St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Art detectives Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould head to Somerset, where 15 unsigned prints of Lucian Freud’s etching Girl with Fig Leaf have been discovered in a garage. Will they prove to be authentic works by a colossus of British 20th-century portraiture – or not so much Freud as fraud? If these prints are genuinely by Freud, then Somerset-based brothers Mike and Anthony Newman could be the lucky recipients of a small fortune. A titan of the 20th century, Lucian Freud is one of the biggest names in the art world, and his paintings sell for millions. His life, though, was notoriously complex and chaotic – making the quest to find out the truth about the pictures extremely challenging. The original 1947 edition of Girl with Fig Leaf was Freud’s portrait of his then-wife Kitty Garman, an artist in her own right. It’s a beguiling image and a popular Freud work, but apart from ten authorised etchings, no more are known of. Initial clues arrive in the form of the Newman brothers’ family connection to the relatively obscure north London printing firm of Mauroo, which specialised in fine-art prints. The firm was located in Islington – just around the corner from where Freud painted. Fiona goes on the hunt for the original copper plate used to make the authorised prints of Girl with Fig Leaf with Alice Clanachan at the V&A, and hears from Alexander Boyt, one of Freud’s 14 children, who shares stories from Freud’s Islington days, including some intriguing underworld connections. Meanwhile, Philip seeks guidance from Freud’s former helper Paul Dewis, who demonstrates the etching process Freud used. Could Mike and Anthony’s prints hold the key to the mystery? Paper conservator Nicholas Burnett, who can date them, and Dr Xavier Aure, an imaging specialist who can recover any hidden markings, believe so. But will it be enough to prove that a previously unknown set of etchings by Lucian Freud has been discovered? Documentary Series 1: 4. The Dolphin How did the dolphin get so smart?

Documentary Lady Antonia Fraser Remembers... The Birthday Party It was at a 1975 production of his play The Birthday Party that Harold Pinter first met Lady Antonia Fraser and changed both their lives with the single phrase: 'Must you go?' What followed was a scandal that gripped London's high society and a marriage that lasted 28 years, until Pinter's death in 2008. Here, Lady Antonia explains how that original encounter has always meant that the play holds a special meaning for her, despite its unsettling nature - and she looks back fondly on the BBC's 1987 acclaimed adaptation of The Birthday Party and her husband's performance as the mysteriously menacing Goldberg, alongside a cast that includes Kenneth Cranham, Julie Walters and Dame Joan Plowright. Documentary It's Stanley's birthday, but the party that is thrown for him is not quite what he was expecting. Written by Harold Pinter. Harold Pinter - Part 1: The Room Nigel Williams's two-part film biography explores Pinter's life, work, and political passions - from his East End childhood to his work as an actor, his experience of both early critical rejection and adulation, his screenwriting, and his love of poetry and passion for cricket. Part One explores Pinter's key theme - the room - through the very rooms in which he wrote his first great series of plays. Arena reveals the links between the plays and places, and meets the people who live there now. We visit the East London terraced house room where Pinter grew up and first wrote poetry; the theatre dressing room where he began to formulate his ideas about playwriting and language; the sitting room in the London cold-water flat where he wrote his first hit, The Caretaker, and his study in the bow-fronted house in Worthing, where he lived in the sixties with his first wife Vivien Merchant, and wrote The Homecoming. Harold Pinter has given Arena exclusive access to personal recordings in which he talks frankly to his biographer Michael Billington. Presented for the first time on television, they tell Pinter's story in his own words, as he remembers it. Film Harold Pinter - Part 2: Celebration In part two of this film biography, Arena explores the relationship between the public and private dimensions of the famous playwright and actor's life and work; the intimacy of his plays since the seventies; his work in films and television drama; his passion for poetry; and his fervent 'political engagement'. Arena accompanied Pinter for two years to film plays and events in America and all over Europe. The wildly funny Celebration features a group of friends celebrating in a restaurant and, over the course of the evening, revealing details of their private lives in this very public space. Arena reunites members of the cast, including Lindsay Duncan, Andy de la Tour, Susan Wooldridge and Indira Varma, who discuss their working relationship with Harold Pinter. Other contributors include his wife Lady Antonia Fraser, journalist John Pilger and Pinter's biographer Michael Billington.

Joe Jordan When your nickname is Jaws, your reputation goes before you. Joe Jordan struck fear into opposing defenders with his full-blooded approach to football. Graduating with flying colours from the school of hard knocks at Elland Road in the 1970s, where he won a league title, Joe starred for Manchester United, before leaving a tangible legacy with Italian giants AC Milan. However, his performances and goals for Scotland on the biggest of stages are what have cemented him as an icon of the game. The only Scottish player to have scored in three World Cups, Joe sits comfortably among the elite of the game. He reveals how he made the most of the ability he had to forge a top-class career in the game, and how the grounding he got in the intense Leeds dressing room would help shape the career of future footballing greats such as Franco Baresi and Mauro Tassotti. Joe also reflects on the lifelong friendship he made with the late, great Gordon McQueen, and how McQueen’s death from dementia has made him reflect on a career heading footballs. Featuring contributions from Fabio Capello, Mauro Tassotti, John Giles, Hayley McQueen and Graham Hunter. Sport 2026/27: 08/08/2026 Highlights of Dundee v Aberdeen and St Mirren v St Johnstone.

Comedy Specials: Pure Dead Brilliant A nostalgic look back at City Lights, the iconic sitcom that captured the spirit of 1980s Scotland. City Lights was a pioneering sitcom that ran from 1984 to 1991. Set in the office of a Glasgow bank, it starred Gerard Kelly as Willie Melvin, a frustrated clerk who has notions of being a novelist but is thwarted by his ineptitude and the scepticism of his family, colleagues and friends. It was a cultural sensation in Scotland during the 80s, perfectly capturing the culture, fashion and aspirations of the era. Pure Dead Brilliant reunites surviving cast members Elaine C Smith, Jonathan Watson, Dave Anderson and the show’s creator, Bob Black, to look back at the magical moments of this evergreen series and provide behind-the-scenes insights. We also hear from the actors who were inspired by the series, such as Gayle Telfer Stevens, Jordan Young and Sanjeev Kohli, as well as writers Damian Barr and Johnny McKnight, who talk about how they identify with the struggles of an aspiring writer. Kirsty Wark and Paul English tell us about the big events that shook Glasgow in the 80s, and we see how the series took part in the Garden Festival, The City of Culture, and even Italia 90. City Lights kick-started the careers of its stars, with Elaine C Smith going on to become Mary Doll in Rab C Nesbitt, Jonathan Watson starring in Only an Excuse, and Gerard Kelly playing bad guys in EastEnders and Brookside as well as his memorable role as Bunny in Ricky Gervais’s Extras. The City Lights stage show - The Haunting of Willie Melvin - marked a changing of the guard for the Scottish panto scene and was a massive hit all across Scotland, running for three weeks at Glasgow's King's Theatre. The theatre managers saw the cast as natural replacements for the old guard of Jimmy Logan, Stanley Baxter and Rikki Fulton. After that, Gerard Kelly, Andy Gray, Elaine C Smith and Jonathan Watson all became the most familiar faces on stage each Christmas. This programme is a warm and unashamedly nostalgic celebration of a classic Scottish comedy that will appeal to old fans and introduce the show to younger audiences.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything. Nature Series 5: 5.

But it’s a huge block of flats – will they be able to find and stop him before he pays out? Documentary Series 10: The NaNaz: Age against the Machine In a society that often expects women to quieten down as they grow older, six women from Newport have decided to turn the volume all the way up. Age against the Machine follows the extraordinary journey of The NaNaz, an all-female punk band tearing up the rulebook on growing older. They met at community workshops in south Wales set up to get women over 50 into music. For some, it was a return to a lifelong passion; for others, it was the first time they had played an instrument. When the course ended, the chemistry was undeniable, and The NaNaz were born. Within a month, they played their first gig in Newport. Over the past year, they have built a loyal fanbase across south Wales, released an EP – NaNafesto – and attracted widespread press coverage. Drawing directly from their own life experiences, they channel everyday realities into honest punk anthems about the menopause, care homes and even recycling. But now, they face their biggest opportunity: an invitation to play their first international gig at an all-female punk festival in New York. The documentary follows the reality of trying to make this American dream happen. Doing it entirely on their own terms brings massive challenges: they have no manager, and they all juggle incredibly busy lives filled with work and caring responsibilities. As the countdown to New York ticks away, the film follows their intense rehearsals, the logistical hurdles and the personal sacrifices required to make the NYC dream a reality. The NaNaz are six women who refuse to let anyone tell them how to live their third age. This is a life-affirming exploration of friendship, courage and reinvention.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Art detectives Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould head to Somerset, where 15 unsigned prints of Lucian Freud’s etching Girl with Fig Leaf have been discovered in a garage. Will they prove to be authentic works by a colossus of British 20th-century portraiture – or not so much Freud as fraud? If these prints are genuinely by Freud, then Somerset-based brothers Mike and Anthony Newman could be the lucky recipients of a small fortune. A titan of the 20th century, Lucian Freud is one of the biggest names in the art world, and his paintings sell for millions. His life, though, was notoriously complex and chaotic – making the quest to find out the truth about the pictures extremely challenging. The original 1947 edition of Girl with Fig Leaf was Freud’s portrait of his then-wife Kitty Garman, an artist in her own right. It’s a beguiling image and a popular Freud work, but apart from ten authorised etchings, no more are known of. Initial clues arrive in the form of the Newman brothers’ family connection to the relatively obscure north London printing firm of Mauroo, which specialised in fine-art prints. The firm was located in Islington – just around the corner from where Freud painted. Fiona goes on the hunt for the original copper plate used to make the authorised prints of Girl with Fig Leaf with Alice Clanachan at the V&A, and hears from Alexander Boyt, one of Freud’s 14 children, who shares stories from Freud’s Islington days, including some intriguing underworld connections. Meanwhile, Philip seeks guidance from Freud’s former helper Paul Dewis, who demonstrates the etching process Freud used. Could Mike and Anthony’s prints hold the key to the mystery? Paper conservator Nicholas Burnett, who can date them, and Dr Xavier Aure, an imaging specialist who can recover any hidden markings, believe so. But will it be enough to prove that a previously unknown set of etchings by Lucian Freud has been discovered? Documentary Series 1: 4. The Dolphin How did the dolphin get so smart?

Art detectives Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould head to Somerset, where 15 unsigned prints of Lucian Freud’s etching Girl with Fig Leaf have been discovered in a garage. Will they prove to be authentic works by a colossus of British 20th-century portraiture – or not so much Freud as fraud? If these prints are genuinely by Freud, then Somerset-based brothers Mike and Anthony Newman could be the lucky recipients of a small fortune. A titan of the 20th century, Lucian Freud is one of the biggest names in the art world, and his paintings sell for millions. His life, though, was notoriously complex and chaotic – making the quest to find out the truth about the pictures extremely challenging. The original 1947 edition of Girl with Fig Leaf was Freud’s portrait of his then-wife Kitty Garman, an artist in her own right. It’s a beguiling image and a popular Freud work, but apart from ten authorised etchings, no more are known of. Initial clues arrive in the form of the Newman brothers’ family connection to the relatively obscure north London printing firm of Mauroo, which specialised in fine-art prints. The firm was located in Islington – just around the corner from where Freud painted. Fiona goes on the hunt for the original copper plate used to make the authorised prints of Girl with Fig Leaf with Alice Clanachan at the V&A, and hears from Alexander Boyt, one of Freud’s 14 children, who shares stories from Freud’s Islington days, including some intriguing underworld connections. Meanwhile, Philip seeks guidance from Freud’s former helper Paul Dewis, who demonstrates the etching process Freud used. Could Mike and Anthony’s prints hold the key to the mystery? Paper conservator Nicholas Burnett, who can date them, and Dr Xavier Aure, an imaging specialist who can recover any hidden markings, believe so. But will it be enough to prove that a previously unknown set of etchings by Lucian Freud has been discovered? Documentary Series 1: 4. The Dolphin How did the dolphin get so smart?

Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

In Chelmsford, Pam meets Ron Hedley, whose faith and personal experience have inspired him to organise more than 40 walks for a cause close to his heart.

In the Peak District, we meet Faye Smith, a pilgrim guide and founder of Hope Walking. She shares how walking became a source of healing after experiencing tragedy and heartache. Pam also meets pastor Phil Tate, whose walks always attract attention as he travels around towns and cities carrying a 12-foot cross.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Lifestyle Adam’s Young Farmers: West Sussex Adam Henson is in West Sussex with 26-year-old soft fruit grower Archie Evans, who took over the family business determined to put his own stamp on it.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother.

Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

News Bridget Jones finds happiness but then questions if she really does have everything she ever wanted. Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated. Katarina reads a newspaper report that tells how her great-great-grandfather’s brother, her three-times great-uncle, was arrested for vagrancy, a charge often brought against black men. Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

Katarina is shocked by what she has learnt and would now like to find out how Matthew, his wife Emily and their children managed. At the Black Archives Museum in Overtown, Katarina meets Dr Dorothy Jenkins Fields, who reveals that Katarina’s great-great-grandmother Emily died in 1920 shortly after giving birth to a child called Beulah, who tragically only survived for two-and-a-half hours. Another child, Margaret, also disappears from the records and so sadly is assumed dead. Four years later, Matthew applies for US citizenship. He has married again and has one child living in Miami and another, Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara, has been sent back to The Bahamas. Dorothy speculates that it might have been because living in Overton was becoming increasingly dangerous. Newspaper reports record attacks by white supremacist groups in the area during the 1920s. Katarina wants to know about her great-great-grandfather’s response, and Dorothy tells her that Matthew was an officer in the freemasons. Wanting to find out more, Katarina meets historian and mason Gerry Urso, who tells her that Matthew joined the Prince Hall freemasons, the oldest African American freemason order in the USA. Founded in 1784, they were dedicated to ending slavery and promoting equality. In a final reveal, Katarina learns that the research team have tracked down a relative. Leslyn is Katarina’s great-grandmother Clara’s granddaughter. The last Katarina heard about Clara was that she had returned to The Bahamas as a child. Leslyn tells Katarina that Clara came back to Miami in the 1950s and that she was a churchgoer and believed passionately in improving the lives of the community. Katarina visits St John’s Baptist Church, where Clara worshipped. Here, she meets Cecily Robinson-Duffie. They talk about the role the church played in the civil rights movement, and Cecily shows Katarina Clara’s voter registration form, which dates to just a year after the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Cecily explains that behind the famous men and women who led the civil rights movement were an army of people like Clara who supported the movement. Despite the sadness she feels returning to The Bahamas and missing her late dad, Katarina talks about how proud she is of all her ancestors who worked to better themselves and their communities.

St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh We join the faithful gathered at St Patrick’s Roman Catholic Cathedral, Armagh, for a special evening prayer service to mark the 50th anniversary of the canonisation of Saint Oliver Plunkett. The service is led by Archbishop Eamon Martin, archbishop of Armagh and primate of all Ireland. Armagh holds a deep spiritual connection to Saint Oliver Plunkett, who served as archbishop there in the 17th century. The cathedral, standing on its historic hill, provides a fitting setting for this moment of remembrance and thanksgiving. Scripture readings will be complemented by hymns and choral music sung by choirs. Prayers will be offered in the spirit of Saint Oliver’s enduring legacy. Religion The Road Through North Wales: Episode 3 It’s the final episode and the pilgrims’ second week. Today, they start just outside Eryri national park and head west towards the Llyn Peninsula and the village of Y Fron in the famous north Wales slate landscape. They have a tough day of hill walking in the rain ahead of them. Tom and Spencer join Sonali on a 24-hour fast to celebrate the start of Paryushan, the holiest festival in the Jain calendar. The following day, the Pilgrim’s Way takes them through the spectacular slate landscape of the Nantlle valley, a Unesco world heritage site, before they head to St Beuno’s church in Clynnog Fawr - an imposing medieval pilgrim church, where it’s said St Beuno was buried. The pilgrims find their overnight accommodation at a Buddhist meditation and retreat centre, where they’re met by Tara, one of the spiritual leaders. The following morning, Tara leads them in meditation, before taking the pilgrims on one of the local pilgrimage routes to an ancient holy well, dedicated to Cybi, a 6th-century Celtic early Christian saint. As she lights incense, Tara explains that the Buddhist tradition is to come to places that are known as sacred, and to add their own practices and prayers. When they return to the hermitage, the pilgrims meet Lama Shenpen, its founder and spiritual leader. An extraordinary conversation about Buddhism and a ritual around the stupa – a Buddhist shrine – unlocks something unexpected and powerful in some of the pilgrims. The last leg of their journey takes them along the spectacular north Wales coast path. They climb a steep pass through two peaks, known as the Rivals, before tackling a narrow muddy track high up on the cliffs. They come across another ancient church dedicated to St Beuno, which has straw covering the floor as well as a medieval lepers’ window. On their penultimate day, the pilgrims reach Aberdaron, their final stop on the mainland. Here, they visit St Hywyn’s, a medieval church dedicated to the Celtic early Christian saint, and rich in pilgrim history. It’s a recent tradition that pilgrims collect a stone from the beach and then add it to a prayer stone cairn outside the church. But the process of ‘letting go’ unleashes waves of emotion in almost every pilgrim. Christine is delighted to let go of things from her life, including the breakdown of her marriage. On their final day, they reach the nearby cove, where the ferryman, Colin Evans, is waiting for them. But today, as thousands of pilgrims before them have found, the wind and tides aren’t favourable. A crossing in these conditions could be treacherous, and Colin tells them it’s impossible to get to Bardsey. However, he does tell them where they can at least get a stunning view of the island, the legendary resting place of 20,000 Christian saints. Documentary Series 16: 17.

Freshwater: Timing Is Everything Freshwater covers only a tiny fraction of the earth’s surface, but it is a vital meeting place for many animals - the stage on which millions gather to find a mate. Yet with so little of it available, and often only briefly, the challenge for most individuals is how to overcome intense competition when your rivals are just as dependent on the precious freshwater for their success. Whether it is from melting ice, torrential rain or shrinking wetlands, the cycle of freshwater is the trigger for spectacular mating rituals and fierce combat. The start of the rains in South Africa triggers a violent battle between male giant African bullfrogs. Rare hooded grebes in Patagonia perform one of nature’s more comical dances to seduce their partner, and a male cichlid fish builds a home for his harem from old snail shells, but a sneaky dwarf has the last laugh there. The mating season for animals that live in freshwater is often determined by when is best for their new offspring - even if that moment is far from ideal for the parents. In the wetlands of Zambia, female lechwe antelope search for the strongest males while contending with drought, and in the Pantanal of Brazil at the end of the dry season, caimans congregate in huge numbers around the last remaining water to perform their spectacular displays. For all those dependent on the cycle of freshwater to breed, timing is everything.

Film Series 23: Katarina Johnson-Thompson Olympic, Commonwealth and World Champion medal-winning heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson wants to know more about her late dad’s side of the family and her Bahamian ancestry. Katarina returns to Liverpool, where she grew up with her mum, Tracey. Tracey shows her a family tree from Katarina’s christening book. It shows her paternal grandparents and great-grandparents, but Tracey knows nothing beyond their names. She suggests that Katarina should visit her aunt Toni, her dad’s sister, who lives in The Bahamas. Toni shares memories of growing up with Katarina’s dad and with their mother and grandmother. They were close to that side of the family, but their dad didn’t live with them, and so she can’t tell Katarina much about the Thompson line. To find out more, Katarina meets researcher Francine Russell. Katarina discovers that her great-grandparents Elvin Thompson and Clara Farrington were married in the church and that their fathers were Alexander Thompson and Matthew Farrington. Francine couldn’t find any more records relating to Alexander, but on the Farrington line, Katarina discovers that her great-great-grandfather Matthew’s father was also called Matthew. He was married to Christiana, and they lived on Black Point, a settlement on one of the cays that make up the Exumas. In Black Point, historian Dr Grace Turner explains that there are often gaps in the records in the area, caused by natural disasters among other things, which makes it difficult to do the usual cross-referencing. But Grace thinks she has a record which reveals that Katarina’s four-times great-grandfather Clarence purchased a plot of land in 1857 for six pounds. Grace and Katarina go and look at where the plot of land was and speculate on the struggle it must have taken to purchase it. Grace has one more document relating to Katarina’s family. A passenger list shows that Matthew Farrington junior, Katarina’s great-great-grandfather, left The Bahamas in September 1913 for Miami. In Miami, Katarina meets historian Nadege Green, who shows Katarina a photo of Matthew and explains that his wife and children joined him in Miami along with members of his extended family. They lived in Waddell Street in Overtown. At the time, it was called ‘Coloured Town’, and Katarina’s family would have been subject to the Jim Crow laws, which made every aspect of city life racially segregated.
