Mastercrafts

Friday 12 February

9.00-10.00pm ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO (Schedule addition 28 January)

• Interview with Monty Don

Monty Don presents Mastercrafts, celebrating six of the traditional crafts that helped build the nation and its heritage, ranging from thatching to stonemasonry.

A huge fan of traditional crafts, Monty keeps a watchful eye on three hopefuls who are passionate about learning these trades. They are put through their paces by the country's leading practitioners of wood craft, metal work, thatching, stone masonry, weaving and stained glass. After six weeks of training and hard labour, their work and achievements are judged by experts in their field to see who has best mastered the craft.

In the first episode, 46-year-old garden designer Charles Hooper; 33-year-old full- time student and single mum Sarah Charlton; and 29-year-old supply teacher Tom Vaughan begin their intensive apprenticeship with green wood, undeterred by the gruelling schedule.

At its peak, the green wood industry employed more than 20,000 labourers and "bodgers" camps were a familiar sight in the forests. Bodgers were the men who turned the parts for the mass production of chairs, carving the wood on site.

Today, there are little more than 600 dedicated green wood workers left in Britain, including Mastercrafts mentor Guy Mallinson. Guy left a successful cabinet-making business in London for a new life in Dorset, devoting himself to the simplicity of green woodcraft. He works without power tools, screws, glue or fixings, using just freshly cut or unseasoned wood and ingenious tools, such as the pole lathe and the steam bender.

The students quickly discover that this is no holiday. Green woodcraft calls for extreme precision, dexterity and huge reserves of patience.

While Monty explores the historical importance of green wood, the trainees learn how to cleave the raw material; to turn blocks of wood on the pole lathe; and to manipulate the components fresh out of the steam bender. Then comes the final test – designing and making a chair without assistance.

Can they impress Mike Abbott, one of the country's leading authorities and a published author on green wood?

Winter Olympics 2010 Opening Ceremony

Friday 12 February

1.45-4.45am ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ TWO (Schedule addition 27 January)

• Press pack

Live coverage of the Opening Ceremony comes from Vancouver's BC Place Stadium as the 21st Winter Olympics get under way in spectacular style. With 2,500 athletes from more than 80 nations expected to take part in these Games over the next 17 days, Canada is promising to put on a magnificent show.

As always, the event culminates in the lighting of the Olympic flame, which has been carried by 12,000 torchbearers from Athens to Vancouver over the past four months.

Live coverage of the whole ceremony is simulcast on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ HD channel – the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

The groundbreaking series on the impact of Latin music on the musical and social landscape of the United States continues with Borderlands, which traces the waves of immigration between the USA and Mexico and reveals the dynamic role played by Mexican-American music.

The story begins on the streets of East Los Angeles, where 17-year-old Richard Valenzuela "crossed the tracks", changed his name and became the all-American superstar Ritchie Valens. He went on to inspire other Mexican-American musicians including Sam the Sham, The Premiers, Los Lobos, Carlos Santana and Linda Ronstadt.

But it is in the troubled Borderlands, stretching 2,000 miles from Texas to California, that the music has most vividly depicted the myths and legends of an immigrant people who have demanded, and achieved, their place in American society. This programme charts their struggles, joys and aspirations and it's in the Borderlands that much of their musical culture has evolved.

The programme features a look at the music of Los Lobos, who rediscovered their parents' music and instruments and who won a Grammy with La Pistola Y El Corazón; Carlos Santana, who once played violin beside his mariachi musician father in the brothels of Tijuana; Linda Ronstadt, who turned her back on rock stardom to make the Mexican-inspired Songs Of My Father; Freddie Fender, who played the low-life bars along the Borders and reached No. 1 in the charts with Before The Next Teardrop Falls; and Selena, who was shot dead at the age of 23 by the president of her fan club.
