Lark Rise To Candleford Ep 5/12

Sunday 7 February

8.00-9.00pm ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE

Everyone in Candleford is talking about the mysterious recluse Mr Reppington, played by special guest Tom Conti, who has been hiding himself away in the Golden Lion Hotel for months, as the period drama based on Flora Thompson's novels continues.

Dorcas is fascinated by the lonely existence of Mr Reppington, so when he sends her a cipher inviting her to meet him at midnight in the hotel gardens, she is thrilled to accept. But when she questions his solitary lifestyle, he brings their rendezvous to an abrupt end. It isn't long before Daniel uncovers that he is, in fact, missing celebrated concert pianist William Bourne. The story could be a big scoop for Daniel but Laura urges him to do the decent thing and not reveal Bourne's secret.

Ruby and Pearl, meanwhile, are planning a fashion show to increase business. While Minnie is helping the Pratts with the preparations, she is horrified to realise that Ruby is planning to run away, and is anxious about the hurt that Ruby's sudden departure could cause.

Over in Lark Rise, Emma feels the romance is ebbing from her marriage and a wink from a soldier momentarily turns her head. When Daniel – quite by chance – sees the encounter, Emma worries he will tell Laura. When she receives an anonymous love letter, she assumes Daniel and the soldier have been playing a joke on her.

Dorcas is determined to entice Bourne out of his lonely existence and arranges for a piano to be taken to the hotel for him to play. Though he refuses, he reveals the reason for his withdrawal from society: he is grieving over the recent death of a woman, originally from Candleford, whom he loved but gave up for his career.

In a last, desperate attempt to engage Bourne with the world again, Dorcas takes him to Lark Rise, hoping that he will be moved by the music he hears there. But is it enough?

Tom Conti plays Mr Reppington, Julia Sawalha plays Dorcas, Ben Aldridge plays Daniel, Olivia Hallinan plays Laura, Victoria Hamilton plays Ruby, Matilda Ziegler plays Pearl, Ruby Bentall plays Minnie and Claudie Blakley plays Emma.

David Dimbleby continues to trace the Seven Ages Of Britain

David Dimbleby continues to chart the history of Britain's greatest art and artefacts and tell the story of the nation through its treasures, in the second episode of Seven Ages Of Britain, which examines the Age Of Worship.

In the Middle Ages, Britain was caught in a power struggle between the Crown and the Church. The two were reconciled in the code of chivalry which ordered devotion to one's King as well as God; a story revealed in the fabulous objects left in Britain's cathedrals and castles, or safeguarded in museums.

Dimbleby also re-assesses the reign of Richard II, arguing that under his rule, England experienced a superb cultural renaissance, and travels to Munich in search of Britain's only preserved medieval crown.

Items tracked down (and places visited) include: Mappa Mundi (Hereford Cathedral); Thomas Becket pilgrim badges (Museum of London); Becket Miracle Windows (Canterbury Cathedral); the Coventry Doom (Holy Trinity, Coventry); the Bury Bible (Parker Library, Cambridge); Arthur's Round Table (Winchester Great Hall); effigies of Templar Knights (Temple Church); Eleanor Cross (Geddington); Edward III sword (Windsor Castle); Garter stall plates (St George's Chapel, Windsor); tomb of the Black Prince (Canterbury Cathedral); Anne of Bohemia's Crown (the Schatzkammer, Munich); Westminster Hall; Chaucer's Canterbury Tales; frontispiece of Chaucer's Troilus and Cressida (Parker Library, Cambridge); and the Wilton Diptych (National Gallery).

The Super Bowl is always an entertainment spectacle as well as a sporting event and among the half-time entertainment is legendary British rock band The Who.

Adrian Chiles presents the last word on the weekend's football in the Premier League.

Today's fixtures had a derby theme with Chelsea hosting Arsenal and Wolves making the short journey to Birmingham City.

Chelsea enjoyed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Arsenal when they visited the Emirates earlier this season and Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting his side to complete their first double over the Gunners for more than four years. Arsenal enjoyed a 2-1 win when they visited Stamford Bridge last season but both goals came from Robin Van Persie, who is currently sidelined through injury.

Birmingham are also looking to do the double over Wolves, having won 1-0 at Molineux in November, courtesy of a Lee Bowyer goal. It's a clash of two former international managers, with Alex McLeish, who quit Scotland to take over at Birmingham, facing former Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy.

The programme also features a round-up of yesterday's top-flight matches and a look at the quirky side of football in 2Good 2Bad.
