undercover The British economy is on the brink of collapse and speculation over the identity of the next troubled bank creates panic across the city, as the spy drama continues.
Having identified the man behind the rumours as Alexis Meynell, a businessman famous for exploiting vulnerable economies, the team at MI5 fears he will bring Britain to its knees.
Ros is sent undercover as an employee at Meynell's firm to find out exactly what he's planning. Lucas joins the investigation, playing the role of Ros's fiancé. However, unbeknown to him, Asa Darlek, Meynell's right-hand man, recognises him from his days in Russia.

Having made such a sacrifice, can Ros use her relationship with Meynell to save the British economy from disaster?

Joseph Stalin's unlikely allegiance with
Churchill and Roosevelt is investigated as
Laurence Rees's new series continues
The beginnings of Stalin's unlikely allegiance with Churchill and Roosevelt, following his betrayal by the Nazis, is investigated as Laurence Rees's, new series which takes a fresh look at the Second World War, continues.
In 1941, the Soviets were struggling to repel a Nazi invasion. The Red Army was simply too ill-trained and too ill-equipped to stop the Germans. In just seven days, the Soviets had lost over 100,000 soldiers.
Stalin was now at his weakest and he thought his new allies, the British, weren't doing much to help. Churchill was in two minds about the Soviet Union. He despised Communism, but he also valued anyone who fought against the Nazis.
Stalin knew he needed all the allies he could get. And he was about to gain another much more powerful one in America, when Germany and Japan joined forces. Having been betrayed by his first ally, as the war progressed, Stalin was convinced that the British and the Americans might be almost as duplicitous.
World War II – Behind Closed Doors draws on extensive research in the Russian and Western archives and on the extraordinary testimony from witnesses of the time, including former Soviet secret policemen who have not spoken before on camera.

star in BBC Three's comedy
about the world's first human
clone To a massed audience of military and secret service hierarchy, in a bunker buried deep below a Tesco Metro, brilliant scientist
Dr Victor Blenkinsop unveils the result of his life's work: the first human clone.
Intended to be a prototype super soldier, who will eventually replace Britain's volunteer Army, Victor discovers – to

world for the first time. This modern-day Dr Frankenstein and his monster go on the
run hoping to find the neurological trigger that will fix the clone and unlock his superhuman abilities.
Unfortunately, they must also avoid Colonel Black and his crack team of security agents, whose mission is to find them and
kill them.
Dr Victor Blenkinsop is played by Jonathan Pryce, the Clone by Stuart McLoughlin, Colonel Black by Mark Gatiss, bartender Rose
by Fiona Glascott and Ian, Dr Blenkinsop's long-suffering assistant, by Oliver Maltman.

Perky masters the art of balloon
modelling this week The porcine adventures of twin brothers Pinky and Perky continue this week in the animated series which gives the famous pair of pigs a 21st-century make over.
On Monday, Sporticle, a keep-fit guru, arrives at PPC TV, bans sugar-laden treats and implements a vigorous exercise regime. The hungry pigs struggle to find anyone for their new slot, "Pinky and Perky Investigates", but when Sporticle confiscates every snack in sight and tries to sell his own range of "healthy" products instead, Pinky and Perky smell a rat, and their first investigation is under way.
Tuesday finds Perky mastering the art of balloon modelling. Using every opportunity to show off his new-found talents, he also meets Gertie Bonkers, a rather overzealous fan in awe of Perky's balloon-bending talents. But, as show-time approaches, Perky starts to worry that Gertie may be a little too enthusiastic.
In Wednesday's show, From Rasher With Love meets Live And Let Sty when Pinky and Perky become top-secret super spies.
After watching lots of spy films, Pinky decides to become a super spy. Once at PPCTV, Pinky practices his hiding skills on Perky, but when Perky accidentally interrupts Morning, Morning, Morning while searching for Pinky, Vera and Eric come up with a dastardly plan to set the two Piggy heroes against each other and take The Pinky & Perky Show off air for good. Will Pinky and Perky ruin their own show? Or will they uncover a real spy on his own secret mission?
Pinky is crowned the new guitarist for Bat Sabbath by lead singer Batty Belagosi on Thursday, leaving Perky to do the show solo. However, when Pinky's performance is less than spectacular and Perky seems lost by himself, it doesn't take them long to realise that they're much better off together.
Rounding off the week, Pinky is convinced that he has created his biggest Powerpig & Porker episode ever. However, things take a turn for the worse when Pinky's precious characters take on a life of their own and cause havoc by being rude about everyone. When Sir Percival commissions a terrible new cartoon series to take its place, Pinky wonders if the mysterious and attractive visitor, Barbara Hannah, has anything to do with it.
