The "tooth" is out there for
Professor Gregory Parton
(Hugh Bonneville) Professor Gillian Magwilde and her team of archaeologists uncover another compelling mystery this week, as the high-risk exploration of secret Celtic chambers beneath the Roman Baths unlocks a love story past and present. The ancient and tragic tale of Celtic Warrior Queen Boudicca and Roman soldier Quintanus is unravelled in the present by Gillian and Ben, who confront their own unresolved relationship amidst dark, claustrophobic chambers.
When an Earth tremor at the Roman Baths dislodges highly toxic gas and the area is evacuated, Gillian has the opportunity to prove to her team that Boudicca was captured and imprisoned by Quintanus. The team's excavation uncovers 1st-century Celtic metalwork, a jawbone and an Iceni coin bearing the face of Boudicca. Gillian is positive that these are remnants of the Celtic villages described in an ancient text.
Gillian and Ben dig deeper into the chambers while Gregory and Viv apply strontium analysis to a tooth from the jawbone. When the tooth is proved to be Roman, Gregory and Viv question if Boudicca could have killed Quintanus, but Gillian discovers a mosaic of Cupid and a Celtic Queen and is convinced that this is a tale of love. Gillian's archaeological imagination leaps forward, while Ben attempts to be pragmatic and rational. Trapped by a cave-in and seeping gas, they are forced further into the caverns where they discover a minefield of Roman explosives.
Gillian and Ben confront their past and learn the truth of Boudicca's fate, while Gregory and Viv struggle to decode a cryptic clue from a palimpsest that could save their friends.
Julie Graham stars as Professor Gillian Magwilde, Hugh Bonneville as Professor Gregory Parton, Adrian Lester as Doctor Ben Ergha, Gugu Mbatha Raw as Viv Davis and Michael Maloney as Professor Daniel Mastiff.
Guest stars in this week's episode include: Jonathan Ais as Jeff Greenwood, Anthony Green as Marcus Quintanus, Shauna MacDonald as Boudicca, Jay Villers as Cassius and Sally Dexter as Gloria.

Winning gold is the dream of every athlete competing at the Olympics. But, for some, it means more than simply proving their sporting ability. Tonight's edition of Olympic Dreams follows those athletes from the underdog sports striving for recognition on the world stage in Beijing.
Lee Pearson is Britain's most successful Paralympic dressage rider, having won three gold medals at both the Sydney and Athens Paralympic Games. Born with a rare congenital condition, he is classified in the most disabled category of his sport and competes only with the aid of his dedicated staff. But his prize-winning horse has retired and he has to train a new horse from scratch in time for Paralympic selection. On top of the uncertainty about whether he will qualify, his principal sponsor drastically reduces his funding, pulling the financial rug from under him. Will he be able to keep going in his sport?
For BMX prodigy Shanaze Reade, it's the chance to show the world that BMX is more than kids doing tricks. At the age of 18, she has blasted her way to the top of her ranks in her sport, winning three junior and one senior World BMX championships since she started competing at the age of 10. With BMX making its Olympic debut in Beijing, Shanaze has the chance to prove that her sport is worthy of the Olympic stage and become one of the first BMX racers to take Olympic gold. But with her early days training on the streets of her hometown of Crewe behind her, can she adjust to the demands of elite Olympic sport and make it to Beijing?
Annie Vernon and Elise Laverick, meanwhile, are in the British women's rowing squad and are both pushing for selection into Olympic crews. They are both hoping that women's rowing can finally break out of the shadow of the men and win gold for the first time ever. For Annie, this would be her first time competing in the Olympics, while for Elise this is her last attempt to make it to the Games.
While men's rowing has garnered gold medals and glory over the last few years, the women rowers have not achieved the same success. The programme follows Annie and Elise as they push through the arduous process of selection. Will they make it into the Olympic women's crew and win a chance to make history in Beijing by bringing home gold for the first time?
Olympic Dreams is a co-production between the BBC and The Open University.

Jessica gets to grips with a
male model in this week’s task The competition grows fiercer this week as each of the four remaining girls realise that they have a real chance of winning, as the search for Britain's Missing Top Model continues.
The girls must think about more than just themselves in their shoots as their assignment is to partner up and work with professional male models.
They must capture a believable image of intimacy in their pictures, and their first step to creating this is a method modelling class, in which they get to grips with the guys they will be posing with. It's a lesson some certainly enjoy more than others, and it highlights a problem that Jessica, in particular, will have to deal with if she is to pull off her photo session successfully – she reveals she does not like physical contact with people.
But it's not just their pictures the girls will be judged on this week. Casting director Ilenka Jelowicki, who has cast feature films such as Shakespeare In Love, takes the girls and the male models through their paces at a TV commercial casting. Having to deliver lines is an obvious problem for Kellie Moody, who was born profoundly deaf. It's a task that reduces her to tears, but she must overcome this if she wants to continue in the competition.
With only three going through to the final week, the judges must make another heartbreaking decision and eliminate one of the girls. They have the unenviable task of deciding who has inspired them with their portrayal of intimacy and who has failed to fulfil the brief.

Mr G resigns when he's demoted from his position and stalks the school, in the penultimate edition of the award-winning mockumentary-style comedy written by and starring comedian Chris Lilley, set in an Australian high school.
Ja'mie, meanwhile, organises a fashion parade to raise money for Aids, but the real reason she needs the money is because she overspent on the Year 11 formal.
After the school bans Jonah from break-dancing, his father threatens to send him back to Tonga if there is any more trouble.
