The Orphans Who Survived The Concentration Camps

Unplaced
Day and time to be confirmed 大象传媒 ONE (Title change 24 March)

To mark Passover 2010, 大象传媒 One tells the remarkable story of 300 Jewish orphans who survived Nazi ghettos, extermination camps and "death marches" across frozen Europe, and who eventually found peace and recuperation in Windermere.

One of the many tragic aftermaths of the Holocaust was the hundreds of Jewish orphans who were left without a home to return to. The Red Cross appealed to the Allies for help and Britain offered to find homes for 1,000 children under the age of 16.

The first 300 boarded the RAF's Stirling Squadron in August, bound for recuperation in the clean air of Windermere. Home was a disused factory site staffed by volunteers. On arrival in Windermere, one survivor, Arek Hersh, remembers "borrowing" bikes and exploring the countryside in his underwear as it was several days before clothes could be found for everyone. Cumbrians with long memories recall the impact the group made, including the local bakery struggling to meet demand as survival instincts took over, and at meal times, huge quantities of bread disappeared into children's pockets.

The group remained in Windermere for about six months before being dispersed to hostels in cities around Britain. Eventually, they left to begin the task of building new lives, both in this country and abroad. Over the years they have kept in touch with each other and even formed their own society, but few have spoken publicly about what they endured.

As they now look back on their lives, many recognise the importance of sharing what happened to them and so some of the survivors have agreed to provide what may be the last chance to hear their remarkable story in Holocaust 鈥 Escape To Windermere.

Alys Fowler reveals how easy it is to grow fruit and vegetables in the garden

Alys Fowler shows gardening newcomers and enthusiasts alike how easy it is to grow fruit and vegetables in among shrubs and flowers, in this new series.

In the small back garden of her Victorian terraced house in Birmingham, Gardeners' World presenter Alys has set out to grow enough food for her and her husband to eat at least one good meal a day for a large part of the year.

But rather than converting her garden into an allotment with regimented rows of plants, Alys is growing her fruit and vegetables among her shrubs and flowers so that the garden remains beautiful as well as productive. The series follows her across the growing year as she transforms her small patch into a place where peas climb up roses, beetroot sit happily next to sunflowers and dwarf beans and lettuces edge the path.

This week, Alys introduces viewers to peas and beans 鈥 prolific vegetables which also look beautiful in the borders. Alys grows enough to eat fresh and to store some for the winter. She makes delicious broad bean falafels and pea-shoot cocktails, and forages for willow stems to make plant supports. Alys also acquires some additions to the family along the way 鈥 two chickens, Gertrude and Alice B.

Alys's mission is to prove that growing and cooking your own fruit and vegetables is hugely rewarding, cost effective and life-enhancing.

Says Alys: "The thing about growing your own vegetables is that because they are fresh and you grew them yourself they do taste better 鈥 you really can taste your hard work!"

Those new to growing their own vegetables can visit 大象传媒 Learning's Dig In website at bbc.co.uk/digin for expert advice, information and encouragement and regular updates throughout the growing season. Viewers can also look out for recipes and news of a nationwide Dig In Tour.

Kathryn Rayward and Mark Hill embark on a myth-busting mission

Cracking Antiques is on a myth-busting mission to prove that people can add style and glamour to any type of home by investing in antique, vintage and retro furnishings, without breaking the bank.

Presented by interior designer Kathryn Rayward and antiques expert Mark Hill, Cracking Antiques shows that antique and vintage objects are often a better made, more stylish and cheaper alternative than much of what the high street has to offer.

Each week, Mark and Kathryn will be on hand to guide a novice second-hand shopper through the dos and don鈥檛s of buying old and help to create a truly unique room.

Rebekah Prince from Essex wants to transform her characterless and dated bedroom. She longs for an opulent French bedroom with bags of 鈥渨ow factor鈥, but buying the rococo look straight from the shops can come with a hefty price tag. Mark and Kathryn help her achieve that dream by hunting out French antiques and vintage items to create a glamorous, lavishly appointed boudoir for a lot less money.

Throughout the series, Kathryn offers interior design ideas and practical suggestions on how to create stunning one-off pieces by customising furniture, while Mark is on hand with his top tips and helpful advice on the items to buy now that could go up in value in the future. A careful hunt around junk shops, antiques markets and charity stores can still turn up items that are under-priced or out of fashion.

This week, the programme reveals the smart buys in vintage glassware and stylish Ercol furniture and how to transform a shabby standard lamp into one that鈥檚 as good as new.

Cracking Antiques provides the all-important guide to furnishing a home with classic pieces, how to bag a bargain and how to buy an investment piece for the future.

But is it too late for Monica to let Jerry know that she does appreciate him after all?

Elsewhere, Yuki is distraught over the botched intubation and not entirely sure he was to blame. He is anxious to get to the bottom of events. Overcome with guilt, May confesses to him that she was actually at fault. Shocked that she lied to him, Yuki nevertheless agrees to stand by her and sacrifice his career while she owns up to Jordan. May has to decide whether to confess all to the senior medic or sacrifice friendship for ambition once more.

Meanwhile, Jay's future is still on the line over the clinical trial incident. When the lost medical notes which could clear him finally turn up at the ED, Fairfax gets to them first and tells Ruth that the notes prove Jay is at fault and, for Jay's sake, it's best that he doesn't see them. A distracted Ruth concurs. At the incident review Henry says that, without the notes, the case is still inconclusive but Ruth's subsequent outburst is quashed by Fairfax. Highly suspicious, Jay vows to find out the truth...

Alan Davies and Sheridan Smith return in a new episode of Jonathan Creek
Alan Davies and Sheridan Smith return in a new episode of Jonathan Creek

When a young woman becomes seemingly possessed by the spirit of a Victorian sorceress, illusionist Jonathan Creek and intrepid investigator Joey Ross must fight to prove she is innocent of murder, as the supernatural detective drama returns for a one-off special.

In a lofty old timbered house on the outskirts of London, mystery surrounds the strange death of a former owner, Dr Thadeus Northcote, who, in 1889, fell victim to the supernatural powers of his Egyptian housekeeper and secret lover, the sensuously beautiful Selima Al Sharad. Spurned by her master, she is said to have sealed his fate by correctly predicting the exact time and day he would meet a dreadful, agonising death 鈥 apparently without any physical or rational explanation.

More than a hundred years later the house, Green Lanterns, has become home to celebrated crime writer Hugo Dore and his publisher wife, Harriet. But even he has been unable to unlock the riddle of Dr Northcote's death.

And when he rescues sweet young Emily Somerton from her menial job in a shoe shop to assist his ageing housekeeper Mrs Gantry, the malign presence of her Victorian predecessor once again appears to stalk the house...

Gradually, Emily becomes convinced she is losing her mind, as a series of mysterious developments suggest she is no longer in control of her own actions 鈥 and that an unearthly force is encouraging her to commit murder...

Perhaps a chance meeting with a likeable young man in a duffel coat will offer an avenue of hope?

After a friendly drink with Jonathan Creek at his London hotel the signs couldn't be more auspicious. But as the two of them look set for a romantic night together, things take an unexpected turn for the worse ... and Emily is once again left feeling alone, confused and threatened.

With events at Green Lanterns beginning to spiral out of control it is down to Joey to repair the relationship between Creek and Emily, and set the scene for a strange investigation that will take them, ultimately, to the site of the eerily isolated Judas Tree ... where the solution to the mystery proves more bizarre and shocking than either of them could have imagined.

Alan Davies plays Jonathan Creek, Sheridan Smith plays Joey Ross, Paul McGann plays Hugo Dore, Sasha Behar plays Harriet Dore, Natalie Walter plays Emily Somerton and Doreen Mantle plays Mrs Gantry.

Jonathan Creek is simulcast on the 大象传媒 HD channel 鈥 the 大象传媒's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

Are Christians Being Persecuted?

Easter Sunday 4 April
10.50-11.50pm 大象传媒 ONE (Schedule addition 24 March)

Recent press coverage has highlighted a number of cases that have placed the spotlight firmly on the treatment of the Christian faith in the UK. From the marking of Christmas with "Winter Light Festivals", to Christians making high-profile court appearances to defend their right to wear a Cross at work and nursing staff defending their right to offer to pray for patients in their care, many Christians feel that their faith 鈥 once at the heart of British society 鈥 is being pushed to the margins.

In Are Christians Being Persecuted?, a one-hour special for Holy Week on 大象传媒 One, Nicky Campbell investigates whether Christians are being discriminated against in modern society. He explores the effect of multi-culturalism and asks Town Hall leaders and local councils their rationale for renaming the traditional celebrations, and examines whether members of Britain's ethnic minorities are offended by traditional Christmas Lights celebrations. The programme also analyses the impact of both recent human rights legislation and the forthcoming equality bill, questioning whether they are promoting a more or less tolerant society.

Featured in the documentary are some of the country's leading religious and secular voices, including Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Archbishop of Westminster, Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi, Michael Nazir Ali, the former Bishop of Rochester, Shami Chakrabati, the Director of Liberty, and Polly Toynbee, President of the National Secular Society.

Simon encounters an Indian elephant in Satpura National Park
Simon encounters an Indian elephant in Satpura National Park

Simon Reeve crosses Northern India under the dark storm clouds of the annual monsoon, one of the great climactic events of the Tropics, as he continues his journey circling the world.

From the coast of Gujarat to the teeming metropolis of Kolkata (Calcutta), this journey takes him across areas of India rarely visited by tourists.

In the east he visits the "Little Rann", a unique desert environment and home to the last viable population of the Indian wild ass. These shy, beautiful creatures are impossible to keep in captivity and are under threat from India's vast and ever-expanding human population, another huge issue across much of the Tropics.

Nearby Ahmedebad was the home city of Mahatma Gandhi but, despite his legacy of tolerance, the city has been the scene of vicious clashes between Hindus and Muslims. Simon visits a project that works with traumatised children from both communities.

Passing through the beautiful holy city of Ujjain, the Tropic of Cancer takes Simon to Bhopal, a city notorious as the site of the world's worst industrial accident 25 years ago. Simon is astonished to find the site still contaminated by chemicals and people living nearby complaining of severe health problems.

Just outside Bhopal is the Satpura national park, where Simon investigates the decline of India's tiger population and has a memorable encounter bathing a huge Indian elephant.

Following the line west takes him through the "Red Corridor" 鈥 the scene of a violent Maoist insurgency 鈥 where he joins soldiers on the frontline and visits villages caught in the crossfire.

Finally, arriving in Kolkata, Simon ponders a new car so affordable it is expected to sell millions, adding to the city's unbelievable congestion. He also sucks the eye out of a fish during a traditional Bengali meal.

Wonders Of The Solar System 鈥 Aliens Ep 5/5

Easter Sunday 4 April
9.00-10.00pm 大象传媒 TWO

Professor Brian Cox descends to the bottom of the Pacific in a submarine as his series examining the Wonders Of The Solar System concludes. The deep ocean is one of the most alien places on Earth, yet life thrives here in bizarre oases. In the final episode of the series, Brian casts an eye over the Solar System to see whether there may be other worlds that could harbour life.

Sifting through the dust of the Atacama Desert in Chile, Brian explains how some of the soil in this moonscape is more sterile than a hospital operating theatre. This is because the Atacama is the driest desert in the world. Even the most basic life forms need liquid water so the search for aliens has been led by the search for water in the Solar System.

Soaring above the dramatic Scablands of the United States, Brian discovers how the same extraordinary landscape has been found on Mars 鈥 and created in the same way. A monumental flood left its signature in the rocks of both planets but it was all carved out in a geological heartbeat 鈥 just a few weeks at most 鈥 and the water soon disappeared.

Brian goes in search of signs of calmer conditions on Mars where life could have gained a toe-hold. He finds it in the salt pans of Mexico, where shallow sea water evaporates to form gypsum. Where there is gypsum, there must have been pools of water. And gypsum has been found all over the Red Planet.

Mars was once warmer and wetter but now its surface can no longer support life. It is too dry, too cold and too unprotected from the harsh irradiation of the Sun. But Brian reveals there could still be life on Mars 鈥 if people look in a different place.

Donning a gas mask to protect himself from toxic gas, Brian enters a cave in southern Mexico. In the pitch black he finds a mysterious life form, nicknamed a snottite, which looks as bad as it sounds. It feeds off rock instead of sunlight and pees strong acid. And it is thought that relatives of these creatures could be surviving in newly discovered caves on Mars.

Brian's sixth wonder is a different kind of hidden, dark world. Jupiter's moon, Europa, is a dazzling ball of ice etched with strange cracks and red markings. The patterns in the ice reveal that, far below, there is an ocean with more potentially life-giving water than all the oceans on Earth. Some scientists believe the red streaks could even be the tell-tale sign of bacteria.

But of all the Wonders Of The Solar System forged by the laws of nature, there is one that stands out. In the final episode of this series, Brian reveals the greatest Wonder of them all...

Hey, hey, we're the ... ZingZillas!

Today sees the launch of CBeebies' new music sensation 鈥 ZingZillas. Zak, Tang, Panzee and Drum invite viewers to their island paradise for a daily toe-tapping, finger-clicking musical extravaganza with some of the biggest names in international music. Joining the ZingZillas this week for their Big Zings are didgeridoo player Dhinawan; Jim Hart on the vibraphone; rock band BMQ; piper Martin McKay with his bagpipes; Dame Cleo Laine scatting; and opera star Sarah Connolly with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra.

The fun starts on Monday with a jamboree of musical madness across CBeebies and two special launch episodes: Didgeridoo Hullabaloo and Tang's Happy Day. The ZingZillas rush to the glade to see where the deep rumbling sound is coming from 鈥 it's a didgeridoo, played by Dhinawan. While trying to help the Moaning Stones, Granite and Gravel, celebrate their birthdays, they discover that wrapping paper cardboard tubes make great didgeridoos 鈥 so everyone can join in the Big Zing.

Tang decides to play a really happy song for the next Big Zing, and the sunny, jazzy sound of the vibraphone, played in the glade by Jim Hart, sounds perfect. But though Tang can't wait to play his song to the others, each time he finds someone to play it to they need his help instead. Will he ever get to sing his happy song in the Big Zing?

On Tuesday, youngsters can pull out their air guitars as the ZingZillas get rocking in Rock Guitar with glade guests The BMQ. Zak particularly likes the way they play their guitars and wants to join in, but doesn't have a guitar 鈥 and he can't play one anyway. Todd suggests he joins in by playing ... a broom!

Great British Menu Ep 1/45

New series
Tuesday 6 to Friday 9 April
6.30-7.00pm 大象传媒 TWO (Copy updated 23 March)

Oliver Peyton, Prue Leith and Matthew Fort serve up another helping on Great British Menu
Oliver Peyton, Prue Leith and Matthew Fort serve up another helping on Great British Menu

The best of British food is once again being served up as Great British Menu returns to 大象传媒 Two. In this fifth series, the chefs compete to cook at a fabulous banquet celebrating the wealth of delicious produce grown, reared and fished across the UK. The banquet will be hosted by the nation's long-time advocate of local, seasonal food, HRH The Prince Of Wales, with a guest list made up of some of the best British food producers and suppliers from around the country.

With 24 chefs across eight regions, the competition will be fierce. Week one starts in Scotland and sees Tony Singh (Oloroso), Alan Murchison (Paris House and L'Ortolan) and Michael Smith (The Three Chimneys) compete.

This year's competition is all about super local produce, so to make the challenge even harder the chefs will be out of their comfort zone 鈥 sourcing new food suppliers from a small part of their region. This week, each chef is based at a National Trust for Scotland property, which has a long history of local food production. From here they have to unearth the very finest produce from the surrounding farms, estates and neighbourhoods.

Michael visits the Balmacara estate and takes the inspiration for his dish from the mussels that he finds on the shoreline of the estate. Wild mussels pose a problem as they tend to be quite gritty, so he goes in search of farmed mussels on the Isle of Skye. Meanwhile, Alan hunts for beef and starts north of his property, The House of Dun, at Wynford Farm in Aberdeenshire. He visits George Hogg, who rears organic pure breed Aberdeen Angus cattle on his 100-acre farm, to find out why this beef is so special. And Tony's search for ingredients takes him to meet Mark Armour, head gardener at Kellie Castle walled garden, where they grow 30 different types of rhubarb.

Jeremy Lee is this week's veteran chef and is on hand to offer advice and support. Crucially, this year, the veteran chef also judges the dishes, awarding marks out of 10 for taste and for how well the dish has been executed. The chef with the lowest total score on Thursday is eliminated from the competition and only the two remaining chefs go through to cook for the Great British Menu judges 鈥 Oliver Peyton, Prue Leith and Matthew Fort 鈥 on Friday.

Tony Singh's starter is roast pigeon with hazelnut praline; his fish dish is lobster with vegetables; his main course is hogget Scotch pie with peas and carrots; and his dessert is rhubarb and custard with ginger biscuits.

Alan Murchison's menu is: cock-a-leekie terrine with prune puree; lobster cocktail cooked four ways, served with braised lettuce and confit tomatoes; steak and chips with a tomato relish; carrot cake with cream cheese ice-cream and carrot sorbet.

Michael Smith serves up Scotch pie made with Highland beef, accompanied by winkles; mussels and langoustine with a sorrel soup and tattie scones; Hebridean lamb with haggis, pearl barley and a turnip puree; and strawberry shortbread with whisky cream.

The Delicious Miss Dahl Ep 3/6

Tuesday 6 April
8.30-9.00pm 大象传媒 TWO

Sophie Dahl feels nostalgic for homely British food, as her cookery series continues.

When Sophie has been out of the country for a while, she inevitably ends up feeling homesick with a desire to be back in England and to enjoy the tastes and sensations of home.

This means a supper of roasted tomato and thyme soup with double-baked cheese and chive potatoes, which evokes memories of her teenage years in Camden, north London. Sophie also creates a perfectly British afternoon tea with her twist on a traditional Victoria sponge made with homemade raspberry jam and orange buttercream and bakes golden flapjacks with mango, sour cherries and coconut.

To ground her firmly back in Britain she takes a train journey through the countryside and finds herself on a windy beach recalling chilly childhood holidays. Her trip is topped off with crab, salmon and dill fishcakes with homemade tartare sauce, roasted red potatoes and wilted spinach.

To round off her nostalgic day Sophie makes the king of British desserts, the crumble, made with toffee apples and pears.

Great Ormond Street 鈥 Pushing The Boundaries Ep 1/3

New series
Tuesday 6 April
9.00-10.00pm 大象传媒 TWO (Schedule addition 24 March)

Surgeon Victor Tsang
Surgeon Victor Tsang

Filmed over the course of a year, Great Ormond Street features unprecedented access to doctors from one of the top children's hospitals in the world as they make some of the hardest choices in medicine. When medical technology seems to offer so much, every parent with a sick child will hope that something can be done 鈥 but doctors must decide when enough is enough. For the first time on television, cameras follow Great Ormond Street Hospital's doctors into the meetings where they come face-to-face with the most difficult ethical dilemmas on a daily basis.

Pushing The Boundaries focuses on the work of the largest children's cardiac unit in the UK. Two of its surgeons 鈥 Martin Elliott and Victor Tsang 鈥 perform extremely advanced surgery that isn't carried out anywhere else in the country, and the team's success rate for heart transplant is well above the international average. Consultant cardiologist Philip Rees is the team's longest-serving doctor, and admits that he still finds it difficult not to become too emotionally involved in individual cases.

The film documents the stories of four children as the team attempt to save their lives. The parents of eight-month-old Aicha, given only a few months to live, refuse to accept the team's decision that there's nothing else to be done, forcing the doctors to reconsider their decision. Eight-month-old Natalie's parents are offered surgery that might save their daughter's life, but the procedure is very complex and has never been tried before. Nine-year-old Bryan has already had several life-saving heart operations but now a high-risk heart transplant is all that's left to him; and Blessing's parents must decide whether to agree to a perilous operation on their daughter when she is only two days old.

Through their stories the film explores when it's right to treat a child, and when further intervention is problematic, possibly even unjustifiable. As surgeon Martin Elliott says: "Just because we can, doesn't mean we should."

The Man Who Cycled The Americas 鈥
South America Ep 3/3

Tuesday 6 April
10.35-11.25pm 大象传媒 TWO

Mark Beaumont concludes his epic cycle journey in South America on the last leg of his exhilarating and agonising adventure down the American Cordillera 鈥 the longest series of mountain ranges on the planet which runs from the Alaskan Ranges to the southern tip of the Andes.

Mark, the young Scot who broke the record for pedalling around the world, is self-filming the journey and has successfully made it through North and Central America, climbing to the summit of Mount McKinley 鈥 the highest peak in North America 鈥 along the way.

But in Ecuador, a bout of food poisoning lays him low. It's a serious blow for the cyclist as he needs to meet a deadline for the second mountain climb on his journey, Argentina's Mount Aconcagua. He has a weather window to make the ascent but long delays on the journey south may dash his hopes of getting on the mountain. However, Mark has no option but to take time out. He says: "I've lost so much time in the mountains, but there's no way I can cycle like this."

Taking just one day out, he hauls himself back on the bike and heads to the Peruvian border. Being wind-beaten through the dry lands of eastern Peru is tough, but it is at least some preparation for crossing the most parched place on Earth, Chile's Atacama Desert. It's one of the most testing times of the journey and it takes Mark three weeks to make it through the desert. "I don't think humans are meant to be here. It's a dead part of the world," he comments.

Despite losing two stone, he manages to regain his strength as he leaves the desert behind and sets his sights on the highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. He makes his rendezvous with an experienced team of mountaineers and sets off on the gruelling ascent, the last daunting challenge before he can hit the road again through Patagonia and his final destination. As the end approaches, Mark reflects: "I've had a lifetime of experiences in nine months. It's fairly humbling to see the world at the speed of a bike."

Rachel (Eva Pope) is determined for the school to move on

Rachel is determined to put the chaos caused by Max Tyler's dramatic departure firmly behind them, as the second half of the latest series of the school drama picks up from where it left off at the end of last year. But for Kim it is not so easy to forget as she reveals that she is expecting Max's baby.

It's year eight pupil Bianka Vale's birthday but the only present she wants is to spend time with her dad, Gary, who has separated from her mum. When Gary turns up at school Bianka is delighted to see him and persuades Grantly to allow her to leave with him. What Grantly doesn't realise is that there is a court order out against Gary, banning him from having unsupervised access to his children.

Rachel sees them leaving, and immediately becomes concerned. She follows them to a caravan in an isolated field where she muscles her way in, refusing to leave as Gary becomes increasingly aggressive. She manages to steal Bianka's phone and lets Kim and the police know their location but Gary's murderous intentions come to the fore. Rachel and Bianka find themselves trapped as Gary vents dangerous gas into the caravan. He is determined to make his ex-wife suffer by taking Bianka from her and if that means killing Rachel as well then so be it.

Back in the staff-room, Grantly finds himself on the receiving end of some hot tempers both for letting Gary take Bianca and for writing his "private memoirs", which reveal some personal secrets about the staff. Ruby is at breaking point with her marital and financial problems, and in an act of desperation starts stealing school equipment to sell on internet auction sites.

In the playground new boy Finn Sharkey arrives, bringing with him cheekiness and mayhem. Chris Mead knows Finn from a previous school 鈥 where he had Finn expelled! It's not long before Finn runs riot, disrupting all his classes and influencing Amy, Siobhan and Josh. However, when he returns home to his empty house, it seems Finn may not be the confident, happy-go-lucky boy he makes out.

Rachel Mason is played by Eva Pope, Kim Campbell by Angela Griffin, Bianka Vale by Maisie Jo Stahl, Gary Vale by Dean Andrews, Grantly Budgen by Philip Martin Brown, Ruby Fry by Elizabeth Berrington, Finn Sharkey by Jack McCullen, Chris Mead by Will Ash, Amy Hampton by Ayesha Gwilt, Siobhan Green by Phoebe Dynevor and Josh Stevenson by William Rush.

Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell 鈥 one of the world's brightest astrophysicists
Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell 鈥 one of the world's brightest astrophysicists

Great minds don't always think alike. In fact, off-beat thinking has led to some of the greatest scientific discoveries of our age. In an insightful three-part series 鈥 part of the 大象传媒's year-long celebration of science 鈥 Britain's most influential and respected scientists explain how their unique scientific perspectives have redefined how we think about the world around us.

Professor Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell 鈥 one of the world's brightest astrophysicists, who once played a key role in a discovery that revolutionised her field 鈥 talks about her detection of pulsars in the first episode. Pulsars are a by-product of supernova explosions that make all life in the Universe possible. Jocelyn explains how supernova explosions are the factories that produce all of the building blocks of the Universe, apart from hydrogen and helium, and that the violently spinning neutron stars (pulsars) are testament to the aftermath of these explosions.

But for Jocelyn, it has been a bitter-sweet journey on the road to success. Though her discovery of pulsars warranted a Nobel Prize, controversially it was her male colleague and supervisor that was recognised for the achievement.

The impressive astrophysicist describes the thought processes that led to her discovery and explains how she went from failing her 11-plus to uncovering one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. She also discusses how her life as a Quaker sits alongside her passion for science.

In the first of a captivating series, Beautiful Minds introduces viewers to one of the great unsung heroines of British science.

When DC Chris Skelton opens CID's post and discovers a human hand, DCI Gene Hunt and his team find they have a murder to solve.

The only defining feature on the severed hand is a strange burn mark and DI Alex Drake and the team discover there have been a string of single women murdered across the country, each left with the same crescent-moon shaped burn. It seems all the women had one thing in common; they were members of the Crescent Moon Dating Agency.

As Luigi's fills up, Alex does her best to play the lonely single woman. DI Ray Carling and Chris find themselves an attractive pair of twins to charm, while Gene, on the other hand, is struggling to attract anyone of the opposite sex.

Meanwhile, WPC Shaz Granger, feeling let down by the police force, has handed in her notice.

As Shaz puts herself in the firing line it seems this may be her last sting in more ways than one...
