Michelle tells Ruth the latest about her relationship with Mike, but is also keen to find out more about the new partner, as the Midlands-set medical drama continues. Archie tells Michelle about Heston and his attitude to nurses so, when she meets Heston, she informs him that he hasn't made the best impression.

 

Archie treats the injuries of a would-be stuntman who has fallen down the stairs and who has planted a stink bomb in the Campus surgery for a laugh.

 

At the Pageman's, the bar is closed while Jack struggles to come to terms with his son's death. He hints to Eva and Matt that there are holes in their story, but Eva manages to cover up. When Jack calms down, Eva manages to get him to admit killing a police officer in Newcastle.

 

When Eva is overheard reporting back to her DCI that she has evidence against Jack, she is forced to make an excuse and leave the pub. Jimmi, who is outside watching, sees Jack and Matt follow her to a secluded car park where Jack confronts her. She admits to killing Callum to protect Poppy. To Jimmi's horror Matt shoots Eva in the chest and then he and Jack escape in their car. A devastated Jimmi runs to Eva, falling to his knees next to her slumped body.

 

Michelle is played by Donnaleigh Bailey, Ruth by Selina Chilton, Mike by James Carlton, Archie by Matt Kennard, Heston by Owen Brenman, Eva by Angela Lonsdale, and Jimmi by Adrian Lewis Morgan. Jack is played by guest star James Gaddas, and Matt by guest star Chook Sibtain.

BBC TWO Monday 20 October 2008
Are You An Egghead? Ep 1/31
Monday 20 October
4.30-5.15pm BBC TWO

     

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.

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.

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.

The series features children from across the country showing adventure-loving Ziggy their favourite activities such as playing basketball, visiting the park, or growing vegetables.

 

Sportacus introduces the CBeebies audience to an exercise each day; this week it's jumping jacks and stretching. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Trixie are in the kitchen making energy food which is good for the mind, and a snowman made out of candy.
