Lee (Lee Mack) offers his services to Lucy (Sally Bretton)
Lee (Lee Mack) offers his services to Lucy (Sally Bretton)

Lucy is stressed, as the comedy starring Lee Mack continues.

She has an important speech to make at a recruitment conference and nobody to help her write it. Lee sees an opportunity to impress her and offers his services but at the expense of Tim, who also thinks he's the best man for the job.

What starts off as a small job now turns into a competition between Tim and Lee – not only to see who can come up with the wittiest lines, but also to establish which of them Lucy likes best.

Sally Bretton plays Lucy, Tim Vine plays Tim and Lee Mack plays Lee.

Davis Cup

Live event/outside broadcast
Friday 6 March
12.00noon-3.00pm BBC TWO

Sue Barker presents live coverage of Great Britain's Davis Cup tie against the Ukraine at the Braehead Arena in Scotland.

GB find themselves back in the Europe/Africa Zone Group One after losing their World Group play-off against Austria last September.

Once again, Andy Murray leads Britain's quest as they attempt to earn another chance to win promotion to the pool of elite nations. GB captain John Lloyd has opted for an unusual form of team selection, organising a six-man play-off to pick two of the other players.

Britain have a good record against Ukraine, winning all three of their previous meetings, including an impressive 3-2 victory on clay in Odessa, on the last occasion, three years ago.

CBEEBIES Friday 6 March 2009

Poetry Pie

Friday 6 March
4.50-4.55pm CBEEBIES

There are robots, a groovy dance, a visit to a shipwreck, a dog and a cat all stirred up and served in this week's final helping of Poetry Pie. Some of the nation's best-loved, contemporary poets have composed their contributions especially for CBeebies.

Charlie the alien opens the episode with his recital of Brian Moses's I Am A Robot before Mischa the hamster does Mike Kivi's Boogaloo. She wants: "... to be a pop star pleeeeeeze. Just give me half a chance to boogaloo and doo da do dat doo da doo da dance".

Then Amber the hermit crab dives deep down below the waves to take a look at Brian Moses's In The Shipwreck. And she finds a host of lively creatures – from jumping jellyfish and diving dolphins to rather scary sharks.

Evie the cow wants to tell everyone about Our Cat. Some days: "...She lets me give her a cuddle. She comes to me for a snuggle." But Dennis Carter's cat is capricious. Evie continues: "...She's just a little pest today. She licked my dinner yesterday."

And then the worms have their final turn of the week with Dog from the pupils of Temple Primary.

Grandpa In My Pocket Ep 19/26

Friday 6 March
5.30-5.45pm CBEEBIES

In this week's final instalment of Grandpa In My Pocket, the arrival of a poorly Great Aunt Loretta threatens to stop Grandpa and Jason going to the beach.

They're not the only ones who are upset. Aunt Loretta is really sad about being ill too. She's so poorly that she won't be able to go to Rick The Rocking Raver's concert that evening. She's completely despondent, as she is Rick's biggest fan.

Determined to get her out of the house, Grandpa (played by James Bolam) puts on his shrinking cap and embarks on a series of surprising cures.

First he hides in her handbag and tries to persuade her to take her medicine. Then he tries to soothe her by hiding in the bird box in the tree and singing to her like a tweeting bird. But nothing works.

Then Grandpa hits on the ultimate plan. With Jason's help, he hides behind the radio and pretends to be Rick The Rocking Raver sending a get-well message and playing a song for his biggest fan. Great Aunt Loretta is amazed and immediately starts feeling better – so much so that she rushes out of the house to the concert.

Grandpa and Jason can now go to the beach after all.
