Ashes To Ashes Ep 6/8

High Definition programme
Friday 7 May
9.00-10.00pm Â鶹Éç ONE

All hell has broken loose at Fenchurch East prison; the inmates are rioting and DCI Gene Hunt is ready to go in all guns blazing to teach the lags a lesson, as the Eighties police drama continues. However, things don't go to plan; the riot team is hugely outnumbered and, in the chaos of the retreat, Sgt Viv James is left behind.

DCI Jim Keats is quick to place the blame for Viv's capture on Gene, casting further doubt in DI Alex Drake's mind about Gene's motives.

The team gains access to the prison CCTV and Alex tries to negotiate with the leader of the revolt, Jason Sachs, but her pleas fall on deaf ears and time seems to be running out for Viv.

DI Ray Carling and DC Chris Skelton are tasked with bringing in Paul Thordy, a prisoner who managed to escape in all the commotion. However, during the interrogation, Alex is shocked when Thordy claims to be someone she knows – someone from her past.

Meanwhile, when Sachs asks for the press to be allowed into the prison it gives Gene the chance to send in Chris and Ray, but Sachs is no fool and soon realises they are undercover officers, leaving the pair in danger.

Alex then makes a shocking discovery and as Viv, Chris and Ray's lives hang in the balance, she has to set aside her differences with Gene to try to save their lives.

DCI Gene Hunt is played by Philip Glenister, Sgt Viv James by Geff Francis, DCI Jim Keats by Daniel Mays, DCI Alex Drake by Keeley Hawes, Jason Sachs by Stanley Townsend, DI Ray Carling by Dean Andrews, DC Chris Skelton by Marshall Lancaster and Paul Thordy by Steven Robertson.

Ashes To Ashes is simulcast on the Â鶹Éç HD channel – the Â鶹Éç's High Definition channel, available through Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.

Â鶹Éç TWO Friday 7 May 2010

How To Live A Simple Life Ep 1/3

New series
Friday 7 May
9.00-10.00pm Â鶹Éç TWO (Schedule addition 21 April)

Anglican priest Peter Owen Jones goes back to basics to try to live a simpler and more meaningful life in this new series.

Inspired by his experiences in last year's Â鶹Éç Two series Around the World In 80 Faiths, Peter returns to credit-crunch Britain and to the realisation that modern life has become a frenzy of spending and working. He yearns for a life of simplicity and meaning – a deeper connection to both nature and people. Filmed over the course of eight months in his beautiful Sussex parishes, the series follows Peter as he tries to turn his back on consumerism.

Peter initially starts his new life by downsizing, helping the local farmer and growing his own vegetables. However, when after five months this doesn't prove enough, he decides to follow the example of medieval saint Francis of Assisi and goes into "voluntary poverty", to try to live without money altogether. The series explores whether Peter can survive without cash in his own parishes, and if his parishioners will support – and possibly even join – him.

Throughout the series, Peter hones his skills as a gardener, chicken-keeper, wood-chopper and dishwasher in an unpredictable and entertaining journey as he tries to uphold the Rule of St Francis in today's consumer-based society.
