Brave, who is notoriously nervous around men. Can Hamza win him over?

Martel and Nitro are duelling with each other over ideas at a studio flat in London. We delve into the archives all the way back to 2009, when Martin was charmed by a Grade II listed house in Devon. Martin is also in Somerset, where another character property is ripe for reinvention.

First to arrive in the barn is John Wilson from London, with a battered survivor of heady days in the capital for upholsterer Sonnaz and paper conservator Angelina. The unique lamp belonged to John’s close friend Brian, who used to host lavish cocktail parties in the 1980s in his Soho flat in London. Everything in his bijou apartment was designed around the lamp. It was a period full of happy times, but then the Aids epidemic hit. Tragically, Brian was diagnosed as HIV-positive, and John became his carer and companion. Brian passed away in the mid-1990s, but not before gifting the lamp to John. However, sadly, over the years, it has become brittle and broken. Sonnaz and Angelina pair up to repair the cracks, sourcing a suitable material to fill in what has been lost, and get the lamp ready for the big switch-on. Next comes Chris Gosling from Surrey, who brings in some shoes with a surprising past for the attention of cobbler Dean. Chris’s father, George, was a great athlete, being a training partner for Roger Bannister’s pace-setting runs when he broke the four-minute mile. He wore the shoes when running the mile, achieving an impressive time of four minutes and 12 seconds. But George kept his passion a secret, with Chris only finding out about his father’s talent after he died. Wear has brought the shoes to a standstill, but now a multiple marathon runner himself, Chris is determined to see the shoes right again. Dean turns his attention to fixing the tears and repairing the stitching before buffing these elite running shoes back to their very best. Sisters Sara and Simone have travelled to the barn from Somerset, with an inherited gem that needs Richard Talman’s gift for salvaging sparkly things. The brooch belonged to their step-grandmother Jean Bull, but they sadly never met her. Jean, along with many other women from the local area of Somerset, took a shopping day trip to Switzerland in 1973, but the plane crashed and sadly Jean lost her life along with 107 other victims. The sisters each inherited a brooch from her – a red one for Simone and a green one for Sara. They wore them proudly when visiting Switzerland on the 50th anniversary of the crash. But when they returned, Sara accidentally put her brooch through the wash, leaving it bent and with gems missing. Richard works tirelessly to get the precious costume jewellery back into shape and to restore its sparkle ready to dazzle again. Finally, of the many talents beneath the barn’s thatch, Michael Whitehead has come from Lancashire hoping electronics wizard Mark Stuckey can revive a retro audio device. The reel-to-reel recorder belonged to Michael’s father Alan, who sang in pubs and clubs across Greater Manchester, and who used the device to record songs and learn the words prior to his performances. When he died, the music, sadly, died too in the family. With his hopes set on hearing his dear dad’s voice again on the reels, it’s down to Mark to make things right. With broken belts, a melted transformer and motor, and a faulty circuit board, Mark has a major catastrophe on his hands. However, determined to get the reel-to-reel recorder working again, he pulls out all the stops for Michael to hear the precious sound of his crooner father once again.

Coast ventures to the farthest-flung reaches of the British Isles to explore Life Beyond the Edge. Mark Horton is in Liverpool to meet an old friend. Brunel's famous ship, the Great Eastern, now lies beneath the mud, but Mark is resurrecting the story of her greatest triumph - how she conquered the Atlantic by connecting Britain's edge to America with 2,000 miles of telegraph wire. And Andy Torbet is on the island of Lewis attempting to follow in the footsteps of the sea shepherds, a style of farming that is slowly dying out.

The days are longer and the weather is a little warmer, so that means Beechgrove Garden is back with weekly updates and expert advice for gardeners of all abilities and experience. Carole Baxter and Brian Cunningham are back at Beechgrove to kick off the season with a range of great jobs that can be done right now and that will make your own plot both productive and attractive. It's Easter weekend, one of the most popular times of the year to get out into the garden, so Carole is planting up an Easter container that will bring colour and joy to your garden, deck or doorstep for weeks to come. It wouldn’t be a series of Beechgrove Garden without a potato crop to plant and look forward to, so Brian and Carole will be planting a number of varieties. It has now been ten years since the garden’s stem bank border was started, and Brian is back in there to start some much-needed maintenance-pruning, with planting to come, that will refresh that part of the garden. The stem bank border contains plants that are known for their attractive stems and range of colours that look best in winter. Last year, some of the Beechgrove presenters took part in a competition to see who could plant the most productive border. This year, there is a new challenge, which Brian and Carole will be revealing. And a trip to Edinburgh to catch up with what George Anderson is doing in his own garden in Joppa, and there are the week’s usual handy hints.

Two years ago, the government banned XL bully dogs, promising it would save lives. Panorama investigates whether that commitment has been kept. Attacks are still happening, the police say the law is difficult to enforce, and some animal charities say they are overwhelmed with abandoned dogs. Reporter Sam Poling hears from families who have lost loved ones after XL attacks and from owners struggling to stay on the right side of the law.

The two highest-scoring chefs from Northern Ireland must go head-to-head and cook their six-course menus again.
