When the severed hand of a young male is found close to Harold Penton's estate, Hale is convinced that Penton is guilty of rape and murder, as the new forensic crime drama starring Tara Fitzgerald and Keith Allen continues.

A wealthy business man, Penton is also a recluse and very keen to protect his privacy. His bodyguard, Jimmy West, does his best to prevent Hale from getting too close, insisting, along with Penton's doctor, that he is too ill to be questioned.

The Bomb Squad reveals what it's like to be a bomb disposal operator working in Afghanistan for the first time.

Bomb Disposal Operator Rod arrives in Afghanistan in late December 2010. He's assigned a team and sent out to a small army base to deal with IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices). But even his first job holds unexpected surprises.

The Counter IED Task Force is made up of a number of small teams, code name Brimstone, that include bomb disposal operators and the searchers who look for IEDs in the most dangerous areas. During this tour the Brimstone teams take on the biggest counter-IED operation ever undertaken in Afghanistan – to clear an abandoned village of IEDs so families can move back in.

Search Team 9 are involved in the clearance of Char Coucha village. Three months into their tour, they've already suffered casualties – of the original team of seven, only four remain.

Historian Dan Snow retraces the career of Nottingham-born artist Arthur Spooner and sets out to discover whether art can really sustain and inform people's memories and knowledge of the past.

In a programme inspired by Your Paintings, a major new arts initiative from the BBC and The Public Catalogue Foundation which aims to display the nation's full oil painting collection online, Snow examines paintings by Spooner (1873-1962) whose work is scattered across the region.

Spooner's best-known painting, of Nottingham's world famous Goose Fair, hangs in the Nottingham Castle Museum, but deep in the bowels of the museum lies his 1949-commissioned work of the visit of the then Princess Elizabeth to Nottingham.

Snow also discovers the real story behind two canvases hanging on the wall of a college in the middle of Sherwood Forest. He sets out to solve the mystery and to test the artist's historical accuracy.
