Two classic Doctor Who adventures set on the planet of Peladon, starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, with Katy Manning as his companion in the first story and Elisabeth Sladen in the second. In the four-parter 'The Curse of Peladon' (1972), the Doctor (Pertwee) finally seems to have escaped his exile to Earth when he manages to transport Jo (Manning) in the Tardis to the planet Peladon. The pair are mistaken for Earth delegates at a conference to decide whether Peladon should join the Galactic Federation, and discover that someone is attempting to use the legendary royal beast of Aggador to trigger off a war. In the six-parter 'The Monster of Peladon' (1974), the Tardis arrives on the Planet of Peladon half a century after the Doctor's first visit. The planet has now become of great tactical importance because of its focal position between warring factions. The Doctor and Sarah (Elisabeth Sladen) have to act as peacekeepers between rival ambassadors and they must also find the truth behind 'the spirit'.

As Jane Austen approaches her forties, her success as a writer is assured and her witty and sharply observed romantic novels are widely admired. To her niece, Fanny Knight - a young, pretty girl desperate to fall in love - Jane is a favourite aunt who offers the wisdom and knowledge to help her in her own search for a happy marriage. Yet, when asked by Fanny to help her vet potential husbands, Jane's usual confident composure is threatened. Surely the woman so capable of writing love on the page must have experienced love herself, so why did she never marry? Protected by her wit, Jane has presented a front as dazzling as many of her novels young heroines, but as she reflects on her own romantic encounters and affairs, we are drawn into the passions, suitors and choices of her life - the cruel flirting, the proposals spurned and the love that seemed to arrive too late. As she recalls missed opportunities, the doubts arise. Did she make the right choice for herself and her family? Could the great romantic expert have been mistaken? And, could her principles about love and marriage possibly have been ill-judged?

There then follows a masked ball, a case of mistaken identity and mysterious, murderous goings on in this two-part homage to the golden age of English whodunnits.

The latest David Attenborough nature documentary series, shot in HD. This ambitious 2006 series, described as 'the definitive look at the diversity of our planet' was the first ever to be filmed entirely in high definition. Every episode but the first one looks at one of the Earth's natural habitats and examines its local features, together with the breadth of fauna found there. While filming it, the crew caught several firsts - places and animals never before caught on camera. The fact that it was co-funded by Discovery Channel, BBC and Japan's NHK, took 5 years to make and was shot in over 200 locations is apparent and the series is everything you'd expect from Sir David Attenborough and his team if they were unconstrained by budget or practicality.

In 1965 The BBC harnessed the talents of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore for a new show Not Only But Also. Building scripts from improvised recordings (although ad-libs and corpsing remained irresistible features of the final recordings), the young partnership created their own style of comedy including the memorable Dagenham Dialogues of the cloth-capped Pete and Dud, and Peter Cook's magnificent old duffer Sir Arthur Greeb-Strebling. The series continued until 1970 and remains a seminal landmark in TV comedy.
Versailles, 1672-1678. The Franco-Dutch war wages on, Louis XIV confronts his bitter rival, Guillaume d'Orange. But danger threatens the kingdom, even so far as the court of Versailles into which a deadly poison seeps. Louis has completed the first stage of his plan: to build the most beautiful palace in Europe far away from Paris, locking the nobility inside it and exercising absolute control. But the King has created a new and dangerous civilisation where courtiers are ready to do anything to get to the Sun. Behind a veneer of etiquette, they dream of ascending the social ladder to a world of wealth and power. Morality is waning, the poison spreads... Versailles is crumbling faster than it is being built. Blinded by his affection for Madame de Montespan, Louis is deaf to the Church's injunctions. The greatest enemy standing before him is no longer the nobility, nor is it Guillaume d'Orange. The palace that he himself designed could become his worst enemy. Wavering between mysticism and obscurity, diving into the dark side of power, will the king's downward spiral yet see his return to the light?
