Suspense for one contestant trying to avoid a quick exit

Steve Jones and co-host Nemone return as eight more contestants try to avoid exiting the biggest, most terrifying multiple-choice quiz in the world.

Seven hopefuls are literally fired off the gigantic steel tower with nothing; the last person standing wins the ultimate prize, to leave via the stairs holding 拢10,000.

This week's contestants include a firefighter, a police sergeant and a relationship counsellor; all trying to avoid exiting the show in ever-more ridiculous and horrific ways.

This week firefighter Adam needs all his courage when he is sitting in a chair, 100ft in the air for Exit 42: Glued To Your Seat.

Swansea student Ben realises that you shouldn't always take your friends' advice as he takes on Exit 33 鈥� the losing contestant is dragged 80ft off the tower by a cartoon-style "Evil Anvil".

With the field narrowed to four hopefuls the nightmare steps up a gear with Exit 90: The Drag. Four metal cages are connected to a racing car, and the contestant with the wrong answer is launched at high speed down a race track and off the show forever.

Night falls and the last three players return to the tower for the final. Two losers face a watery demise in Exit 101 as the trapdoors open and their hopes of victory slip away. The winner stays dry, safe and 拢10,000 richer.

Adam takes a big step towards recovering from Harry's death after a tense run-in with psychopathic prisoner Jackson, Kirsty and Tess come to verbal blows over the best way to treat a patient, and Casualty favourite Megan (Academy Award-winner Brenda Fricker) reveals the reason behind her return to Holby, as the medical drama continues.

Adam's having a bad day. Heart heavy with guilt over losing Harry, the last thing he needs is convict Jackson returning to taunt him. It appears that Jackson has become obsessed with Adam since he treated him the last time and has read all the press cuttings about Harry's accident. When Jackson escapes from the Emergency Department with Adam's car keys the doctor is implicated in his escape. Can Adam track down the highly dangerous prisoner and how does Jackson hold the key to Adam's recovery?

Former Holby nurse Megan has been released from the ED, but her health is clearly troubling her. She returns briefly after helping a collapsing passer-by, only to be confronted by Tess. Concerned for Charlie, Tess urges Megan to contact him, but Megan stubbornly refuses. When Tess finds a worrying note, she tries again to connect with Megan, only to be brutally rebuffed. How long can Megan face her illness alone? Will she be persuaded to confide in her old friend?

When Kirsty jumps to conclusions after seeing some bruising on a patient, Tess lectures her about becoming too involved. Ignoring Tess's warning, Kirsty rashly accuses the patient's girlfriend of abuse but can only watch helplessly as they walk away. Furious, Tess lectures the younger nurse and a livid Kirsty threatens to make a formal complaint as she storms out of the hospital. But it looks like Kirsty might need Tess after all when she returns to the hospital with a head injury...

Adam is played by Tristan Gemmill, Jackson by Maurice Ro毛ves, Kirsty by Lucy Gaskell, Tess by Suzanne Packer and Megan by Brenda Fricker.

Katie Derham presents coverage of the 大象传媒 Proms 2010 as Vasily Petrenko takes to the podium to conduct the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra in music by Schumann and Tchaikovsky, inspired by Byron's poem Manfred, and Rachmaninov's 2nd Piano Concerto with soloist Simon Trp膷eski.

Inspired by Lord Byron's dramatic poem, Schumann provided incidental music which captures the story's ghostly, brooding atmosphere, while Tchaikovsky wrote a symphony in the style of tone poem, one of his most highly charged and theatrical orchestral works. Guilt, death, religion and temptation are the Byronic themes depicted by both composers in their works, which arguably gave the moody protagonist much more fame than the original poem would have done alone.

The RLPO is joined by Macedonian pianist and former Radio 3 New Generation Artist Simon Trp膷eski to perform the ever-popular Piano Concerto No. 2 by Rachmaninov. At the helm is Liverpool's own adopted hero Vasily Petrenko.
