Friday 8 January

9.00-10.00pm BBC ONE (Schedule addition 11 December)

Leo thinks he may have figured out why he has no recollection of Connelly's post-mortem but, before he can prove his innocence, he is violently struck over the head in front of his house, as the forensic drama continues.

While Leo lies in a coma, Nikki helps the police with their investigations, as the body of Coroner David Levin is discovered and he has also been poisoned by cyanide.

All evidence points to Rebecca but Harry refuses to believe she is behind the murders. He has become romantically involved with her and, in a bid to help prove her innocence, he re-examines Levin's body to find evidence, putting his career on the line.

When Harry finds proof that Levin took his own life, Nikki convinces the police they have no case against Rebecca. Harry goes to question Rebecca about why Levin would want to frame her, only to discover an empty house and no sign of her...

William Gaminara plays Professor Leo Dalton, Emilia Fox plays Dr Nikki Alexander, Adam Kotz plays David Levin, Lucy Cohu plays Rebecca Connelly, Tom Ward plays Dr Harry Cunningham and Polly Frame plays Clare Ambler.

In 1840, one man transformed travel in Britain. His name was George Bradshaw and his railway guides inspired the Victorians to take to the tracks. Michael Portillo continues his journeys to find out what remains of Bradshaw's Britain.

On the last leg of his journey from Liverpool to Scarborough, Michael's first stop is Flamborough Head. There he meets RSPB site manager Ian Kendall to find out what's happened to the sea-bird populations in the area since Bradshaw's time. Back then it was a popular destination for bird watchers and "climmers", who scrambled down the cliffs to steal bird's eggs. These days, it is home to Britain's largest mainland colony of gannets. The cliffs are also home to England's oldest chalk lighthouse, as well as a more "modern" one built in Bradshaw's time which pioneered a new signalling system.

Along the coast in Filey, Michael meets local fisherman Jeremy Smith to discover why they still use traditional "coble" boats. These boats are unique to the area and were built to cope with the challenges of the coastline. Calling on expert knitter Margaret Taylor, Michael learns to decipher the traditional knitting patterns on Filey fishermen's jumpers.

Finally, Michael arrives in Scarborough, the end of his journey. Scarborough became one of the most popular tourist destinations in Victorian times when the railways arrived. He pays a visit to field archaeologists Dr Nigel Melton and Janet Montgomery to hear about the latest research into "Gristhorpe man". This 4,000-year-old skeleton was discovered in Bradshaw's time and caused an immediate sensation, attracting crowds of Victorian visitors to Scarborough. Today, Michael finds out what kind of person Gristhorpe man was and what it was that killed him.

Michael also goes on a tour of one of the oldest and largest purpose-built hotels in Europe, the Scarborough Grand, a traditional Victorian hotel.

Five years on and still in trouble – Tracy Beaker (Dani Harmer) is back

Devised by multi-award-winning children's author Jacqueline Wilson and the drama team at CBBC, the series sees Dani Harmer reprise the role that made her famous.

Tracy Beaker Returns catches up with the eponymous heroine, now a young adult and living with her adoptive mother, Cam. She is writing a book, The Story Of Tracy Beaker, which gives an account of her sometimes outrageous actions while living in the care home. She is convinced that the book will be an instant hit that will make her rich and famous. However, after a series of disasters, she realises she needs to earn some cash – fast.

Over in the Dumping Ground, they need staff and who better than one of their former residents? Having spent half her life living in the home, Tracy approaches the job of trainee care worker believing that she knows it all. But she soon finds out the hard way that she doesn't know everything.

Still young herself, Tracy is caught between two worlds. She must earn the respect of her colleagues as a professional, without losing the trust of the children.

Dani Harmer plays Tracy Beaker, Lisa Coleman plays Cam and Connor Byrne plays Mike.

Tracy Beaker Returns is simulcast on the BBC HD channel – the BBC's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.
