Hotel Babylon Ep 5/8

Friday 24 July
9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE (Schedule addition 8 July)

It's spring-clean time at Babylon and Sam's main focus is on his team, as the drama set in a five-star hotel continues. He's enrolled them onto a team-building course to improve their performance, but Juliet isn't happy.

However, Sam is resolute and, as the gang attends the first set of exercises, the woman running the course identifies a serious problem in Juliet.

Meanwhile, Ben has befriended a homeless chap, Martin, who is masquerading as a hotel guest in order to have somewhere warm to sleep. Martin used to be a famous children's TV presenter but he's now fallen on hard times. Determined to rehabilitate him, Ben persuades Juliet to help. Wanting to prove her mettle to Sam, Juliet agrees and borrows a large sum of cash from Babylon to buy Martin a new suit and sends him for a job interview. But things go from bad to worse for Juliet when Martin seemingly disappears, along with valuables from the hotel.

Elsewhere, a large group of sci-fi geeks attend their yearly Captain Stranger convention, and Gino is bewitched by Mary, one of the attendees.

Denise Van Outen plays Mary and James Fleet plays Martin. They are joined by the regular cast of Nigel Harman, Alexandra Moen, Dexter Fletcher, Michael Obiora, Martin Marquez, Ray Coulthard and Danira Govic.

Athletics – London Grand Prix

Live event/outside broadcast
Friday 24 July
6.00-8.30pm BBC TWO

Hazel Irvine presents live action from Crystal Palace as the world's elite athletes finalise their preparations ahead of next month's World Championships in Berlin.

As always, the Grand Prix has attracted some of the biggest stars in athletics, with Usain Bolt and Yelena Isinbayeva as stand-out names.

Jamaican sprint sensation Bolt has won the 200m at Crystal Palace for the last two years but will now switch to 100m for the first time.

Russian pole-vault star Isinbayeva also seems to relish trips to South London. She has won the Grand Prix six times, setting three world records in the process. Like Bolt, she is a red-hot favourite for the World Championships.
