Casualty – 'Til Death Do Us Part

Saturday 19 February
9.10-10.00pm BBC ONE
Is this the end of the road for Warren (Stephen Lord)?
Is this the end of the road for Warren (Stephen Lord)?

A feisty new clinical lead joins the team to keep Jordan on his toes; Jay makes a worrying discovery; and Warren awakes from his coma, in this week's edition of the medical drama.

Jordan is enjoying his new sports car but his good mood soon disappears when Henrik Hanssen reintroduces him to Miriam Turner – his old mentor and the new joint clinical lead. They immediately clash over the treatment of a pregnant Jehovah's Witness, Sarah, who is brought into the ED needing a blood transfusion. Sarah's husband, Jake, refuses treatment but Miriam wants to proceed anyway, despite Jordan's outrage at her dubious ethics. Jake stands fast and they are forced to deliver the baby prematurely. Will they find a way to save mother and baby without compromising their beliefs?

Meanwhile, Jay turns on the charm offensive on an attractive patient, Candy, but when she thinks he is gay, Noel and Big Mac can't help but laugh. To prove a point, Jay asks Candy out on a date – which she accepts. When he is about to head off on his date, after struggling with pains in his groin all day, he quickly looks up testicular cancer on the internet. His face turns ashen and he cancels his date with Candy.

Elsewhere, Kirsty's dreams of being with Adam are shattered by the arrival of Cathy, Warren's mum. Cathy knows all about the violence but she reminds Kirsty of her vows. Kirsty reluctantly puts a stop to things with Adam but it's too late – Warren has woken from his coma and Cathy's already told him.

Finding Adam, Warren warns him off but the effort takes its toll. When Kirsty finds Warren slumped on the floor and tries to help him, he punches her in the face. Finally realising that this is the final straw, Kirsty takes Nita and leaves. Unbeknown to her, though, her husband is taken back to resus with suspected DVT. Is this the end of the road for the abusive Warren?

Jordan is played by Michael French, Jay by Ben Turner, Warren by Stephen Lord, Henrik Hanssen by Guy Henry, Miriam by Cheryl Campbell, Sarah by Maimie McCoy, Jake by Babou Ceesay, Candy by Holly Matthews, Noel by Tony Marshall, Big Mac by Charles Dale, Kirsty by Lucy Gaskell, Adam by Tristan Gemmill, Cathy by Mary Jo Randle and Nita by Holly Earl.

My Life – Ballet Boys Ep 1/6

New series
Saturday 19 February
11.15-11.45am BBC TWO

The issues-led single documentary strand My Life returns to CBBC with six more films. From three ballet-dancing brothers from Liverpool to children struggling to stay awake with narcolepsy, My Life tackles a different subject each week, providing an in-depth look into the contrasting lives of some exceptional children living in the UK.

The series leaps off with Ballet Boys. Real-life Billy Elliots, brothers Jamie, 13, Michael, 11, and Adam, 9, from Liverpool, adore dancing and when they are not in ballet classes they can be found pirouetting down the aisles in weekly trips to the supermarket.

Elder brother Jamie, whose passion for dance knows no bounds, is currently a boarder at the prestigious Elmhurst School for Dance. He says: "I've got to dance, it's not that I want to, I've got to dance." Jamie's school days are long and require stamina, discipline and hard work, because as well as his strenuous dance lessons he has to also fit in his regular school work.

Back home in Liverpool, Michael and Adam have an important audition which might allow them to have additional free tuition – Adam is waiting to see if he got the part in a major new theatre production and Michael has to decide if he wants to follow in his brothers footsteps and try for a ballet school scholarship.

Other programmes in the series include Stammer School, which follows children at the internationally renowned Michael Palin Centre for Stammering Children as they go through an intensive course of speech and language therapy; Boy Racers, which follows 15-year-old karting champion Jake, who is keen to follow in the footsteps of Lewis Hamilton or Jenson Button, as he attempts to make his fast-moving dream a reality; Struggling To Stay Awake reveals the real battles faced by children with narcolepsy; and My Life also examines what it is like to be a young carer by following Ethan, whose mother and brother have a form of dwarfism called skeletal dysplasia.
