New Tricks – Dead Man Talking Ep 1/10

Friday 10 September

9.00-10.00pm ´óÏó´«Ã½ ONE (Schedule addition 25 August)

Amanda Redman, Alun Armstrong, James Bolam and Dennis Waterman return in New Tricks, the drama following a team of ex-policeman brought out of retirement to investigate unsolved cases from the past.

When psychic Sebastian Carter reveals to his client, Vicky Anderson, that there is some unfinished business surrounding her father's death, the Unsolved Crime And Open Case Squad (UCOS) reluctantly reopens the investigation.

Douglas Anderson, a wealthy financier based in Hong Kong before retiring back in the UK, died of a heart attack after disturbing an intruder and an ensuing struggle at his home two years ago. On the surface, Anderson appears to have been a well-respected and honourable man who even took in his friend, John Plummer's, daughter Penny when Plummer was imprisoned for a multi-million-pound fraud in Hong Kong.

Deeply sceptical of Carter's "gift", Pullman attends a consultation with Vicky. Far from walking away believing Carter is a con man, Pullman is spooked when he challenges her about a conflict in her own personal life involving her newly discovered brother, Tom. The boys are less convinced by Carter's credentials and are keen to prove that his knowledge of unreleased details surrounding Anderson's death is less to do with his ability to connect with the spirit world and more likely down to cold guess-work.

With doubt being cast over the conclusion of the original investigation that the burglary at Anderson's home was random, the team digs deeper into his business affairs. They discover he and his family left Hong Kong under a cloud with unproven allegations linking him to the fraud for which Plummer was incarcerated. The millions were never recovered and, when Plummer died in prison, Anderson became Penny's legal guardian. With a second burglary attempt on the Anderson house, the team think they've found a motive but they're still missing a suspect and, indeed, the money. Could Plummer have confided in his estranged daughter, Penny, or his cellmate, Simon Beswick, before his death?

Amanda Redman is Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman, Alun Armstrong is Brian Lane, James Bolam is Jack Halford, Dennis Waterman is Gerry Standing, Paul Rhys is Sebastian Carter, Alice Patten is Vicky Anderson, Elizabeth Tan is Penny Anderson and David Bradley is Simon Beswick.

Dr Alice Roberts examines some bones from the Mary Rose

Dr Alice Roberts follows the remarkable historical excavations that reveal the Tudor history of Britain and is on the trail of the UK's most famous, and enigmatic, playwright – Shakespeare – as the series concludes.

In Shoreditch, London, Alice explores the remains of the first theatre that Shakespeare would have acted in, and the first theatre to stage a performance of Romeo And Juliet. But, after a dispute with the landlord who owned the land the theatre was built on, Shakespeare and his pals dismantled the timber structure and headed across the river to Bankside, where they relocated the theatre – which then became known as The Globe. The Museum of London Archaeology Service has just a short window of time to excavate the site before the developers move in.

Alice also travels to Stratford-upon-Avon, where a team from Birmingham University is digging the site of Shakespeare's last home, New Place, in the hope of finding new evidence of the Bard's life by sifting through his rubbish.

Also in the programme, Alice visits the Mary Rose to find out how research is progressing on Britain's largest and most famous Tudor shipwreck. Alice examines the bones of the men who drowned in the wreck and brings a fresh diagnosis to one of the archers who perished. Alice also travels to Strata Florida in Wales to follow this year's excavation at the huge vanished monastery which unlocks the story of the Dissolution, the power struggle between Henry VIII and the Catholic Church which reshaped our land.

Digging For Britain 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.

Friday 10 September

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

• Feature

Val is curious to find out how Roger's work tribunal has gone but, following recent events, relations between the two of them are less then easy, as the bittersweet comedy starring Dawn French and Alfred Molina concludes.

Val unwittingly reveals that she's off to a work event which a former colleague is due to be attending – enough to set Roger off, despite her not having seen this colleague since he left for a sojourn in New Zealand. So, in true Roger fashion, he reviews all things NZ and finds them wanting ... dating back to Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing. But more to the point, will Roger and Val be able to surmount their own particular Everest?

Roger And Val Have Just Got In 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.

As part of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two's Schools Season this autumn, ´óÏó´«Ã½ Films showcases Alan Bennett's critically acclaimed The History Boys starring Dominic Cooper, James Corden and Richard Griffiths, and Richard Eyre's Notes On A Scandal starring Cate Blanchett and Dame Judi Dench.

The History Boys, starring Dominic Cooper, James Corden and Richard Griffiths, tells the story of a group of bright, funny history students in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English teacher (Richard Griffiths), a young and shrewd professor hired to up their test scores (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grossly outnumbered history teacher (Frances De La Tour), and a headmaster obsessed with results (Clive Merrison), the boys attempt to sift through it all to pass the daunting university admissions process. Directed by Nicholas Hytner, their journey becomes as much about how education works, as it is about where education leads.

Based on Zoë Heller's award-winning novel, Notes On A Scandal (to be shown later in the month), is a story of loneliness, loyalty, envy and love. When Sheba Hart (Cate Blanchett) joins St George's as the new art teacher, Barbara Covett (Dame Judi Dench) senses a kindred spirit. But Barbara is not the only one drawn to her. Sheba begins an illicit affair and Barbara becomes the keeper of her secret.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Two's Schools Season brings together a major season on education, focusing on our schools, the tough choices parents have to make and how we could all do better. Other programmes include a range of documentaries, a drama and further support online.

´óÏó´«Ã½ Films co-produces around eight films a year, working in partnership with major international and UK distributors. Earlier this year, as part of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Strategy Review, it was announced that ´óÏó´«Ã½ Two would become the principal home for ´óÏó´«Ã½ Films. This is part of a drive to bring more quality drama to the channel.
