Are
You An Egghead? Ep 1/31 Monday 20 October

In the five years since Eggheads launched, hundreds of teams have gone head-to-head with arguably the most formidable quiz team in the country.
The challenge has always been "who has the brains to beat the Eggheads?" But now the question is: "Who has the brains to join them?"
Presented by Dermot Murnaghan, Are You An Egghead? offers the ultimate prize for quiz show enthusiasts – a place alongside the professional Eggheads.
This year a nationwide search was launched to find a brand new Egghead – a member of the British public brainy enough to join some of the brightest brains in Britain. Thirty two of the best quizzers in the country qualified for the series where they will compete in a knockout competition that features the current fearsome Egghead line-up of Kevin, CJ, Daphne, Chris and Judith.
In each episode two aspiring Eggheads go head-to-head in a series of question rounds. The prize for winning each round is to choose an extra "brain" for the final round – the brain of an Egghead. The contestants can call on the Eggheads for advice in the final round, but can only ask each of them for help once, so must be careful not to put all their Eggheads in one basket. The winning player goes through to the next round of the competition and takes one step closer to becoming an Egghead.
Among the contestants in this series are three £1million quiz show winners, three winners of Mastermind, Britain's Brainiest Nurse and Britain's Brainiest Estate Agent.

Bruce Parry meets a Kayapo warrior as he completes his epic Amazon journey
Bruce Parry's epic journey from the source of the Amazon high up in a Peruvian mountain to the ocean finally reaches the Atlantic coast.
Starting out on the last leg of the expedition, Bruce finds the forest giving way to grassland and cattle, the legacy of Brazil's new agricultural status as the world's largest beef and soya exporter, which are among the many causes of deforestation taking a toll on the environment.
Bruce joins those trying to stamp out some of the illegal practices, including the use of slaves on remote farms. But it's a tough battle – even protected areas such as the reserve home of the indigenous Kayapo tribe are constantly under threat.
Bruce dons war paint to join the Kayapo's "battle for nature", and explains why everyone in the western world should start caring more about what is really happening in the Amazon.

A camera crew works on Bollywood gangster movie Shot In Bombay
Storyville's autumn run continues on BBC Four with Shot In Bombay, a lively tale of glamour and chaos behind the scenes of a Bollywood gangster movie.
Bollywood is a world where anything is possible and this fast-paced documentary, populated by a charismatic and often surreal cast of characters, goes beyond the tinselly glamour to explore some of the industry's darker aspects.
With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to a star-studded, high-octane Bombay gangster movie, Shot In Bombay tells three entwined stories: the rise of the city's underworld in the Nineties, narrated by "Bombay's Dirty Harry"; the tribulations of superstar Sanjay Dutt, on trial for alleged involvement in gun crime; and a young director's dogged quest to master the delicate art of making a Bollywood blockbuster.
Building on more than ten years of excellence, BBC Four's flagship international documentary strand continues to enthral and entertain this autumn with a season of six definitive stories from around the world.
