Network TV 91Èȱ¬ Week 42: Unplaced
91Èȱ¬ TWO Unplaced
The Big Silence, a new three-part series, follows five people who have taken time out of their daily lives in an attempt to understand just why silence is so elusive and hard to attain in modern-day society.
Carrie, David, Helen, Jon and Trish all have modern, high-pressured jobs in various demanding trades: business, teaching, PR, media and hospitality. They live hectic lives surrounded by constant white noise – internet, text, mobile phone, conference-calling and multi-media. All of them are aware of something profoundly missing from their lifestyles and are looking for an opportunity to find a more spiritual dimension to their lives.
Guiding the volunteers on their spiritual journey is Abbot Christopher Jamison of Worth Abbey in West Sussex, whom many viewers will remember from popular 91Èȱ¬ Two series The Monastery.
As a Benedictine monk, Christopher is steeped in the Catholic tradition of the contemplative life, but he is convinced that everyone in the "real" world outside the monastery can also benefit from sustained, regular periods of silence.

Dave's emotions are in turmoil after his kiss with Sarah, as Mick Ford's touching yet humorous drama series about finding love after heartbreak continues.
Confused, Dave tries to avoid Sarah when he drops youngest daughter Evie off at school, but at the same time he's also desperate to see her again. Eventually they're forced to meet at Evie's parents' evening. After a heart to heart, they agree that the kiss was an understandable response to their emotions over Rita, and decide to continue as normal.
In an attempt to be supportive, Dave vows to track down Lucy's real dad but information is scant. He knows Rita fell pregnant at university so starts reading her diaries looking for clues. With a little help from Sarah, he tracks down a man called Stuart who claims to know Rita from her university days.
Later, Dave meets up with Stuart and is shocked when Stuart reveals he knew all along he had a child with Rita and she'd secretly kept in touch with him over the years, sending him pictures of Lucy. Dave is devastated by Rita's deceit and begins to question the memory of the woman he loved.
Meanwhile, Dave's children are struggling in their own unique ways. Tanya, never the greatest employee, messes up an important set of photos and tries to hide them from her father, afraid he'll be disappointed in her; and Ewan, desperate for attention, deliberately harms himself but pretends it's a football accident.
In need of a quiet evening, Dave arranges for all the kids to stay elsewhere that night, inviting Sarah over for some company.
But before Sarah arrives, he is confronted by ex-wife Michelle who brings home a poorly Evie, storming out after giving Dave a piece of her mind.
Later, with Evie sound asleep, Dave and Sarah's feelings get the better of them and before they know it, they're in bed. But Evie wakes up and comes to the bedroom door. Sarah and Dave are horrified, uncertain of what Evie saw and how she'll react...

Colin Murray introduces highlights of the day's Premier League games, including the match between Everton and Liverpool. Merseyside derbies are usually fast and frenetic affairs, with the last 11 league games producing 19 red cards. Liverpool's Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Everton's Marouane Fellaini were both dismissed when the sides last met before Dirk Kuyt grabbed the winner for the Reds.
The day's other game sees newly promoted Blackpool host Manchester City at Bloomfield Road. While City have spent a fortune in the hope of becoming a Premier League force, Ian Holloway guided Blackpool to promotion from the Championship on a shoestring budget. Most pundits tipped the Tangerines to struggle before the start of the season, but there have been some encouraging signs from Holloway's side so far.

91Èȱ¬ FOUR Monday 18 October 2010
Mark Gatiss – star of the League Of Gentlemen, writer of Doctor Who and Sherlock, and horror fan – continues his celebration of horror cinema.
In this episode Mark tells the stories behind the films of the Fifties and Sixties, which fired his lifelong enthusiasm for horror when he first saw them on TV as a child.
These mainly British pictures were dominated by the legendary Hammer Films, which rewrote the horror rulebook with a revolutionary infusion of sex and full-colour gore – all produced in the English 91Èȱ¬ Counties. Mark explains just what made these films so special.
He meets key Hammer figures to find out why their Frankenstein and Dracula films conquered the world, making international stars of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. He looks at the new boom in horror that followed in Hammer's wake, talking to Barbara Steele, star of the ravishing Italian film Black Sunday, and influential American producer Roger Corman, creator of a series of disturbing and dreamlike Edgar Allan Poe films.
While an excessive emphasis on sex helped fuel Hammer's decline after the late Sixties, Mark recounts how other British horror films flourished, including the portmanteau films of Amicus Productions, which were structured around sequences of short stories, and the intriguing cycle of "folk horror" films set in the British countryside and drawing on paganism and folklore – such as The Wicker Man and Mark's personal favourite, Blood On Satan's Claw.
Mark also talks to actors Barbara Shelley and David Warner about their horror appearances, makes a pilgrimage to Whitstable, home of Peter Cushing, and finds out why Dracula's bedroom activities got the British censor steamed up.

On Tuesday the Swingle Singers take centre stage as they show the ZingZillas how to make sounds with their mouths and voices. But the only sound Panzee can seem to make is a fit of the giggles!

Stationed in their impressive home base, the Octopod, the Octonauts dive into action whenever there is trouble underwater, using their fleet of aquatic vehicles to rescue sea creatures, explore new underwater worlds and triumphantly save the oceans from danger – all in a day's rather wet work.
There's an explosive start on Monday when Captain Barnacles Bear and the team must evacuate sea creatures before an underwater volcano erupts. But there's one creature that won't budge: a slow-moving, gelatinous Blobfish.
On Tuesday the Octonauts follow an old map to what Kwazii believes is treasure guarded by a sea monster, but instead they meet a playful Octopus with all kinds of surprising abilities.
On Wednesday the Octonauts find an unusual Sea Star on the beach and search the ocean from top to bottom (literally) to help find its home.
On Thursday the team helps out an Albino Humpback Whale with a nasty case of sunburn.
Finally, on Friday the Gup-B goes missing and the Octonauts journey into a mysterious kelp forest, meeting strange and interesting creatures along the way.
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.

Me And My Monsters Eps 1 to 5/13
The fiendish new live-action comedy series follows the lives of the Carlson family. Nick, Kate and their children Eddie and Angela have recently relocated from Australia to a smart townhouse in the UK. It has everything they could wish for in a new home; original features, plenty of rooms and a fabulous kitchen. Even more incredibly it was on the market at a knock-down price. Some might say it was a giveaway. So what's the catch? Well... there are monsters in the basement!
But they're not the kind of monsters that people should be afraid of. Fiend, Haggis and Norman might look a bit odd; they might cause mess and mayhem; they might have questionable personal hygiene issues – but the reality is they just want to be loved and become part of the family.
For Angela, they're the worst house guests a teenage girl could have. For Kate, they're another three kids to juggle with her working life. For highly strung Nick they are a constant source of chaos and stress. But for Eddie, they're the best friends a 10-year-old boy could have.
This week Eddie panics about his impending school report and tries to stop the post; Haggis gets depressed and needs a father figure so Nick steps into the role; the monsters try to revive their singing group; and Eddie teaches the monsters about lying and soon regrets his decision.
Nick is played by Felix Williamson, Kate by Lauren Clair, Eddie by Macauley Keeper and Angela by Ivy Latimer. The Monster Puppets were created by Jim Henson's Creature Shop UK.

It's July 1969 and as the world waits with bated breath for news of the Apollo 11 astronauts, a young boy meets 90-year-old Julius Bedford who tells an extraordinary story of two men's journey to the Moon, in 1909.
As a young man, Bedford chances to meet Professor Cavor, a somewhat unworldly scientist with an amazing invention called Cavorite. Anything to which it is applied becomes opaque to the force of gravity. Knowing a miracle when he sees one and with a keen eye on profit, Bedford encourages Cavor to think big. And so the two men construct a copper and cast-iron sphere which will fly them to the Moon. But what terrors await them in the lunar interior? And will they ever succeed in returning to Earth?

On 23 February 2002, Ingrid Betancourt, a presidential candidate in Colombia's elections, was kidnapped by the left-wing Farc rebel group along with her assistant and friend, Clara Rojas.
Ingrid is of dual nationality, having married a French diplomat, and swiftly became perhaps the world's most famous hostage, with presidents pleading for her release at the G8 and even the Pope asking for her release.
She was held for more than six years in the jungle, with only occasional news coming out, including a shocking picture which showed her clearly on the verge of collapse, if not death, in 2007.
Hostage In The Jungle – This World is the first documentary account of what happened in the jungle in her own words and of those who were there with her: Clara, her campaign manager, and Marc Gonsalves, one of three Americans who were also held by Farc for many years.
The film tells how Ingrid and Clara's friendship fell apart, with them ending up virtual enemies, and how Clara came to have a child with one of the Farc guards. The film explores the dynamics of captivity, including remarkable interviews with both the man who kidnapped Ingrid and her main camp commander. Interspersed with archive of her family and politicians fighting over how to deal with the problems, the film is a raw, first-hand account of how people cope with surviving 24 hours a day with fellow hostages. In Ingrid's words: "It is often more difficult to forgive your fellow hostages than the guards who keep you."
It is a story of continued escape attempts; the terrible retributions that Farc would take on such attempts; of hell in the jungle; and of extraordinary human suffering and endurance.
The film ends with the most daring rescue since operation Entebbe (a hostage-rescue mission in the Seventies). The Colombian military sent in 12 unarmed men and women pretending to be aid workers and lured the guerrillas into believing that they were transferring them on a humanitarian mission. The film includes extraordinary footage of the whole operation including footage from a Farc mobile phone, as well as accounts by those who are saved.

Nothing marks out a life that seems to be destined for wealth and privilege as sharply as the photographs that appear on the "Girls in Pearls" page of Country Life magazine. Here the nation's most blue-blooded young women have, for the last 100 years, announced their engagements, their comings of age and their life plans.
Arabella, who featured on the page in 1990, admits in the film: "I really enjoy all the stuff that the Women's Lib people fought against. I love baking, I like cooking, I care about curtains."
Brought up with the ambition of marrying someone with a stately home or a large country estate, many of these women discovered that the wedding ring was not so much the expected happy-ever-after ending as the beginning of a rollercoaster ride through modern married life. As the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, featured in 1960, puts it: "There is a price to pay for everything. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
This film follows the lives of five of the women who have appeared on the page over the last 50 years. From Kate Sackville-West, who grew up in Knole, one of the largest houses in the country, to Henrietta Tiarks, the Fifties It-girl who married a duke, Wonderland charts the highs, the lows and extraordinary reversals of fortune that followed the publication of their glamorous and pearl-decked engagement photos.

Michael Wood's Story Of England –
Henry VIII To The Industrial Revolution Ep 5/6
Historian Michael Wood nears the end of this compelling tale of one English village through time.
Set in the Leicestershire village of Kibworth, and assisted by today's villagers, the story now reaches the dramatic events of Henry VIII's Reformation and the battles of the English Civil War.
Michael tracks Kibworth's 17th-century dissenters; travels on the Grand Union Canal; and discovers an 18th-century feminist writer from Kibworth who was a pioneer of children's books.
The extraordinary tale of a young highwayman transported to Australia also comes to life as his living descendents return to the village to uncover their roots.
Finally, the Industrial Revolution comes to the village with framework knitting factories, changing the village and its people for ever.
Michael Wood's Story Of England is repeated tomorrow night, Thursday 21 October, a broadcast that is simulcast on the 91Èȱ¬ HD channel – the 91Èȱ¬'s High Definition channel, available through Freesat 108, Freeview 50, Sky 143 and Virgin 108.

The programme also previews two exhibitions of his work at the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Talbot Rice Gallery in Edinburgh. Gray has been cited as a major influence on writers, artists and musicians, from Iain Banks and Jonathan Coe to Belle And Sebastian. Anthony Burgess has called him "the most important Scottish writer since Walter Scott".
Miranda Sawyer meets British rap sensation Tinie Tempah, midway through his current tour of the UK, to discuss his latest album, Disc-ography. Having been a regular on the underground scene for several years, Tinie Tempah was catapulted into the mainstream this year when his first single, Pass Out, took the No. 1 spot and became one of the best-selling hits of the year. His eclectic mix of grime, pop, house, dubstep and rap has brought high-profile admirers with recent collaborators including Diddy and Damon Albarn.
The Culture Show checks out one of the most talked-about movies this year, The Kids Are All Right, which is screening at the London Film Festival next week prior to its UK release.

One of the Culture Show's very own directors, who grew up in similar circumstances, gives his verdict on the play.

The UCOS team are drawn into a serious criminal underworld when they reopen the investigation into a fatal fire at Ealing's Union Club in 1996, as the detective drama continues.
Originally ruled as accidental, new information from Dawn Abbott, one of the club's former employees, suggests that the fire was a targeted arson attack. But since Dawn is volunteering this information having just been arrested on a drugs offence, the team are suspicious of her motives.
Among those killed by the fire was Mark Johnson, well-known to Gerry Standing for running a shady family business. Dawn tells Sandra Pullman and Gerry that death threats had been made against Johnson just days before the fire. While the original investigation concluded that the spread and intensity of the blaze was caused by flammable materials left in a room by decorator Derek Ross, Dawn is certain the room had been cleared before the fire.
Mark's brother Karl is pleased the team are re-examining the case but would prefer that they leave the dispensing of justice to him. It is probably this knowledge that encourages all involved with the fire to keep their recollections to themselves, no matter how badly scarred by the event. Faced by a wall of silence, the team consider the case from a forensic perspective. When they take counsel from the original fire investigator, George Mackie, it triggers an explosive sequence of events.
Dawn Abbott is played by Tilly Vosburgh, Gerry Standing by Dennis Waterman, Superintendent Sandra Pullman by Amanda Redman, George Mackie by Roy Marsden and Danny Johnson by Martin Marquez.

91Èȱ¬ FOUR Friday 22 October 2010
The fourth and final edition of Singer-Songwriters At The 91Èȱ¬ features archive classics from Donovan, Gerry Rafferty, James Taylor, Elton John, Mickey Newbury, Neil Young, Tom Paxton, John Prine, Melanie, Jesse Winchester, Steve Forbert, Chris Rea, Carole King and more.
Part of 91Èȱ¬ Four's month-long celebration of the singer-songwriter, this series unlocks the 91Èȱ¬ vaults to explore the burgeoning genre that exploded at the dawn of the Seventies, becoming one of the defining styles of the decade.
This hour-long programme sources material from 91Èȱ¬ programmes such as the Old Grey Whistle Test, In Concert, Top Of The Pops, One In Ten and Cilla!
Each episode of Singer-Songwriters At The 91Èȱ¬ is followed by a specially-created Songwriters Circle programme, in which three singer-songwriters perform their classic songs, while helping each other out musically with harmonies and the odd guitar part. 91Èȱ¬ Four's season also offers a series of classic In Concert performances from the early Seventies, featuring James Taylor, Carole King, Neil Young and Cat Stevens, and more recent concerts by the likes of James Taylor, Carole King and Leonard Cohen.

A mix of great British and American singer-songwriters in the form of David Gray, KT Tunstall and Ray Lamontagne feature in the final episode of the series in which 91Èȱ¬ Four combines great singer-songwriters for unique concerts celebrating their craft.
Each of these performers brings their own unique style to the session, which sees performances of David Gray's Babylon, KT Tunstall's Black Horse And The Cherry Tree and a very special version of Ray Lamontagne's Trouble.
As well as these great performances, filmed at Bush Hall on Uxbridge Road in west London, the artists reveal the stories behind the songs and the journey that a songwriter embarks on from melodies to lyrics.
The artists only meet an hour or two before going onstage and, in between performances, take the viewer inside their work, chatting about their songs, their history and background. Each performer plays their classic song in turn, while helping each other out musically with harmonies and the odd guitar part.
Songwriters' Circle is part of 91Èȱ¬ Four's month-long celebration of the singer-songwriter. Other programming includes Singer-Songwriters At The 91Èȱ¬, four hour-long episodes exploring a rich vein of 91Èȱ¬ archive singer-songwriter performances, including Neil Diamond, Elton John and Billy Joel, broadcast 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 and more recent concerts by the likes of James Taylor, Carole King and Leonard Cohen.

In the Sixties a small indie label conquered American music. Having built its name initially with folk revival artists such as Judy Collins and Tom Paxton, signed out of Greenwich Village, Elektra Records progressed to signing some of the US's most influential artists including The Doors, Love, Tim Buckley, Incredible Sting Band and The Stooges.
Consistently on the cutting edge, Elektra Records was run by suave visionary Jac Holzman. This programme delves into the label, following Holzman's journey, telling his story and documenting his achievements along the way.
Directed by Ben Whalley, the programme includes contributions from Jackson Browne, Iggy Pop, Judy Collins and a choice 91Èȱ¬ archive.
91Èȱ¬ Four accompanies the documentary with various archive shows showcasing the best of Elektra Records; and 91Èȱ¬ Radio 2 has a three-part documentary series about the label, presented by Paul Gambaccini, starting on Tuesday 5 October.
