´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 DJs Bobby Friction and Nihal help revamp classical pieces into pop tracks as Clash continues

Indie band The Noisettes make a special appearance in the second episode of Clash, the new C´óÏó´«Ã½ series which sees ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio 1 DJs Bobby Friction and Nihal swap bhangra for Beethoven as they join forces with musically talented children in a head-to-head contest to revamp two well-known classical pieces into pop tracks.

Two teams of five children, led by Bobby and Nihal, are tasked with deconstructing and reworking a classical piece, mixing musical styles and blending beats in a series of fun musical challenges. At the end of the series, they will be pitted against each other in the grand finale playing their new, mashed-up musical pieces live at a leading music festival.

In programme two, the teams concentrate on sounds and are told that pitch is everywhere and that everything has a pitch. Dispatched to the unlikely venues of a farm and a toyshop, the teams have to collect sounds to create a new version of Don't Upset The Rhythm by The Noisettes. They then play their finished tracks to the band, who judge which is best.

Clash is simulcast on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD channel, the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

Grace (Olivia Grant) makes a dramatic return

Events reach an emotional and thrilling climax at the Hartmann Payne party as Lucy, Midge, Nicole and Sid learn the shocking truth about Grace, in the exciting finale of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Three's sexy office drama.

With Crawford still holding the girls at gunpoint, Midge frantically goes in search of their captors' focus of revenge, Rock Van Gelder, but he's nowhere to be found. Unexpectedly, the girls' salvation comes in the shape of Grace.

Making a dramatic return, Grace tries to persuade Jane to call off her engagement to Richard and give their relationship a proper chance. But Jane can't deal with how people will react and grows increasingly frantic after discovering the PAs know all about their secret liaison.

In a last-ditch attempt to prove that she's not gay, Jane makes a move on PA Robbie but, when they kiss, all she sees is Grace. Bob gatecrashes the party to try to win back the affections of his wife, Lucy, but she's unsure that they have a future together following his infidelity. Affairs of the heart then take a back seat after Ian makes Lucy an offer she can't refuse...

Elsewhere, Sid and Rock behave like awkward teenagers around one another following their disastrous kiss, while Avi finally faces up to his feelings for Midge. But the young PA has other things on her mind – she is convinced that her boss, Simon, is really the mysterious Adam Hartmann and has undergone extensive plastic surgery to conceal his true identity.

Simon tries to make Midge see reason – why would he change his identity, marry his twin sister, Evie, and then come to work in the family business? But Midge has made up her mind.

The truth proves to be more shocking than the girls could ever have anticipated as secrets and lies unravel. The consequences prove fatal for one Hartmann Payne employee and life will never be the same for Lucy, Midge, Nicole, Sid and Grace.

Lucy is played by Laura Aikman, Midge by Annabel Scholey, Nicole by Maimie McCoy, Sid by Ruth Negga, Grace by Olivia Grant, Crawford by Al Weaver, Rock Van Gelder by Robert Gant, Jane by Archie Panjabi, Richard by Jeremy Sheffield, Robbie by Jamie Davis, Bob by Joe Absolom, Ian by Mark Benton, Avi by Kieran Bew, Simon by Darren Boyd and Evie by Ruta Gedmintas.

In How To Be Old, Nigel Planer's alter-ego Nicholas Craig, master of invention, theatrical historian and "absolutely bloody passionate" actor, examines the intricacies, pitfalls and sheer gruelling hard work which goes into the art of being old, as the Grey Expectations season of programmes dedicated to understanding life's twilight years continues.

Craig looks at some of the options open to the faltering actor: Casualty patient; Dickensian "character"; put-upon, slipper-shuffling pensioner in peril.

He examines the range of opportunities in TV commercials: smiling grandfather and smiling health insurance patient. Technique, script and choreography, together with prop-handling and choice of cardigan, are all up for debate.

Anyone keen on surviving the cut and thrust of old age in the fast lane should look no further than the extraordinary tour de force that is Craig – actor, Renaissance man and would-be pensioner.

The Chaser comedy team launch a real-life assault on everyone and everything, in this week's episode of the Australian satirical show.

Will prominent religious leaders accept apples from a giant serpent? How tolerant will passengers be of a blind taxi driver who swerves all over the road? And will Clive the slightly-too-loud commuter find a cure for his elbow herpes?

Produced by the group (Chris Taylor, Julian Morrow, Craig Reucassel, Andrew Hansen and Chas Licciardello), the sketch-and-stunt series was nominated for the Rose d'Or, probably due to a bureaucratic error. In its native Australia, the War On Everything won a swag of awards which the Chaser team assures the ´óÏó´«Ã½ are very prestigious.

Yojojo finds a songbird in today's episode of the pre-school series set in the magical land of Nara.

The songbird sings beautifully and Yojojo plays along on his Pipling pipes. He puts the songbird into a basket to show the other Piplings but, when they arrive, Yojojo is puzzled because the songbird will no longer sing.

The other Piplings offer the songbird different things to make it sing, but the bird stays silent. When the Cheebies arrive, they tell Yojojo that birds don't like to be kept in baskets, so Yojojo sets the bird free.

The bird flies high into the trees and everyone plays whistles to bring it back down. Together the songbird, the Cheebies and the Piplings make beautiful music together.
