Jimmy's Food Factory Ep 5/6

Wednesday 18 November

7.30-8.00pm BBC ONE

Jimmy Doherty tries to crack the secret recipe of cola manufacturers by attempting to make his own version of the fizzy drink, using such unlikely ingredients as lavender and coriander, as he continues his quest to uncover the secrets lurking in the contents of the supermarket trolley.

Jimmy builds his own production line in order to work out how you turn a humble potato into a hoop-shaped snack you can fit on your finger. He's also in for a special treat at the world's biggest ice-cream factory, where he discovers why it is the only frozen food you can eat straight from the freezer.

A visit to the UK's largest crisp factory is also on tonight's menu as Jimmy discovers how they make sure every crisp is crunchy.

Jimmy's Food Factory is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

• Press pack

The truth about Year 10 pupil Luke Pendle's home background becomes public knowledge, as the school drama continues.

Luke has kept the fact that he lives in a care home a secret from everyone, including his girlfriend Siobhan – who finds out the truth when she follows him home. Confused at his deceit, she confides in her best friend, Amy, who quickly spreads Luke's secret around school. After a day of snide and nasty comments, Luke snaps – only to have the full force of Max Tyler's authoritarian rule descend on him.

Steph, meanwhile, arrives for the first day of her teaching course but bunks off before lunchtime – sick of feeling professionally inadequate. Back at the school, Kim's day is spent organising the Waterloo Road Garden Project. She aims to create a quiet place for the students to retreat to – something that she can appreciate herself after getting caught up in Max and Rachel's increasing animosity. Elsewhere, Rose puts in a good word for Tom with Josh, who starts to believe his dad might be worth getting to know after all.

Rachel continues trying to reach out to Lindsay and encourages her to apologise for her recent treatment of Karla. However, after school, Rachel and deputy head Chris Mead manage to break up another confrontation between the Waterloo Road and ex-John Fosters girls just before it turns violent – the tension between the two factions is showing no signs of cooling off.

Richie Jeeves plays Luke Pendle, Siobhan Dynevor plays Siobhan, Ayesha Gwilt plays Amy, Tom Chambers plays Max Tyler, Denise Welch plays Steph, Angela Griffin plays Kim, Eva Pope plays Rachel, Elaine Symons plays Rose, Jason Done plays Tom, William Rush plays Josh, Jenna Louise Coleman plays Lindsay and Jessica Baglow plays Karla.

Ros (Hermione Norris) is held hostage

The exclusive and powerful Bendorf group, made up of the eight richest men in the world, is meeting on British soil and Section D must find out what is being planned, as the spy drama continues.

Ros is sent undercover and attends the meeting, but what should be a routine operation becomes a life-or-death situation when a group of armed terrorists take everyone hostage.

The hostages, including Ros, are being held in an underground bunker – there's only one way out and it's rigged with explosives.

Harry sends in Lucas and Jo to assess the situation and, as they arrive at the scene, the situation worsens when leader of the terrorists, Finn Lambert, puts Thomas Mickelson from the Bendorf group on trial and broadcasts it live to the world, online.

Back on the Grid, Harry, Ruth and Tariq watch in horror as Lambert produces damning evidence of Mickelson's alleged crimes before inviting the public to vote on the outcome of the trial. The verdict is a resounding "guilty" and the team waits nervously to see what Lambert will do next.

Section D has to stop him and it seems their only hope is if Ros can persuade Lambert's girlfriend, Nina, to help her. However, as things start to go her way the tables suddenly turn – leaving one of Section D in an impossible situation.

Ros is played by Hermione Norris, Harry by Peter Firth, Lucas by Richard Armitage, Jo by Miranda Raison, Finn Lambert by Pascal Langdale, Thomas Mickelson by Tom Mannion, Ruth by Nicola Walker, Tariq by Shazad Latif and Nina by Antonia Campbell-Hughes.

Andrew Marr goes back to the Twenties as his investigation into the Making Of Modern Britain continues

Andrew Marr reaches the Twenties, in tonight's fourth film in his new history series.

Imperial Britannia is sliding from view and a more modern Britain is trying everything new and asking endless questions about how we should live our lives. A great new age of experiment has arrived in politics, writing, art, sex and drugs. After the trauma of the Great War, survivors throw themselves into the new urban scene of nightclubs, cocktails and jazz, where royalty, gangsters and Hollywood stars rub shoulders with new money.

With rare archive footage, Andrew tells the story of the post-war housing boom; the birth of radio broadcasting and the creation of the BBC; and revolutionary union activities on "Red" Clydeside.

Michael Collins risks his life by negotiating with Lloyd George over Ireland and his death kicks off a bloody civil war that is feared by some to be the beginning of the end of the British Empire. The modern scourge of political sleaze engulfs Lloyd George in a cash-for-honours scandal involving blackmail, spies and the strange disappearance of a radical MP.

The nine-day General Strike and the Wall Street Crash bring Britain's roaring Twenties to a dramatic close. As the cocktail party of the decade comes to an end, there are uncertain times ahead for Modern Britain.

Artists today live in a world where the contemporary art bubble has burst in recent years. Previous recessions have spawned new types of artists and art historian Dr Gus Casely-Hayford embarks on a journey to discover if the recent economic crash is having this same effect, in State Of The Arts, part of BBC Two and BBC Four's Beauty Season.

To know where art is, you have to look at its history, and it is a history of rebellions. Ever since Duchamp's Fountain, artists have been taking "shock" to a whole new level. The conceptual art from the Young British Artists (YBAs) came about with the help of people like Andy Warhol and the financial boom in the Eighties.

These artists were celebrities, preoccupied with the mass market. They were rebels and their influence and artwork prices skyrocketed. Times are changing and, for Gus, it is time to look beyond the YBAs for answers. There is a new generation of artists who are reacting to today's YBAs – a group of undergraduates, from Glasgow, who have put on a show of their work in Shoreditch. Gus explores this work and is struck by how aesthetically driven it seems.

On his journey, Gus spends time talking to a range of artists at different stages of their careers to find out what they are making, where they are making it and where they think art is going in the future. Among others he meets Sir Anthony Caro, one of the greatest living sculptors, Turner Prize-winner Grayson Perry and emerging artists – from a squatter who wants to set up a London art house to a collective who think they've created a new movement. There is so much going on, almost too much for Gus to take in.

Gus concludes that artists are going through a more reflective period. The market has been in control for too long and it is time for art to take over again. Artists are thinking about technique and skill and their relationship to history and, as a consequence, the art scene is thriving. It is fertile ground from which he concedes great new artists will emerge.

The Modern Beauty Season examines the perception of beauty both in modern and classical art forms through a collection of films on BBC Two and BBC Four.
