Episode 5

It's the final in this brand new Champion of Champions competition. The four winners from the heats get behind their cooking stations for one final time, and at the end of the day one of them walks away a champion. Chicken, tarragon and grape salad takes on chicken, asparagus and pea risotto in the starter duel, and venison with an orange and juniper sauce takes on duck with vanilla mash. There is also a big surprise in store for our finalists: joining presenter Dave Lamb and Glynn Purnell at the dining table are the eight losers from the heats, who will not only be tasting the food but also scoring it, meaning that the finalists have to make a total of 12 plates of food. Only two champions can go through to the dessert finale where they face the ultimate technical challenge set by Glynn Purnell - and it will be down to the Michelin-starred chef to decide whose dessert outshone the other and take them to glory, becoming a champion of champions.

Miss Austen

Miss Austen takes a literary mystery – Cassandra Austen notoriously burning her famous sister Jane's letters – and reimagines it as a fascinating, witty and heart-breaking story of sisterly love, while creating in Cassandra a character as captivating as any Austen heroine.

The drama begins in 1830, a while after Jane has died. Cassandra races to see her young friend Isabella who is about to lose her home following her father's death. Cassandra is ostensibly there to help her friend, but her real motive is to find a stash of private letters which, in the wrong hands, could destroy Jane's reputation. On discovering them, Cassandra is overwhelmed as she is transported back to her youth. In flashback, we meet Young Cassy and Jane as they navigate the infatuations, family feuds and dashed hopes which shaped their lives and laid the foundations for Jane's unforgettable stories. Cassandra's re-evaluation of her past eventually leads her to realise how blind she has been to the real cause of Isabella's heartache and distress. Finding a way to guide Isabella towards true happiness, Cassandra is finally able to understand and celebrate the sacrifices she chose to make for her brilliant sister, Jane.

Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'. As one of the few remaining fertile women, Offred is a Handmaid in the Commander's household, one of the caste of women forced into sexual servitude as a last desperate attempt to repopulate the world. In this terrifying society, Offred must navigate between Commanders, their cruel Wives, domestic Marthas, and her fellow Handmaids – where anyone could be a spy for Gilead – all with one goal: to survive and find the daughter that was taken from her.
