Blue Peter, presented by Joel Defries, Helen Skelton and Andy Akinwolere, moves to Mondays

Blue Peter moves to a new day and now starts the week on a Monday. Kicking off the first episode in the new slot, Steve Backshall joins the team in the studio to discuss his new series, Live 'n' Deadly, and shows off some of the UK's deadliest animals in the studio.

The programme revs into gear to catch up with more of the team's Italian antics as they visit the Vespa factory near Pisa in Tuscany to build a completely unique one-off Blue Peter scooter. Plus Joel Defries gets a UK exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the new Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Paris.

Viewers will get a "pizza Italian action" in Tuesday's show when it follows the team on their trip to Naples to make the ultimate pizza and deliver it on a zipwire for "Blue Pizza".

To mark Rosh Hashanah, Chief Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks interviews four distinguished and engaging atheists in The Case For God?.

By having his own faith challenged by some of today's finest atheist minds, Lord Sacks attempts to get closer to what faith means. He interviews writer Howard Jacobson, who feels that religion is too bogged down by rules and regulations, while philosopher Alain de Botton does not believe any one religion can be the "true faith". Scientist Colin Blakemore insists that science makes religion redundant, and professor Lisa Jardine maintains that human suffering undermines faith in God.

Will the Chief Rabbi find areas of common ground with these atheists and their issues with faith, and will it make him rethink his own beliefs?
