Rev Ep 6/6

Monday 2 August

10.00-10.30pm ´óÏó´«Ã½ TWO and ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD

Reverend Adam Smallbone (Tom Hollander) has a crisis of faith

After a terrible review of one of his sermons on a Christian website, Adam has a crisis of faith which, to Alex's surprise, seems more serious than his usual biannual episodes of doubt, as the contemporary sitcom concludes.

While he's at home experimenting with leaving the cloth by sitting in his pants watching daytime telly and gambling on the internet, someone else is going around the parish impersonating a vicar to get free beers and avoid parking tickets.

Adam's meltdown comes to a head when he drunkenly comes on to Ellie at a vicars and tarts party in aid of the school library – and Alex finally snaps.

Tom Hollander plays the Rev Adam Smallbone. The cast also includes Colin Salmon as Leon, Olivia Colman as Alex Smallbone, Steve Evets as Colin Lambert, Miles Jupp as Nigel McCall, Lucy Liemann as Ellie Pattman, Simon Mcburney as Archdeacon Robert and Ellen Thomas as Adoha Onyeka.

Rev is simulcast on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD channel – the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.

Sarah-Jane goes 10-pin bowling

CBeebies favourite Sarah-Jane Honeywell continues in her mission to encourage youngsters to get off the sofa and get active this summer in high-energy series Mighty-Mites.

Encouraging children to get out and try something new – from go-karting to kite-flying and pond-dipping to pottery painting – in each episode, Sarah-Jane (Tikkabilla, Higgledy House) and excitable and inquisitive puppet Go-Joe take two children – the Mighty-Mites – on a journey to try an activity for the very first time.

This week's exciting activities include ballroom dancing, skiing, 10-pin bowling and go-karting.

On Monday, younger viewers can join in with all the steps and dance the Cha Cha Cha as Sarah-Jane takes Go-Joe and two young friends to a dance class. Together, today's Mighty-Mites, Casey and Daniel, go ballroom dancing where they learn the basic steps to a Cha Cha Cha rhythm before dressing up in costumes to perform together with the whole class.

Then it's time to head to the slopes with Tuesday's Mighty-Mites, Kai and Keileigh. Sarah-Jane takes everyone for a skiing lesson at an indoor ski slope and, at first, it's very cold and slippery. But, once they've all got their special ski clothes and boots on, they quickly start to learn the basics and have lots of fun.

Charley and Jodie are Thursday's Mighty-Mites, joining Sarah-Jane and Go-Joe to try their hands at 10-pin bowling at a bowling alley. Together, they learn about special bowling shoes, how to hold the ball and how to bowl it properly. But who will knock down the most pins?

The week comes to a close at the race track as Sarah-Jane, Go-Joe and the Mighty-Mites try out go-karting. At the track, Arther and Jessica put on special race suits and learn how to steer and use the foot pedal. They even get to ride on the big track with the instructor...

Big City Park Eps 1-5/26

Monday 2 to Friday 6 August

9.00-9.15am CBEEBIES
1.00-1.15pm CBEEBIES

CBeebies viewers are invited to pull on their wellies, step outside and discover a green oasis in the heart of the city, in Big City Park, a new puppet and live action series for CBeebies which encourages children to discover the beauty of the great outdoors.

Filmed on location in Belfast's beautiful and bustling Ormeau Park, Big City Park is about the adventure of finding nature's hidden treasures. A celebration of the outdoors, the series captures the park through the changing seasons, be it rain, wind or shine – proving that there is "no bad weather, simply inappropriate clothing".

Sarah McCardie plays May the friendly park keeper, whose job is to look after everything in the park.

In each episode, May, along with Ruairi the mischievous and mostly helpful caretaker, Dara the streetwise city fox and Billy the excitable badger welcome a group of enthusiastic young explorers to the park for a day of treasure-hunting, game-playing and story-telling. Together, they let their imaginations run wild as they explore their surroundings, gathering the park's natural bounty for Ruairi's treasure chest.

"We may have an unpredictable climate but we want to encourage children to get out and about whatever the weather," says Controller of CBeebies, Kay Benbow. "Big City Park introduces children to the beauty of the great outdoors and proves that there are hidden treasures on everybody's doorsteps."

On Monday it's May the park keeper's first day in her new job. With the help of three young city children, Billy the badger and Dara the fox show May around her new workplace. Finding out about the birds of the park, the friends make a model bird of their own – Patrick pigeon – and place him in Ruairi's special treasure chest to remind them of all the feathery fun they've had.

On Tuesday, May and her team of young explorers listen to all the birds and animals who sing in the park. Dara is upset because she doesn't think she can sing, until her friends convince her that it doesn't matter how well you sing but how much fun you have doing it.

Ruairi and Billy are feeling the heat in Wednesday's episode of Big City Park, while May and the children prepare for a sunny day in the park – making sure they have lots of sun cream on, of course.

In Thursday's show, Ruairi shares tales about his time as a sea captain with his friends so they decide to go on a voyage of discovery of their own. Equipped with binoculars and magnifying glasses, they sail off around the park and discover a host of new things along the way.

In the final episode of the week, on Friday, May and the team have a woodland workout, discovering all the lovely, healthy activities and exercises that can be done in open spaces.
