Jill Douglas presents highlights of today's road cycling world championships from Melbourne, Australia.
The women's road race course is a gruelling 127.2km long and provides a real test of the cyclists' abilities as they power round the streets of Geelong. Great Britain's team is spearheaded by Olympic champion Nicole Cooke and an in-form Emma Pooley. They are ably assisted by three more riders out of a squad of Lizzie Armitstead, Katie Colclough, Sharon Laws, Lucy Martin and Catherine Williamson. Last year's event, in Switzerland, was won by Italy's Tatiana Guderzo.
Commentary comes from Hugh Porter and Chris Boardman.

Merlin and Arthur find themselves vastly outnumbered in a tavern brawl, but an enigmatic young man helps them to victory, as the fantasy drama continues.
The stranger, Gwaine, risks his life to protect the Prince and is seriously wounded in the process. Arthur takes him back to Camelot where he quickly makes a recovery and gets to work: drinking, charming the ladies and causing trouble for Merlin – who has been charged with looking after him.
But when what appears to be two unscrupulous knights try to kill the Prince, can Merlin and the inscrutable stranger stop them before it is too late?
Merlin is played by Colin Morgan, Arthur by Bradley James and Gwaine by Eoin Macken.

Strictly Come Dancing
While seven of the couples can breathe a sigh of relief, for seven more, their nerves will be tested as they take to the floor and face the panel of judges for the first time, in the first live Saturday show of the celebrity dance competition.
Viewers can discover who presenter Bruce Forsyth picks as his favourite and whether tonight is the first time head judge Len Goodman awards one of his "sevens". As the first leader board is completed, who's hot to trot – and who needs to trot a little faster – will be revealed.
Also on tonight’s show pop superstars Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow take to the floor to perform their new duet, Shame.
Strictly Come Dancing 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.

It's all hands on deck when the Emergency Department faces its cleanliness inspection and the team's first battle in their campaign to impress the powers that be, as the medical drama continues. Unfortunately for Lenny he has his mind on other things – namely the gorgeous Chrissie – so he's late for work and neglecting his duties, incurring Jordan's wrath.
In preparation for the cleanliness inspection, Tess assigns the whole team cleaning duties. Everyone is even more nervous when they hear the inspector is the terrifying "Big Don". Lenny is late for work again after spending the night with Chrissie, so Jordan puts him in charge of cleaning resus. However, Lenny is distracted when Chrissie visits him at work. Not only does he forget to clean up resus, but he also loses Lorretta, an elderly Alzheimer's patient. Her husband Roy and daughter Helen are distraught. On top of that Lenny might have just lost them the bacteriology award...
Meanwhile, Adam and Kirsty come to blows when they disagree on how to handle an unco-operative patient who believes he's dead. Kirsty thinks that by playing up to his delusions is the answer, so she enlists Yuki and Mads to help out. Crucially, while treating him, Yuki discovers that Adam's diagnosis was wrong; has his insight saved the day?
For a moment, things seem to be on the up, until Holby receives more negative press regarding the day's events. Henry is furious – they must have a mole leaking information. Lenny is disturbed when he recognises the reporter's name.
Lenny is played by Steven Miller, Chrissie by Rebecca Calder, Jordan by Michael French, Tess by Suzanne Packer, "Big Don" by Serena Evans, Roy by David Calder, Helen by Helen Schlesinger, Adam by Tristan Gemmill, Kirsty by Lucy Gaskell, Yuki by Will Sharpe, Mads by Hasina Haque and Henry by Tom Chadbon.

Gary Lineker presents highlights from today's Premier League matches, including the clash between Sunderland and Manchester United.
The Red Devils are desperate to get their hands on the Premier League trophy they surrendered to Chelsea last year, but the Stadium of Light is always a difficult place to go to and Black Cats manager Steve Bruce invested heavily in his squad again this summer. Bruce was a legend during his playing days at Old Trafford, yet since becoming a manager he has failed to get one over on his former boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 15 attempts.
West Ham faced their second successive London derby as they entertained Fulham at Upton Park, while there was an intriguing match-up across the capital at White Hart Lane as Tottenham took on Aston Villa. Everton had a difficult game away at Birmingham, as did Blackburn Rovers, who travelled to Stoke. Elsewhere, Wigan played Wolves and West Brom met Bolton.

´óÏó´«Ã½ TWO Saturday 2 October 2010
Naomi Wilkinson and Steve Backshall limber up for an action-packed show this week as the Live 'n' Deadly trucks roll into the North West. Sebastien Foucan shows off his expert free-running skills and the programme also follows a group of parkour fanatics who demonstrate their agility in the woods.

The RIBA Stirling Prize 2010 – A Culture Show Special
This Culture Show special comes live from the Roundhouse in London where Kevin McCloud fronts the biggest event in the architectural calendar – the announcement of the Royal Institute of British Architects' Stirling Prize.
Now in its 15th year, the RIBA Stirling Prize is the UK's most prestigious architecture prize and is awarded to the best new European building "built or designed in Britain". This year's shortlisted buildings are: Bateman's Row, a mixed-use development in East London by architects Theis and Khan; two schools: Christ's College School, Guildford, designed by DSDHA, and Clapham Manor School, by dRMM; and three museums: the Ashmolean in Oxford by Rick Mather Architects, Maxxi National Museum of XXI Century Arts in Rome by Zaha Hadid and the Neues Museum in Berlin by David Chipperfield Architects with Julian Harrap Architects.
Architectural critic Tom Dyckhoff presents brief films about each of the shortlisted buildings; puts their different styles into context by explaining how each building relates to the principles of modernism; and looks back at the history of the Stirling Prize. During the live event, Kevin McCloud talks to the Stirling Prize judges about their thoughts on all six of the shortlisted buildings, and Ruth Reed, RIBA president, announces the winner of this year's Stirling Prize.

Hazel Irvine presents highlights of day two of the 38th Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor.
The USA and Europe went into the second day facing another tense order of play of Foursomes in the morning and Fourballs in the afternoon. Europe have traditionally found some strong pairings in these formats and team captain Colin Montgomerie will be desperate for a good showing ahead of Sunday's decisive singles.
In Valhalla two years ago, Europe managed to pick up four-and-a-half points on Saturday but it proved to be in vain as the Americans went on to cruise to a resounding victory.
Commentary comes from Peter Alliss, Ken Brown and Sam Torrance.

Commonwealth Games 2010 – Opening Ceremony
Sue Barker introduces live coverage of the Opening Ceremony from Delhi's 60,000-seater Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as the 19th Commonwealth Games gets under way in spectacular style. Athletes from 71 nations across the globe will be taking part in these Games over the next 11 days and, with India playing host for the first time, it promises to be a spectacular and colourful curtain-raiser to the competition proper.
One of the great traditions of the Commonwealth Games is the Queen's Baton Relay, which began almost a year ago at Buckingham Palace and will have covered almost 120,000 miles and passed through many thousands of hands by the time its journey ends during the course of tonight's ceremony.
The commentators are Huw Edwards, Steve Cram and Tinku Ray.

MotoGP – Motegi Grand Prix
Jennie Gow introduces round 14 of the MotoGP season, live from Motegi in Japan.
This race was originally scheduled for April, but because the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcanic eruption stopped international air travel, the race was postponed.
With only four rounds to go after this race, Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo will be hoping to gain as many points as he can. He triumphed at the circuit last year and another victory this time round will see him edge closer to a maiden world title.
Steve Parrish and Charlie Cox provide the commentary.

The year is 1966 and the football World Cup has come to England, in the second episode of the crime drama starring Martin Shaw as old-school detective Inspector George Gently, written by Jimmy Gardner.
With the USSR due to play at Roker Park and the fear of the "Reds under the bed" exemplified by the upcoming Polaris submarine landing at the nearby Jarrow docks, tensions are running high.
CND protestors, led by radical students from Durham University, are the last thing the police need when the world media is on their doorstep awaiting the upcoming football match.
Gently and Bacchus investigate the murder of well-known left-wing academic Fraser Barratt, found dead in the docks after a CND rally which he had led with his colleague, lecturer Mallory Brown.
This takes them onto the Durham University campus – an ancient temple of learning struggling to come to terms with the varied influx of students from the working class to brash, radical academics. Here they meet university caretaker and ex-army officer Charles Hoxton as well as sexually forward-thinking students Elizabeth Higgs and Adriana Doyle.
Sexual and social rebellion is in the air and, to the young and optimistic, these forces seem inevitable and unstoppable. Bacchus is horrified yet fascinated by the promiscuity on display. Gently more shrewdly recognises that liberation is not always an unmixed blessing...
Martin Shaw plays George Gently, Lee Ingleby plays John Bacchus, Emun Elliott plays Fraser Barratt, Sarah Lancashire plays Mallory Brown, Warren Clarke plays Charles Hoxton, Kerrie Hayes plays Elizabeth Higgs and Myanna Buring plays Adriana Doyle.
Inspector George Gently 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.

´óÏó´«Ã½ TWO Sunday 3 October 2010
Jill Douglas presents highlights of today's road cycling World Championships from Australia.
The men's road race saw the field compete over a 262.7km course from Melbourne to Geelong. Great Britain's team is only three strong, so David Millar and Jeremy Hunt will have their work cut out to assist Mark Cavendish in his bid for glory.
The 15-times Tour de France stage winner is aiming to become only the second Briton, after Tommy Simpson in 1965, to win this event. He faces stiff competition from last year's winner, Cadel Evans, and the Australian will be cheered on by a partisan home crowd.
Hugh Porter and Chris Boardman provide the commentary.

Tanya Arnold presents highlights of the Super League Grand Final.
A full house is expected at Old Trafford to see who will lift the trophy after another gruelling league season. Leeds Rhinos' unprecedented run of success has seen them emerge victorious in the last three years, beating St Helens on each occasion.
Last year's final was a thrilling affair, with Lee Smith's two tries proving to be just enough to see off the unlucky Saints. Wigan won the League Leaders' Shield for finishing top of the league in the regular season but, as St Helens know more than anyone, that's no guarantee of success when it comes to Grand Final glory.
SB4
Hazel Irvine presents highlights of the conclusion of the 38th Ryder Cup from the Celtic Manor course in south Wales.
A tense day was in store as Europe's captain Colin Montgomerie sent all 12 of his players out to go head-to-head with their American counterparts.
The USA crushed Europe in Valhalla two years ago, winning seven singles matches to secure a 16½ to 11½ victory. But the Europeans have not lost on home soil since 1993 and boast a side bang in form.
The likes of Miguel Angel Jimenez, Ross Fisher, Peter Hanson, Martin Kaymer and Edoardo Molinari have all won events since the start of August and are favourites to win back the trophy.
Peter Alliss, Ken Brown and Sam Torrance provide the commentary.

Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's three Premier League games.
The early kick-off saw big-spending Manchester City host newly-promoted Newcastle United. The last time the two sides clashed in the Premier League saw City win 2-1 at home in 2008, but much has changed for both clubs since then.
The millions pumped into City have given them a squad to compare with any team in the Premier League. They will be confident of earning three points against a Newcastle side still settling back in the big time after a year in the Championship.
Another newly promoted club, Blackpool, will be licking their lips in anticipation of getting the chance to play against Liverpool at Anfield. They haven't played in front of the Kop since January 1971, when they managed a creditable 2-2 draw. Liverpool struggled against the so called "lesser teams" last season and will be keen to rectify that as they look to get back into the Champions League.
The day's third game is a mouth-watering clash between champions Chelsea and their London rivals Arsenal. The Blues crushed the Gunners in both fixtures between the sides last season and won 2-0 at Stamford Bridge in February. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger must work out a way of dealing with Didier Drogba after the Chelsea striker scored four goals against his team last term.

Commonwealth Games 2010
Clare Balding, along with expert summarisers Ian Thorpe and Mark Foster, presents live coverage from the first day of action from the SPM Swimming Complex in Delhi, where five gold medals are up for grabs. The action includes:
11.30am Women's 200m Freestyle
11.59am Men's 400m Freestyle
12.06pm Women's 200m Individual Medley
12.12pm Men's 200m Butterfly
12.40pm Men's 4x100m Freestyle
Scotland's David Carry is the defending champion in the Men's 400m Freestyle but Welsh star David Davies will fancy his chances of improving on his bronze of four years ago.
Scotland's Hannah Miley goes in the Women's 200m Individual Medley and her chances have been boosted by the absence of Australian Olympic champion Stephanie Rice, who is injured and so unable to defend her Commonwealth title. But Australia are traditionally strong in this event – they swept gold, silver and bronze in Melbourne – and they could have a ready-made replacement in teenage swimming sensation Emily Seebohm.
Commentary comes from Andy Jameson, Adrian Moorhouse and Sharron Davies.

Commonwealth Games 2010
John Inverdale introduces the latest action from Delhi, including India versus Scotland in the women's hockey.
Hosts India await Scotland in their opening match in Pool A – a real test for the Scots in front of thousands of fanatical Indian supporters. Scotland's women came a creditable fifth at the 2006 Commonwealth Games but they could not have asked for a much tougher start, facing a side 10 places above them in the world rankings.
England's netballers begin their Commonwealth campaign against Barbados. England won bronze in Melbourne four years ago and a good start in Delhi will give them valuable momentum in their quest to challenge Australia and New Zealand, the two big guns of the sport.
There's also gymnastics action from the Men's Artistic Team Final. The home nations go for gold with four gymnasts competing for each country. England, Scotland and Wales have all won gymnastics medals at the Commonwealth Games and have more medal chances here at the Indira Ghandi Sport Complex in Delhi, but Canada and Australia pose the strongest threats.
John also has the latest news in the badminton, tennis and weightlifting competitions.

While trying to locate Aibek they are led to Kirkby's office, but it's too late; they find Kirby alone and beaten.
Lucas, Beth and Viktor follow Aibek's trail through London, desperate to get to him before he finds the Paroxocybin. Meanwhile, Viktor's behaviour exposes him as untrustworthy and it's soon clear that he has his own plans for the nerve gas.

The Octonauts Ep 1/26
CBeebies invites children to take the plunge and go on an exciting voyage of discovery through the world's oceans this autumn with the animated adventurers The Octonauts. Splashing onto CBeebies from Monday 4 October, The Octonauts are a new band of heroes who patrol the oceans and have thrilling adventures underwater.
Reporting for deep-sea duty are a tip-top team including the dashing Captain Barnacles Bear; swash-buckling Lieutenant Kwazii Cat; and their fresh-faced Medic Peso Penguin.
Stationed in their impressive home base, The Octopod, The Octonauts are ready to dive into action whenever there is trouble underwater. Using their fleet of aquatic vehicles they rescue sea creatures, explore new underwater worlds and triumphantly save the oceans from danger – all in a day's rather wet work.
"We are delighted to welcome this team of highly trained and courageous heroes to CBeebies," says the channel's controller Kay Benbow. "They are perfectly equipped to take our viewers on a series of thrilling and colourful deep sea adventures – without them even getting wet!"
Captain Barnacles is the heroic leader and strategic thinker of the Octonauts. An expert in piloting ships and subs, he's a bear of action, never fearing to rush in where there's trouble. He's ably assisted by Lieutenant Kwazii – a daredevil pirate cat with a mysterious past – and Medic Peso Penguin, a brave bird with a big heart and extremely fast flippers.
Together with Engineer Tweak Bunny, researcher Dr Shellington Sea Otter, photographer Dashi Dog, Professor Inkling Octopus and an adorable bunch of half-animal, half-vegetable creatures called The Vegimals, this team of aquatic aces keep trouble at bay as they scour the seven seas.
But they couldn't do it without the help of their extraordinary range of striking submersibles. From the technological comfort of the vast mission-planning base, The Octopod, to the speed of the fish first-aid ambulance, Gup-E, the Octonauts are never without a suitable vehicle for a mission. Be it helping out an albino humpback whale with sunburn, exploring a sinister kelp forest, or discovering a new breed of worm in the Midnight Zone, The Octonauts are ideally equipped for every sort of marine emergency.
The Octonauts is based on the richly imaginative books by design team, Meomi. Produced in HD it combines classic team adventure with dazzling CGI animation to transport children to a world they don't normally visit... deep under the ocean.
The Octonauts is filmed in HD and will be shown on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ HD channel – the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108 – on the Saturday and Sunday following the weekday transmissions, from 2pm.

Linden is concerned for Faye when she is rushed into AAU with abdominal pain, as the medical drama continues.
Joseph's arrival upsets Faye, causing an argument between Linden and Joseph. The obstetrician diagnoses a urinary tract infection, but Linden is suspicious and confronts Faye – why didn't she mention her discomfort earlier? Linden soon feels ashamed for doubting Faye and asks for her forgiveness – but Faye later discards her prescription.
Worried that he's damaged his career prospects, Oliver desperately tries to regain Joseph and Greg's respect. However, Oliver finds he can't cope, until Frieda comes to his rescue.
Meanwhile, Sacha realises he's upset Jac after making her feel like a laughing stock a couple of weeks ago. He teams up with Donna to prove he's sorry. This backfires and Jac tells him she doesn't want to be part of the "gang". Sacha decides the real way to show he's truly sorry is to take Jac to dinner.
Linden Cullen is played by Duncan Pow, Faye Byrne by Patsy Kensit, Joseph Byrne by Luke Roberts, Oliver Valentine by James Anderson, Greg Douglas by Edward MacLiam, Frieda by Olga Fedori, Sacha Levy by Bob Barrett, Jac Naylor by Rosie Marcel and Donna Jackson by Jaye Jacobs.

Frank Gardner meets three more of the 15 finalists hoping to win the chance to see their true-life story become a published book and free download on the ´óÏó´«Ã½ website, in the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s My Story competition.
Tonight's programme, the last in the series, includes three very powerful personal testimonies of survival.

Eighty-six-year-old Iby Knill tells how she survived the horrors of the Nazi concentration camps and why she kept her past a secret from her family for over 40 years.
Finally, Frank meets Alex Ntung, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, who was forced to work as a child spy and went on to set up an organization campaigning against the use of child soldiers.
The winning story, selected by a panel of judges, is revealed at the end of the programme.

Harry's bulimia reaches crisis point under the stress of bullying and his parent's separation, as the drama set in a Rochdale comprehensive continues, while the tension increases between Ruby and a heavily pregnant Janeece.
Elsewhere, Waterloo Road stages the Interschool Debating Contest, giving Ruth a rare taste of popularity.
When Finn discovers that Harry has sabotaged his plans for Jess to sleep over, he exacts revenge with a day of relentless bullying and chances upon Harry being sick in the toilet. Events reach a climax when Harry sinks to the bottom of the pool during a swimming lesson, a cry for help that leads both him and Finn to Karen's office. When Harry is finally forced to reveal his condition, Karen is left questioning her role as a mother.
Meanwhile, Ruby is fed up with acting like Janeece's slave and makes a stand; however all is forgotten when Ruby finds Janeece going into labour at school.

Michael Wood's Story Of England – The Great Famine And The Black Death Ep 3/6
Historian Michael Wood continues his fascinating tale of one place through the whole of English history, reaching the catastrophic 14th century when the village of Kibworth, Leicestershire, was twice visited by disaster, first by famine and then the Black Death.
Helped by today's villagers – field walking and reading historical texts – and by local schoolchildren digging archaeological test pits, Michael follows the stories of individuals who lived through these times.
Recounting the terrible hardship caused by the disastrous harvests of the little ice age, Michael learns of the resilience of the Kibworth peasant folk as they relied on their knowledge of the land to feed themselves during the worst famine in European history.
But, as the village recovered into the mid 14th-century, disaster struck again in the form of the Black Death. Visiting the astonishing village archive at Merton College, Oxford, Michael discovers how whole generations were wiped out, including two thirds of the village population of Harcourt – the highest losses caused by the plague known in Britain.
From these catastrophic events came mass revolt, bringing an end to the feudal age and a change between rulers and the ruled. The people of Kibworth were on the way to becoming modern people.
Michael Wood's Story Of England is repeated tomorrow night, Thursday, October 7, a broadcast that 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.

Stacey Dooley, one of the stars of the hit ´óÏó´«Ã½ Three series, Blood, Sweat And T-Shirts and her spin-off show Stacey Dooley Investigates, returns with a new moving and insightful documentary exploring the issue of child exploitation: child soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
An estimated 30,000 children have been used as soldiers during the 14-year conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo and no one knows how many thousands are still in the forests, enslaved by armed militias. With the help of local charity workers, Stacey meets children who have been soldiers and hears their personal accounts of what life as a child soldier entailed. She visits a rescue centre where boys and girls arrive daily, rescued from guerrilla militia units as well as the Congolese National Army.
Stacey meets other boy soldiers and hears their terrifying experiences first hand. Accompanying a local charity she goes to a frontline Congolese National Army camp where she witnesses the rescue of two boys. With the charity, she takes one boy home and he's reunited with his family, from whom he was stolen more than eight years ago.
Through Stacey's journey, viewers witness the terrifying complexities of war where young kids have been separated physically and emotionally from their law-abiding families.

The team reinvestigate the death of celebrated graffiti artist Danny "Flak" Tyler when graffiti claiming "I Killed Flak" starts appearing in different London locations – including where Danny's body was found four years ago, as the drama following a team of ex-policeman brought out of retirement to investigate unsolved cases from the past continues.
Originally part of graffiti gang the Maze Crew, Danny went solo, hitting the big time when wealthy art patron Sir David Bryant decided to support his work. Danny's departure from the Maze Crew and his subsequent success caused tensions within the gang which led to them disbanding shortly after he left. But could one of the gang have held a big enough grudge to have killed him?
Pullman and Halford visit Sara Hamlyn's gallery where she is holding a retrospective exhibition of Danny's work. His death has sent prices for his canvases rocketing with individual pieces fetching more than £200,000. Sir David Bryant appears to have been his greatest investor, but recent financial problems have forced him to sell all but two of Danny's works. Every picture tells a story and it is Danny's elusive final painting which could provide the team with the answer to his death.
Meanwhile, Brian Lane proves you're never too old to "tweet" when he embraces the popular phenomenon of social networking via Twitter.

´óÏó´«Ã½ TWO Friday 8 October 2010
Commonwealth Games 2010
Hazel Irvine and Rob Hayles present more medals from the cycling, including:
8.35am Women's 3000m Individual Pursuit Final
9.15am Men's Team Sprint Final
9.35am Men's 20km Scratch race Final
The final day of action in track cycling begins with the women's Individual Pursuit. Northern Ireland's Wendy Houvenhaghel won Olympic silver in Beijing two years ago and a gold in Delhi would atone for her disappointment at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, when she was disqualified in this event. Competing for England will be multiple Paralympic champion Sarah Storey.
Scotland will be trying to defend their men's Team Sprint title before the cycling competition at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex closes with the men's Scratch race, in which Mark Cavendish so memorably won the Isle of Man's first Commonwealth cycling gold four years ago.
Commentary comes from Hugh Porter, Chris Boardman and Jill Douglas.
There are also highlights of the morning sessions of the athletics and swimming heats and news of other British competitors in action.
Commonwealth Games 2010 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. Digital viewers can access more live coverage of events via ´óÏó´«Ã½i on the red button and broadband.

´óÏó´«Ã½ FOUR Friday 8 October 2010
Justin Currie, Chris Difford and Boo Hewerdine are this week's featured artists as ´óÏó´«Ã½ Four continues to combine great singer-songwriters for unique concerts celebrating the craft of the song, in a month-long celebration of the singer-songwriter.
Filmed at Bush Hall on Uxbridge Road in West London, these special concerts see three singer-songwriters perform their classic songs in turn, while helping each other out musically with harmonies and the odd guitar part. The artists only meet an hour or two before going onstage and, in between performances, take viewers inside their work, chatting about their songs, their history and background.
This week's songwriters – Justin Currie, formerly of Del Amitri, who wrote hits including Nothing Ever Happens; Chris Difford, who mixes his solo work with Squeeze hits such as Up The Junction; and Boo Hewerdine, formerly of The Bible and perhaps best known for writing Patience Of Angels for Eddi Reader – compare notes on songwriting, life after Top Of The Pops and the male menopause.
The concerts provide an intimate evening with some of the world's best singer-songwriters and some well-loved songs.
Songwriters' Circle is part of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Four's month-long celebration of the singer-songwriter. Programming also includes Singer-Songwriters At The ´óÏó´«Ã½, four hour-long episodes exploring a rich vein of ´óÏó´«Ã½ archive singer-songwriter performances – including Neil Diamond, Elton John and Billy Joel – which transmits alongside Songwriters' Circle on Friday evenings. The channel also features a series of classic In Concert performances from the early Seventies, featuring James Taylor, Carole King, Neil Young and Cat Stevens; plus recent concerts by the likes of James Taylor, Carole King and Leonard Cohen.
