Mark Womack and Lee Boardman star in Bully, the second of five new dramas for BBC One Daytime by upcoming writers and with Jimmy McGovern as executive producer.

A father attempts to toughen up his son but, in doing so, finds he unleashes a chain of events that look impossible to stop.

Ken is a husband and father who wants the best for his family. He works hard at the local factory and does well at his job. Ken's disappointed that his son, Andrew, isn't more like him and encourages him to be tougher, but he doesn't realise that his actions may very well destroy his family.

Les is Ken's work colleague and a good friend. Their relationship becomes strained, however, after they take a family holiday together. But when Les sees Andrew hurt his son, Ryan, he becomes angry and threatens him. And, when Andrew suddenly goes missing, everyone begins to suspect that Les is involved.

Ken is played by Lee Boardman and Les by Mark Womack. Bully is directed by Gary Williams and written by Marc Pye.

Blood, Sweat And Takeaways Ep 1/4

Tuesday 19 May

9.00-10.00pm BBC THREE

• www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree

When it comes to food, the Brits are spoilt for choice. Many simply take it for granted that it's possible to buy whatever food they want, whenever they want it, all year round. But what about the human cost of producing all this cheap food for our convenience?

In the follow-up to the Bafta-nominated BBC Three series Blood, Sweat And T-shirts, six young British consumers travel to South East Asia to see just what's involved in producing the food they take for granted. The intrepid six are fussy eater Jess (19), fast-food fan Manos (20), fitness fanatic Olu (25), luxury food lover Lauren (21), keen cook Josh (20) and ethical shopper Stacey (20).

They must catch, harvest and process food products that are eaten every day in the UK, as they go behind the scenes of the tuna, prawn, rice and chicken industries. They also eat, sleep and live with the food workers in the poorest regions of Indonesia and Thailand and see how they fare living on the same wage – the average for such workers being around £3 a day.

In tonight's first instalment, the Brits enter Indonesia's tuna industry in Bitung, on the island of Sulawesi. In the UK, over a billion tins of tuna are consumed each year and Bitung's canneries supply many of our supermarkets and sandwich chains.

Living with the workers in their basic conditions, the Brits endure the 90-degree heat of the tuna canneries and struggle with the harsh realities of life on a traditional wooden tuna boat in the Western Pacific. The extreme conditions affect them all – as does the hand-to-mouth existence of those they are living with.

After seeing the reality, will biting into a tuna sandwich ever be the same again?

Next week, the food lovers journey on to live and work alongside workers in the prawn industry.

Waybuloo – Trumpet Ep 1/20

The Piplings interact with children in CBeebies' new pre-school programme

Younger viewers are welcomed to Nara this week, the home of the Piplings and gateway to Waybuloo. Launching exclusively on CBeebies, Waybuloo is a philosophy for a happy life brought vividly to life through a combination of live action and cutting-edge CGI animation. Together, the four animated Piplings interact with real children – Cheebies – to explore and experience natural and spontaneous routes to happiness through warmth, friendship, co-operation and citizenship.

When a Pipling is happy they achieve buloo – a warm feeling of emotional harmony that is experienced as floating. A hug or a helping hand results in a small moment of buloo. When children, Piplings and viewers co-operate, and everyone achieves a shared moment of discovery or happiness, then buloo is experienced as euphoric dancing, spinning and floating above the tree tops and amongst the clouds.

In today's opener, Yojojo and Nok Tok find a hollowed-out, trumpet-like branch and blow through it to make a loud noise. They're so delighted with the sound that they blow even harder. Every time they blow, they are overwhelmed with joy at the sound that it makes. But there's a problem – Lau Lau is trying to dance with her narabug and the loud noise keeps scaring it away.

When the Cheebies arrive, they show Nok Tok and Yojojo a way of playing the trumpet more softly. Eventually, they manage to produce such a gentle tune that the narabugs actually like the sound and come back to dance with Lau Lau.
